Hi.
A few months ago, i downloaded dawnguard for xbox 360 - everything was going well until i entered : the soul cairn. i finished everything in that area - including the arvak skull quest. when i exited the soul cairn with serana, we headed for ice water jetty - so i could collect shadowmere. he/she (shadowmere) was there looking absolutely fine. it was at this point, i remembered i had a spell to summon arvak to skyrim, so, i summoned that horse and headed back to whiterun riding arvak. to cut the long story short - the novelty quickly worn off with arvak, and i fast travelled back to ice water jetty to collect shadowmere. well, when i arrived, she wasn't there? so, i began investigating where he/she was. i can't find shadowmere anywhere, i have even returned to the falkreath dark brotherhood sanctuary pool, he/she isn't there and it's the same story with the dawnstar sanctuary. i reloaded a old save file to see if this was a one-off, well, it happens with that as well. this is a bug that comes with arvak? it doesn't happen with other horses `just arvak`
i have been looking for months and i still can't find shadowmere anywhere. if he/she is dead i can't find the body either. Anyone else have this problem?
Ok 2 Possible answers here.
1.Shadowmere was killed. She does spawn outside the original dark brotherhood sanctuary every so often
2. Fast travel some where and she will most likely appear
I've under no circumstances really favored "How to vanish totally" for some cause...I believe it is Thom's vocals on this tune... So i'll go along with "Disappear." I appreciated that track, I have got to take heed to extra INXS. =)
