I know there's a Skyrim thread, but I highly doubt this question would get answered.

How do you trigger this quest?

+ Show Spoiler +

I've entered and re-entered multiple times at night (around 10pm-2am) and the murder scene hasn't triggered. I've finished the Empire's questline. I've completed the requirements to become thane in Windhelm except for buying Hjerim because whenever I try to buy it, he says there were some "unpleasantness recently" and am unable to buy it. I've broken into the house, taken the journal, the pamphlets, and the necklace, and it still won't trigger. The console commands (setstage MB11 10) have failed to force start the quest as well.


This is frustrating

It's a bug, if you've completed the Dark Brotherhood questline, I think, then the quest won't trigger.

Team Liquid shouldn't be your go-to resource for Skyrim. Try GameFaqs or TES Wiki.

It isn't. I've searched on both TES wiki, Uesp wiki, Reddit, GameFaqs, 2old2play, and a few others and none of the solutions they had worked I was hoping TL Skyrim players would have a little more insight into this.

Nooo! Thanks for telling me this T__T Looks like I can't buy Hjerim now.

Wait what? I finished the dark brotherhood quests, then i bought hjerim (i did the rebel quests)....
Then I got the blood on the ice quest, directly went into hjerim, and finished the quest. Now hjerim is my house. Are you sure you can't buy hjerim before finishing the quest?

EDIT: Actually I first picked it open with my skeleton key.

If you finished the imperial legion quests before this quest triggering (you have to enter Windhelm 4 times for it to trigger) it wont start. Its a bug, i had to use console codes to get the house -.-'''.
If you want the console commands to get the house go to http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Blood_on_the_Ice

Try a different time, the event triggered for me in the morning while I was doing the White Phial quests

My fiancee had this problem today too -.- I told her to just reload a save before she started the quest because it was so buggy.

I've tried at every hour, and the murder still isn't triggering. I really don't want to reload a save. I've already put in 170 hours on this character If I had to go back before I finished the Dark Brotherhood quest line, I'd de-level 30ish levels...

Thanks for the input, guys.
