I'm doing the final boss battle against Miraak and he becomes ethereal when he has low health, but when he goes to absorb a dragon soul I take it instead. Anyone know how to fix this?

Do not invite me to your private group. I will not join.

Load a save before the fight. This bug happens if you attack the dragons as they land to give him their souls. Do not attack them.

I saved over my last save and I was foolish enough to not make any back ups. I was 80% done with everything and now I have to start Dragonborn over. :(

I apologize for not contributing.

I loaded an earlier save, but this keeps happening. I just stood in the corner not attacking him, but the dragon that I flew in on whittled away his health until he became ethereal and the bug happened. Any other ideas?

The HELL you are! These are precious gifts to me and they are non-transferable! How dare you regift my challenge prize. You might as well hock a wedding ring for beer money. -DeeJ

This happened a lot to me. Here's what you do. Attack him first, not the dragons! When the dragons land don't kill it! He is supposed to kill it so he can get the soul. Don't kill the dragons.

Can you absorb dragon souls while you're etheral? If not try that.

The thing is, I haven't been even touching them. He calls them down, kills them, but the soul comes to me.

Sadly, they still come to me.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Try not to damage Miraak so quickly, that may cause issues.

Also, apparently there's another bug to get Miraak out of ethereal. Though, I wouldn't count that as solving your problems.

This. This is a pretty common bug.
