Why can't I shout for Durnehviir?

You can't shout for Durnehviir because you likely haven't met the specific requirements: aiming at the ground in a large, open area, ensuring all three words of the "Summon Durnehviir" shout are unlocked and powered with Dragon Souls, and sometimes needing to be in combat, as it's treated like a Conjuration spell. Common issues include aiming incorrectly (not at the ground), insufficient space, or not holding the shout button long enough to utter all three words, say Bethesda Support, Reddit users.

Why isn't my Summon Durnehviir Shout working?

Durnehviir not working in Skyrim usually means you need to aim at the ground in a large, open, flat area, fully unlock all three words of the shout (using dragon souls), and hold the shout button down to use all words consecutively; also, check for spell absorption, which blocks summons, or other mods/bugs, as he acts like a conjuration spell.

Will Durnehviir fight for you?

Yes, Durnehviir fights for you after you've made a pact with him in the Soul Cairn; he becomes a powerful summonable ally who joins combat, fights alongside you (often summoning undead minions), and teaches you the Soul Tear shout over three summons, but he is summoned using a shout rather than directly joining you like Odahviing.
