Clearing Stuck Signals from Dead or Glitched Dragons

The Dragon Radars Mod is designed to ignore slain dragons so you do not waste journeys tracking old kills. However, you may occasionally follow a valid tracking signal all the way to its destination only to find a dead dragon waiting there.

Why Dead Dragons Still Appear

Under normal conditions, any dragon with 0 HP is automatically excluded from radar scans. Occasionally, a slain dragon becomes glitched in the world and continues registering on the radar despite having no health left. Until that corpse is fully cleared out, the compass can remain locked onto it instead of pointing toward living targets farther away.

Resolving a Ghost Signal

1. Follow the steady compass pointer until it switches to a counter-clockwise spin, confirming you are aligned on the X and Z axes.

2. Travel up or dig down along the Y axis to reach the exact spot the radar is indicating.

3. If you discover an unharvested dragon corpse instead of a living threat, completely harvest its bones.

4. Once the bones are harvested and the body is removed from the world, check your radar again.

5. The compass will drop the cleared signal—either returning to an idle clockwise spin if the area is empty, or snapping toward the next living dragon matching your filters.
