The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Walkthrough sections: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8

Sanguine

• YouTube: Oblivion Walkthrough - Daedric Quests: Sanguine (Time: 6:49)
  

1. You will need to be level 8 to start this quest.
2. You can find the shrine to the southwest of Weatherleah (if you've done "Lost Legacy."
3. You can also find it by going to the area below the ve in the text that reads Imperial Reserve on the map.
4. Find the shrine and talk to Engorm.
5. You will learn that Sanguine demands an offering of cyrodiilic brandy.
6. You can buy this from "The Main Ingredient" in the Imperial City if you don't want to search wealthy houses and castles for it.
7. Offer the brandy to him and you'll be given the mission.
8. You will have to spoil the party for Countess Alessia at Castle Leyawiin.
9. He'll give you a special spell called Stark Reality.
10. Note: It is possible that Alessia won't be at her party. She takes trips in the middle of the month. If she's not there just wait a few days for her to come back.
11. There will be a guard at the door.
12. He should let you through if you are wearing "nice clothes." It appears that the game just checks the value of your clothes. If you have really nice armor on then you should be able to get in.
13. If this doesn't work just get the guard's disposition above 70. He'll let you into the party in the dining room.
14. Save in case this doesn't work right.
15. When they are sitting down just start sneaking and get into a corner.
16. Cast Stark Reality on the Countess to take away all their clothes and leave them in their underwear.
17. If it doesn't work just reload and try again.
18. The area effect will hit you too. You will lose all your items and gold temporarily.
19. Unfortunately this means you can't pay your fine.
20. There is one way to avoid detection.
21. Sneak or use Chameleon to hide from the group.
22. Cast the spell.
23. Before the spell hits, drink a potion of invisiblity.
24. They shouldn't see you.
25. If you don't avoid detection, it isn't a big deal.
26. You can run or spend two days in jail if you are caught.
27. If you make it out of the city, you can travel to Sanguine's shrine and reclaim your items in a nearby chest.
28. You will then have the gold to pay the fine.
29. This feels excessive though, since the penalty for a stay in jail isn't much.
30. Sanguine will reward you with a staff called Sanguine's Rose.
31. If you use it on a target, it will summon up a random Daedra.
32. The Daedra will only ally with you half of the time though (part of Sanguine's sense of humor).
33. Not that useful except for playing around.

Malacath

• YouTube: Oblivion Walkthrough - Daedric Quests: Malacath (Time: 5:24)
  

1. You need to be level 10 to start this quest.
2. You will find his shrine past Fort Sutch and by Lord Drad's Estate.
3. Just go straight up from Anvil to find it.
4. Talk to Shobob and get his disposition past 50. If you're an Orc he is probably already there.
5. You'll learn that you need to offer troll fat to Malacath.
6. Go kill a troll or buy some from The Main Ingredient. I'm sure you should have some lying around from your adventures though.
7. Offer the troll fat to him and he'll give you the quest.
8. Lord Drad is imprisoning a lot of ogres in the Bleak Mine.
9. You need to free them.
10. Go to the estate and talk to Lord Drad to find out that the ogres are in Bleak Mine. He'll mark it on your map.
11. Don't bother telling him to release them, I think it just makes the guards hostile.
12. Save now.
13. It gets really spotty from here on out.
14. There are five guards in the mine.
15. They will usually be friendly if you didn't anger Drad, but you can't count on it.
16. In this case you can pickpocket the keys off of them and open both sets of cages.
17. The ogres will then kill the five guards.
18. This isn't always reliable though.
19. Some people have had issues with the mission if an ogre dies.
20. I think that you will only lose the reward if *you* kill or hurt the ogres. I've seen the guards kill one and I still received my reward.
21. It is also possible that the guards will be hostile when you enter.
22. In this case you will need to face three well armed guards in the front and two in the back.
23. This is a tough fight and only true warriors will be able to get by without some luck and sneaking.
24. You'll just have to roll with the punches.
25. As long as most of the ogres make it out alive you should be fine.
26. Tip: Make a few trips and loot the guards well. They should all have very expensive armor on them.
27. You can swing by Lord Drad's Estate to see that the ogres have had a little uprising and that Drad and his wife are now the slaves. Poetic justice.
28. Walk back to Malacath's shrine and report the success.
29. You will receive Volendrung.
30. It is a huge warhammer that paralyzes a target for three seconds and drains their health.
31. It isn't that great of a weapon though, and you'll get much better ones in other quests.

Meridia

• YouTube: Oblivion Walkthrough - Daedric Quests: Meridia (Time: 6:43)
  

1. You will need to be level 10 to start this quest.
2. You can find her shrine by traveling straight west from the Skingrad stables.
3. Once you're there you can talk to Basil Ernarde to learn that Meridia demands an offering of undead material.
4. You will need to give up some mort flesh, bonemeal, or ectoplasm.
5. If you haven't been fighting any undead, then you are very lucky.
6. Just do a mission and keep some material from one of the undead.
7. Offer it up to Meridia to start this quest.
8. It seems that there is a group of necromancers working from a nearby cave.
9. Meridia despises necromancers and wants you to kill all of them.
10. This is pretty straightforward from here on out.
11. Head to Howling Cave.
12. It is located a bit southeast of Skingrad.
13. Head into the cave and kill the weak enemies up front.
14. You need to find the rope and pull it to open a rock wall.
15. It should be a marked spot at the back of the cave.
16. You then need to save and enter the Lower Galleries.
17. At this point you'll be facing a bunch of necromancers and undead.
18. They aren't really that strong, you just need to work slowly and heal after each fight so that tehy don't overwhelm you.
19. Tip: Make sure you loot all the bodies. They carry tons of healing potions.
20. Each of the necromancers is marked with a green arrow.
21. Just methodically hunt them down and kill them.
22. Once they're dead you can backtrack out of the cave.
23. Head back to the shrine and report your success to Meridia.
24. You will receive the Ring of Khajiiti.
25. It will boost your speed and give a good bonus to your chameleon.
26. It's pretty handy for sneaking around.

Nocturnal

• YouTube: Oblivion Walkthrough - Daedric Quests: Nocturnal (Time: 9:50)
  

1. You need to be level 10 to do this quest.
2. You can find the shrine a bit up the road to the northeast of Leyawiin.
3. The shrine is just off the road. You can't miss it.
4. You don't even need an offering. Just talk to the shrine.
5. Nocturnal's Eye was stolen by a few Argonians in Leyawiin.
6. You need to find it again.
7. Head back to Leyawiin and talk to a guard.
8. You may have to bribe him to get an answer.
9. Ask about Leyawiin and he should mention Weebam-Na talking about a big score.
10. Follow the arrow to his house in town.
11. You can talk to him or his girlfriend Bejeen but they won't talk about.
12. Walk back to the door and start sneaking.
13. They should start talking about the Eye.
14. If not just leave and reenter while sneaking.
15. Listen for a moment and you'll learn that they hid it in Tidewater Cave.
16. Find it just a bit south of Leyawiin along the coastline.
17. Enter the cave.
18. There will just be a few wild animals in here.
19. Tip: If you kill a mountain lion make sure you hang unto its pelt for a later quest.
20. Just follow the arrow.
21. You will want to take the first tunnel to the left and swim underwater.
22. Take another left in the water to go down a tunnel.
23. Follow it to the end and you should see Nocturnal's eye shining out from under the water.
24. Pick it up.
25. Loot the rest of the cave if you want, otherwise just leave.
26. Talk to Nocturnal and return the Eye.
27. She'll thank you and reward you with the Skeleton Key.
28. This is possibly one of the best items in the game.
29. It is an unbreakable lockpick that boosts your Security by 40 (not that Security skill even matters if you can't break a lockpick).

Peryite

• YouTube: Oblivion Walkthrough - Daedric Quests: Peryite (Time: 9:52)
  

1. You will need to be level 10 to start this quest.
2. You can find his shrine northeast of Leyawiin.
3. Its right inbetween the words "Silverfish" and "River" on the map.
4. When you get there all of Peryite's followers will be unconscious.
5. Walk up to the shrine and talk to Peryite.
6. It seems that his followers accidentally got sucked into Oblivion after they tried to communicate with Peryite.
7. Your mission is to go rescue their souls.
8. Talk to Peryite again when you're ready to go into Oblivion.
9. There are five of them in total.
10. They are pretty spread out, but they are all marked with green arrows.
11. They are also all outside. You don't have to go inside anything if you want. The loot isn't too good anyway.
12. It is going to be very hard to give directions since they're all spread out and Oblivion isn't known for its landmarks.
13. The best clue is that they all are near big fires. You can spot the smoke from far away.
14. You will find Ilvel Romayn wandering around by a tower that's far south of your starting point. Follow the arrow and look for the smoke.
15. Er-Teeus is on the other side of a Grotto. You can just jump over the hillside and walk on top of the grotto to cross it without fighting. He's a bit north of Ilvel's position. You'll probably find them on the same path.
16. Kewan is also on this path by the cave. He's near Er-Teeus off of a little branch.
17. If you follow this path you shouldn't be too far away from the starting point.
18. Mirie is across a bridge by the starting point.
19. You'll now it's the right one because a bunch of burning zombies are hanging from it.
20. Maren the Seal is on an island in the lava. It is near the bridge to Mirie.
21. You can go there by a special Grotto near Kewan, but you really don't have to. You should be able to jump along the rock path and get to him.
22. Once you have all five souls you can head back to the starting point to find a portal back to the shrine.
23. Just activate it to head back.
24. Peryite will thank you and give you Spell Breaker as a reward. It is a heavy shield that reflects 30% of a spell's damage.
25. It is a decent piece of equipment, but you will probably find better.

Mephala

• YouTube: Oblivion Walkthrough - Daedric Quests: Mephala (Time: 7:58)
  

1. You will need to be level 15 to start this quest.
2. You can find Mephala's shrine below the first "a" in the text "The Heartlands" on the map. It is to the northeast of Imperial City.
3. Travel there and talk to Dredena Hlavel.
4. You'll learn that you have to offer Nightshade to Mephala.
5. You can buy a sample of Nightshade from "The Main Ingredient" in Imperial City or "All Things Alchemical" in Skingrad.
6. There is also some Nightshade in the Mystic Archives at the Arcane University.
7. Head back to the shrine and offer the Nightshade to Mephala.
8. Your mission will be to travel to Bleaker's Way and start a war.
9. There are two feuding families and they just need a little push in the right direction.
10. Travel there and get the lay of the land.
11. The settlement is just a little bit west of the shrine.
12. Wait until it is night.
13. Both of the family leaders live near each other by the inn.
14. Go into Hrol Ulfgar's home.
15. He should be asleep in his bedroom on the top floor.
16. While your going up look for a table beside the staircase.
17. The Ulfgar Family Ring is on the table.
18. Pick it up.
19. Sneak into the bedroom and get a sneak attack in. You may want to use poison to make it a one-hit kill.
20. If you don't kill him in one hit just keep swinging. He won't scream loud enough for anyone to hear.
21. Walk back outside with the family ring and enter Nivan Dalivu's house.
22. Grab the Dalivu Ceremonial Dagger off of his table.
23. Approach Nivan and sneak attack him. His bed is just in a recessed spot on the one floor home.
24. Hit him until he's dead.
25. Search his body and switch the inventory screen to putting items in a container.
26. Plant the Ulfgar Family Ring on his body.
27. Walk back to Hrol Ulfgar's body.
28. Put the Dalivu Ceremonial Dagger on his body.
29. Wait until morning.
30. Talk to one of the people in town and report the murder.
31. Then just jump onto a rooftop and watch the mayhem.
32. Report back to Mephala when the fight is over.
33. You will receive the Ebony Blade. It is a good sword that both Silences and Absorbs Health.

Hircine

1. You will need to be level 17 to start this one.
2. You can find the shrine below the "ni" in the text on the map "The Nibenay Valley." It is located between the Imperial City and Bravil.
3. When you're there talk to Vajhira and tell her that you're a hunter.
4. She'll ask for a bear pelt or a wolf pelt as an offering to Hircine.
5. You can probably buy these from one of the general merchants in town.
6. At this level you'll probably find a wolf or a bear in any of the wilderness areas though.
7. If you're desperate just go through a few caves and look for wild animals.
8. Once you have a pelt offer it to Hircine.
9. Your mission is to go kill a unicorn.
10. There is just one in the game and it's in a nearby valley.
11. Note: It is locked at level 20. Some people stumbled across it early on and used it as a horse. The peaceful beast will attack anyone with a draw weapon. This meant that it would wipe out entire groups of city watchmen at low levels. Interesting but not relevant at this point.
12. Follow the quest arrow to the valley.
13. There will be three tough minotaurs guarding it.
14. They aren't too tough for a warrior at this level.
15. Just try to finish off one at a time.
16. Tip: If you haven't fought minotaurs before, you need to attack and back away. They use a hammer and a fire attack at close range. Blocking won't help.
17. Once the minotaurs are dead just heal and walk up to the unicorn.
18. It really isn't that tough.
19. Attack it until it's dead.
20. Then just loot the horn off of its body.
21. Take it back to Hircine to receive your reward.
22. You will receive the Savior's Hide.
23. It is a light cuirass that resists magic. It is pretty much worthless.

Molag Bal

• YouTube: Oblivion Walkthrough - Daedric Quests: Molag Bal (Time: 00:39)
  

1. You will need to be level 17 to start this quest.
2. You can find the shrine to the southeast of Chorrol.
3. It is located above the first "t" in text on the map reading "The Great Forest."
4. Amir will tell you that you need a lion pelt.
5. You hopefully still have one from the Nocturnal quest.
6. If you don't have one you can just explore the western wilderness or go back to Tidewater Cave.
7. You will need to corrupt a good man called Melus Petilius.
8. He lives in Brindle Home.
9. The location is marked on your map. You can find it just a little bit away.
10. It isn't too hard to find his cabin. It's a bit away from the town.
11. Just get a settler's disposition above 60 and ask about Melus to get his cabin marked on your map.
12. Save now. This quest is bugged.
13. You now need to get him to kill you with the cursed mace.
14. If you attack him now he will refuse to fight back.
15. You fail if he dies.
16. You need to wait until 10 AM. The settlers should have mentioned that he visits his wife's grave at that time.
17. Follow him out of the cabin and wait until he starts to mourn at the grave.
18. Drop the cursed mace in front of him.
19. Take off any equipment you have that reflects damage. It will probably kill him.
20. Remove your weapon and punch him in the face.
21. He should pick up the mace and start attack.
22. If you are experienced in Block your blocking will hurt him.
23. Just wait and let him hit you.
24. Once you die you'll be transported back to Molag Bal.
25. Note: The big bug is that you aren't supposed to really die. You are teleported out when your health is below 20. Some people turned up the difficulty to make it go faster, but this meant that one hit might actually kill you. In this case your stats are reset since the game didn't expect you to die. In other words, leave the difficulty alone and keep a good save.
26. Molag Bal will reward your service with the Mace of Molag Bal.
27. It isn't a very good weapon. It can only Absorb Magicka and Absorb Strength. You will probably have a better one already.

Boethia

• YouTube: Oblivion Walkthrough - Daedric Quests: Boethia (Time: 7:13)
  

1. You need to be level 20 to start this quest.
2. The shrine is really far to the east in the Valus Mountains.
3. You can find it by the letters "Mo" in the text that says "The Valus Mountains.
4. It is also directly east of the Arcane University.
5. The best way is to either go as the crow flies and make your way up the mountain where you can, or you can take an easier approach from the south by moving up from the Silverfish River.
6. Once you make it to the shrine you can talk to Haekwon to learn that you need to sacrifice a Daedra heart.
7. If you are in the main quest line you should already have some lying around.
8. If you aren't then you can start the main quest line to get some.
9. If you finished the main quest line then you can buy one from The Main Ingredient in the Imperial City or take the one from a display case in the Anvil Fighters Guild.
10. You can also raid Arkved's Tower or the Bravil Wizard's Grotto again.
11. Once you have your heart offer it to Boethia.
12. He'll ask you to win the Tournament of Ten Bloods.
13. You'll be facing a long tournament where you fight one representative of each of the other nine races.
14. The biggest problem is the damage.
15. Bring plenty of health potions, soul gems, and repair hammers to last through all the fights.
16. When you are ready activate the big blue portal.
17. Open your cage and walk towards the gate on your right.
18. The order will depend on what race you are so I can't help much.
19. He'll warn you as the gate opens.
20. Generally the Khajit, the Redguard, the Orc, the Nord, and the Imperial all use weapons.
21. The Breton, the Dark Elf, and the High Elf use magic.
22. The Wood Elf and the Argonian use arrows.
23. Tip: This is a perfect chance to play around with your useless Daedra staffs. The Skull of Corruption works well here since you'll be involved in one-on-one combat with a tough opponent. I also used the Staff of Worms from the Mages Guild quests to reanimate a miniature army to support me.
24. The fights are just one at a time.
25. If you are really hurt you can just use the wait command for an hour to rest and fully recover.
26. Repair your equipment each time and make sure you loot their bodies.
27. They have really nice equipment.
28. Tip: Watch out for the archers in particular. They have some really damaging enchanted arrows that take away a lot of your health.
29. After that I really can't help much.
30. If you are level 20 you should know how to handle your opponents in your own styles.
31. Warriors should use blocking and berserking to their advantage.
32. Archers should use the environment for support.
33. Mages should just blast everything.
34. Once you've cleared a path around the circle you will be right back where you started.
35. Activate the portal to leave.
36. Talk to Boethia to receive your reward.
37. It is the enchanted sword Goldbrand.
38. I think it is the best sword in the game.
39. Umbra does a bit more damage but this has an offensive enchantment.
40. It will serve you well for the rest of the game.

Clavicus Vile

• YouTube: Oblivion Walkthrough - Clavicus Vile Daedric Quest Playlist

1. You need to be level 20 to start this quest.
2. His shrine is really easy to find.
3. Just travel a short distance from the Imperial City. It is southwest of the city and right along the spot where the Red Ring Road meets the Gold Road.
4. Note: If you are playing on the XBox 360. Do not start the quest here. Just read ahead and get the sword first. You can then talk to Vile and end the quest as soon as it starts. There is a nasty bug that crashes the game if you follow the quest normally. It was patched, but you probably don't want to risk ruining the Daedric Quests now.
5. Ma'Raska will ask for a donation of 500 gold as your offering.
6. I would imagine that a level 20 should be able to scrap 500 gold together. You could get it just by selling a single bandit's armor.
7. Vile will explain that he wants a nice sword back.
8. He'll send you to Pell's Gate for more information.
9. You will also pick up a Hound in your pack. He'll give you information during the quest.
10. Get one of the people to really like you.
11. They'll tell you that Umbra is hiding out with the sword in a nearby Ayleid ruin called Vindasel.
12. She's really the only thing of interest in the ruin.
13. Just go in and head forward until you run into her.
14. She'll be tough at this level. Be careful.
15. Use your best tactics and wear her down.
16. Once she's dead loot her body for some nice armor and the sword called Umbra.
17. You'll receive a message from the Hound that reminds you of a choice you'll have to make.
18. Head back to Vile and you'll have to decide whether you turn in the sword or keep it.
19. Umbra has the highest attack value in the game, but it is already enchanted with a Soul Trap spell. That is effectively worthless. Even a basic warrior can cast soul trap.
20. Turning it in only results in you getting the Mask of Clavicus Vile.
21. It will fortify your personality by 20. It's equally worthless unless you practice the related magicka fields.
22. It's your choice.
23. They both count for completion.

Hermaeus Mora

• YouTube: Oblivion Walkthrough - Daedric Quests: Hermaeus Mora (Time: 9:29)
  

1. This is the big one.
2. You will need to be level 21 for this to start.
3. You need to have completed all of the other Daedric Quests.
4. You will need to have finished the Blood of the Daedra part of the main quest line.
5. Once all this is done a messenger from Mora will ask you to come see him.
6. The shrine is located to the northwest of Cloud Ruler Temple.
7. You should be able to follow a trail west from the Temple to reach it.
8. Talk to the shrine to start the quest.
9. He'll want you to collect the souls of ten different people. One from each race.
10. You will get a special soul trap spell from Mora and a special gem.
11. Note: When casting the spell only use it on one person. There have been bugs when it was cast on more than one at a time.
12. After that it's simple. Go kill someone from each race and make sure you use Mora's Soul Trap before they die.
13. You can go dungeon crawling and kill bandits, marauders, and necromancers until you get enough.
14. That's boring though.
15. Just go back and kill the worshipers at the other Daedra shrines.
16. Avoid Molag Bal's shrine though. One of the worshippers is the master Conjuration trainer.
17. Other than that, they're all fair game.
18. They will not report you to the law and they will not generally help each other.
19. They are also pretty weak.
20. If you get a bounty then an Imperial Forestor probably saw you do it.
21. Just pay off your bounty.
22. You should have enough money now anyways.
23. You can start with the Wood Elf, the Khajiit, and the Imperial at Mora's shrine.
24. You can then collect a High Elf, a Nord, and an Argonian at Sheogorath's shrine.
25. You can hit Clavicus Vile's and Merida's shrines for the rest.
26. Once you're done report back to Mora.
27. He'll give you the Oghma Infinium.
28. If you read it you can choose the Path of Steel, the Path of Spirit, or the Path of Shadow.
29. Steel raises Speed, Strength, Blade, Blunt, and Heavy Armor by ten points.
30. Spirit raises Intelligence, Alteration, Destruction, Conjuration, and Restoration by ten points.
31. Note: Spirit is supposed to raise Willpower as well, but it doesn't. Some patches fixed that issue.
32. Shadow raises Speed, Acrobatics, Sneak, Security, and Light Armor by ten points.
33. Tip: You may wish to use this to raise an off-hand talent. It is rare that a warrior can quickly raise his stealth or magicka that quickly. You may have maxed your skill set anyway.
34. The Daedric Quest Line is now complete.

Ayleid Ruins Quests

1. These quests are part of a long series you can start in the Imperial City.
2. I thought that they deserved their own section.

The Collector

• YouTube: Oblivion Walkthrough - Ayleid Statue Locations Playlist (10/10)

1. This us started when you find an Ayleid Statue in an Ayleid Ruin.
2. I'll list the ten relevant Ayleid Ruins below.
3. Once you have a statue you have two options.
4. If you sell one in Imperial City than a man named Jollring will ask you to come to Umbacano Manor.
5. You'll learn that his master, Umbacano, bought the statue and wants you to find the rest.
6. You can also just head straight to Umbacano Manor.
7. If you had asked for rumors you'll know that Umbacano loves Ayleid artifacts.
8. Head into the Talos Plaza District and find Umbancano Manor in the center area.
9. You'll probably have to follow Jollring up the stairs and into Umbacano's study.
10. Speak to him to learn that there are many of these statues available.
11. He believes that there are ten in total.
12. He'll already have the first, whether you sell it to him now, or if you sold it to a store.
13. He'll pay 500 gold for any more statues that you turn in, and you'll receive a 5,000 gold bonus if you turn in the full set.
14. Note: Without spoiling to much, you will need to complete the collector before you complete this line. After you start "Secrets of the Ayleid" you won't be able to finish this one. The best option is to finish this before you finish "Nothing You Can Possess."
15. Tip: If you don't need the money, don't bother with finishing this. You just need 3 to get to the next part of the quest.
16. Note: I'm going to list the ruins by order of ease, in case you want to just grab 3 to continue the quest line.

Nothing You Can Possess

1. This will be offered when you bring Umbacano the third statue.
2. He has another lead for you to work on.
3. There is a ruin called The High Fane which has a carved panel that he needs.
4. If you have already read the book called "The Cleansing of the Fane," then you will know what you're getting into and that it is now known as Malada.
5. If you haven't read it then don't worry, Clade Maric will come and ask for you to have drinks with him at the Tiber Septim Hotel.
6. Follow him and talk to him.
7. It turns out that he also wants the panel.
8. He'll suggest that you buy a copy of "The Cleansing of the Fane."
9. Malada is very far to the east of Bravil.
10. It will be a long journey, but you'll have a good quest arrow to follow.
11. Once you make it Malada you'll see a suspicious looking camp setup.
12. It seems that Maric has a surprise for you.
13. These people will attack you when you leave Malada with the panel.
14. Note: Maric isn't actually that bad. He's just a mercenary. He'll be an ally in a later mission so you'll want to keep him alive.
15. The best option is to talk to S'razirr.
16. Get his disposition past 65.
17. He'll then admit that it is in fact an ambush for you.
18. He doesn't like the plan though and will switch sides for half your reward.
19. Raise his disposition a bit more and he'll switch for 25%.
20. When you leave the ruins he'll fight against the other two.
21. Maric will just run away and be available later.
22. You can also just kill all three of them now, or you can wait until they go to sleep.
23. Maric will be scared off by your cruelty.
24. There are a bunch of other equality effective means to avoid or win the battle, but they aren't as good since Maric will die.
25. Head into Malada.
26. The simplest way to put this is that you need to head west.
27. Just keep moving along the linear path and fight the animals in your path.
28. Once you can't go west any more you'll be able to go just a bit south to see a door that your carved stone can open.
29. Put it in and head straight forward to grab the carved panel from the wall.
30. Note: You do not have to go into the Aldmerisel. Just avoid it. The only notable thing is a Varla Stone and those aren't that rare at this point.
31. Backtrack out and see through to the ending at the camp.
32. If S'razirr dies it is no big deal.
33. If he lived, he'll wait for you at the Tiber Septim Hotel.
34. Take the panel back to Umbacano for a leveled gold reward.
35. If you feel moral go and give S'razirr his share.
36. You can also just leave him there forever or refuse to give him his share. He'll then follow you out and attack you.

Secrets of the Ayleids

1. This is the final quest for this line.
2. Note: Advancing past the first stage will make it impossible for you to finish "The Collector."
3. Note: Make sure you agree to start the quest when he offers it. It usually isn't offered twice.
4. Your mission is to get a crown from Herminia Cinna.
5. He'll give you 1,000 gold to buy it, but she will refuse to sell it.
6. If you want, you can steal it from her home and just give it to him now.
7. It's just in an Ayleid Cask in her Quarters.
8. You can also listen to her advice and steal a similar crown from the Lindai ruins.
9. These are to the east of Chorrol.
10. Note: There are a lot of things to consider for this. Umbacano's plan is to use the crown to become the Ayleid King. If you give him the real one he'll become a powerful Lich. If you give him the one from Lindai he'll be roasted when he sits on the throne. If you can handle fighting a Lich along with 4 other leveled undead, you may want to just give him the real one. The reason is that you will then be able to loot both crowns for the enchantments, whereas the Lindai crown is destroyed in the roasting.
11. Follow the arrow and enter the ruins.
12. Lindai is very straightforward. Just keep moving forward through the ruins while watching out for traps.
13. You should know Ayleid design like the back of your hand by now.
14. You need to find the door to the Inner Tombs.
15. Once inside just look for a stone door that will open with Herminia's key.
16. You'll find the crown in the center.
17. Either way you'll need to give the crown to Umbacano.
18. He'll then ask you to meet him at Nenalata in 3 days.
19. It is a marked ruin by Bravil.
20. Wait for 3 days and travel there.
21. Save.
22. Umbacano can die so you will want to tell him to wait at the beginning.
23. If Maric survived he'll be an ally accompanying Umbacano.
24. Don't worry about his survival. He is there for distraction only.
25. Various ghosts and undead will be guarding the ruins, so be ready.
26. Do the leapfrog method by clearing out part of the opening and retrieving Umbacano.
27. Then ask him to wait and keep moving forward.
28. You'll reach the door to Wendesel ahead.
29. Have him wait.
30. Go in and clear the entrance out.
31. Fetch Umbacano.
32. Clear the way through the second room.
33. You'll find the door to Sel Aran Arpena.
34. There aren't many undead here so just let Umbacano head inside with you.
35. He'll use the carved panel to open up the passage to the throne.
36. Just watch the little event.
37. If you gave him the fake crown he'll die.
38. If you gave him the real crown he'll turn into an Ayleid King and attack you.
39. 4 leveled undead will come from the opened walls and the stairs will fold up.
40. Tip: As always, you will need to consider the conjuring potential of these undead. You can be outnumbered quickly if you don't kill the summoner quickly.
41. There isn't much left.
42. You should loot Umbacano's corpse either way.
43. Tip: If you want you can use his keys to loot his now semi-abandoned manor. You can bribe the night guard to leave so you can slip past and steal all the statues for your own home.
44. The stairs behind you raised up so you'll need to run out the back door of the throne room for this one.
45. Leave the ruins and you're done with this quest line.
