Starting for the first time can be intimidating, and with so much to do you can easily miss the seven best Skyrim quests - even if you’re on your third or fourth playthrough. To streamline your experience and make sure you get the best of what Skyrim has on offer, I’ve hunted down the best quests for those of you who want to sample some tales that’ll take you on a trip along the entire emotional spectrum, all while you can see dragons gliding through the sky. What more could you want?.: Release date, location, races, and everything we knowA Night to RememberHow to trigger it: Get to level 14, then search the inns for Sam GuevenneIt’s The Hangover in quest format. That’s really all you need to know. You’ll meet the ale-loving mage in various inns around Skyrim, bent over his tankard and hellbent on getting into a drinking competition with you. It’s tempting to ignore him - you have bigger problems on your plate after all, like y’know, the destruction of humankind by an apocalyptic dragon - but indulge him.
Once you’ve supped your fill, you’ll wake up in the temple of Dibella faced with certain accusations about your raucous behaviour. Simply follow the trail of clues to its conclusion to experience one of Skyrim’s funniest quests! Dark Brotherhood main questlineHow to trigger it: Find Aventus Aretino in Windhelm, then join the Dark Brotherhood (duh)The Dark Brotherhood never does things by halves (they are dedicated to assassination, after all), and their main quest is no different. As you go up the ranks in the shady guild, deviously intriguing scenarios arise as you get tangled in both national politics and the delicate hierarchy of the Brotherhood. It’s got a depth to it that’s largely absent from the rest of the game, and you’ll come to genuinely care for the killers you associate with. With a conclusion to make you experience some extreme emotions - no spoilers here - it’s not one you’re going to forget in a hurry. Blood on the IceHow to trigger it: Travel to Windhelm and explore the graveyard between 7pm and 6am.
You’ll find a group of people crowded around a corpse - talk to themFor those who have always wanted to be a detective, this quest will delight you. Well, if you love the sight of an innocent being murdered and their body left on nothing less than a grave. Morbid enough for you? Blood on the Ice is a proper whodunnit, with you as the detective. Hunting down leads and finding evidence is thrilling, and makes me wonder why there’s not more quests like it in Skyrim. Sneaking, charisma, a bit of good old-fashioned deduction: this quest uses a wide variety of both in-game skills and real life ones. So get that magnifying glass ready.
The Mind of MadnessHow to trigger it: Go to the Winking Skeever in Solitude and listen to the rumour about the man wandering Solitude’s streetsTime to delve into the history of Tamriel’s emperors - but this lesson isn’t going to be nearly as boring as your schooldays. Instead once you talk to a rather confused man wandering the streets, you’ll be pulled into an almost combat-free quest that’ll take you places you have never visited before. That much I can guarantee. As well as a chance to meet a Daedric Prince in the flesh, this quest proves how creative the minds behind Skyrim can be when they’re given free reign, as you’ll have to experiment with some new rules and challenge your problem-solving abilities.
Here you will find all the quests related to the various Daedric gods and there’s quite a few of them. These quests all have certain triggers (you often have to complete a Miscellaneous Quest or find the god’s shrine or something like that to trigger these quests), so we’ll tell you how to get these quests, then we’ll give you a guide to them!
- The Daedric Quests are quests that are completed at the request of one of the Daedric Princes, for some kind of reward, usually a Daedric artifact. Sixteen Daedric Artifacts are available in total (note that the Skeleton Key is not considered to be a Daedric Artifact in Skyrim).
- Of the seventeen Daedric Princes, sixteen have an artifact attributed to them in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Before these artifacts can be obtained, however, specific tasks called Daedric quests must be performed. Two of these Daedric quests involve the reward being a choice between two.
Frostflow AbyssHow to trigger it: Travel to the Frostflow Lighthouse, on the coast east of DawnstarLike Blood on the Ice, this quest is a bit of a mystery. Throw in a shocking scene in the lighthouse plus journals with increasingly chilling entries and you get Frostflow Abyss. Entering the lighthouse for the first time is a disturbing experience, and it doesn’t let up even when you’ve got some answers. Beware, though: if you’re low-level you might want to wait before trying this quest, as the enemies in question don’t hold back. You’ll be delving deep into the earth too, so stock up on potions before entering Frostflow Lighthouse or you might end up regretting it. Laid to RestHow to trigger it: Travel to Morthal and speak to the innkeep about the house that burned down recentlyA burned-down house.
A dead child. And enough chills to last you a lifetime. That’s Laid to Rest summed up, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the saddest quest in Skyrim.
Talking to the townspeople about the shock they got from the house burning down is just the start, and you’ll get the usual smalltown gossip that’s often prevalent in real life too. But that’s where the similarities end, as the intrigue, horror, and devastation that come from the quest’s revelations are the stuff of nightmares.
Forgetting about FjolaHow to trigger it: Go to Mistwatch Fort, found between Eastmarch and the Rift, and enter the North tower, where you’ll run into ChristerAfter some twists and turns? Then Forgetting about Fjola is for you. What starts as the usual quest to clear a fort of bandits turns into a search and rescue mission, but I’m betting that you won’t be able to predict where it’s going. Look at Forgetting about Fjola through a certain lens and it’s a tale of empowerment, but however you think of it there’s the opportunity to fill bandits with a ton of arrows and dabble in a couple’s relationship. Don’t worry, though - this is no matchmaker quest. Cupid doesn’t exist in the Elder Scrolls.
Either choice will require the player to enter the Star and defeat the necromancer that is defiling Azura's Star from within. If the player brings Azura's Star to Azura, they will be rewarded with the purified variant of the Star, which can only absorb the souls of lesser creatures (, the Priestess of Azura who gave you the quest will also become a follower). Bring the Star to the necromancer that helped the player, and they will be rewarded with the Black Star, which can absorb the souls of NPCs. (The souls of NPCs count as Grand-level souls).
However, one can not collect blood from those who suffer from even if they are the correct race, this could be because their blood is not pure. Upon doing this, return to Septimus who will unlock the Dwemer lockbox to reveal the Oghma Infinium. However, upon the Infinium being revealed, Septimus tries to take it and is immediately disintegrated by (who appeared earlier in the quest). Hermaeus Mora then allows the Dragonborn to take the Oghma Infinium, which will allow the player to choose to increase all of the Mage, Thief, or Warrior skills by 5 points each. Note: Both reward items (The Savior's Hide and the Ring of Hircine) can be retrieved following these steps.
First, when the Dragonborn begins the hunt, Sinding will speak with them. The Dragonborn must select the option to spare Sinding's life. Next, after all the hunters have been killed, the Dragonborn should speak to him. After the quest complete notification has appeared, Sinding should be killed. He should not be skinned yet. The Dragonborn must then go outside and Hircine will speak to them, where they should select the option 'I failed to bring down Sinding' and wait for the dialogue to finish.
The Dragonborn should now have the Ring of Hircine, with the curse removed. The Dragonborn should now go back in the cave and find Sinding's body, skin it, and Hircine will appear again. After the dialogue, the Dragonborn should now have both the Savior's Hide and the Ring of Hircine. Is the dagger from Oblivion that was previously used by the. It can be obtained by completing a simple chain quest. The first part of the quest involves visiting with a descendant of the assassins of, who runs a small museum dedicated to the Mythic Dawn.
