Walkthrough of the main plot of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Daedra quests (final version) “Fallen” - captivity of the dragon and peace in Skyrim

• Main article: Quests (Dawnguard)

Invisible visions(orig. Unseen visions) - quest of the main storyline of the factions Clan Volkihar and the Dawnguard in the addition The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard.

Returning after completing the previous task, the main character needs to find Dexion Ivik, who could read both remaining Elder Scrolls. Finding him, the hero learns that the monk is blind. Although Dexion will not be able to read the scrolls, he will indicate a way how they can be read without being blinded. To do this, you need to go to the cave Glade of the Ancestors and perform a special ritual.

Glade Ancestor

After entering the cave, you need to go down for a scraper knife, which is necessary to collect bark from a tree that attracts moths hovering in the cave. It is not necessary to catch moths, it is only required that they fly after the main character. To do this, you need to walk through the cave in search of clusters of these insects. There are seven such clusters.

After a “fluttering aura” forms around the protagonist, you need to stand in front of the altar and read the Ancient Scroll. After that, a ghost will appear in front of the hero, who will tell about the next step to the fulfillment of the prophecy - the place where you can find Auriel's Bow. When the ghost disappears, the protagonist will be attacked by vampires sent by Harkon (if the protagonist is on the side of the Dawnguard) or Dawnguard warriors sent by Isran (if the protagonist is on the side of the vampires). Note: in the cave you can find a leveled shield with a fire resistance enchantment. To do this, you need to stand in front of the altar so that there is a pink tree exactly behind it, then turn to the left - there will be a stream flowing over the stones; at the end of the brook there will be a shield.

Bugs

• After reading the Elder Scroll, a task will appear - to talk with Serana, but at that time she is fighting behind bars with hostile vampires, so this is impossible.
  • Solution: immediately after reading, you need to press the "Wait" button for about 12 hours and only then go to Serana. Or, you can use console commands. Open the console, click on the hash and type disable . After that, you will have to fight the vampires.
• After completing the quest, an aura may remain around the main character, which reduces visibility, especially in the dark.
  • Solution 1: make a save and exit the game. In the launcher, in the "Files" section, disable Dawnguard (uncheck). Re-enter the game, take a couple of steps, save and exit the game again. After that, you can connect Dawnguard and continue the game.
  • Solution 2: To remove the unwanted effect, you will need to install Moth Aura Remover

Quest stages

To go to a certain stage of the quest, enter in the console:

Setstage DLC1VQ06 stage

where the stage parameter is a number, the stage of the quest (all stages are listed below).

Notes

• Not all quest stages may appear in the quest log. Which of them will appear and which will not depend on how the quest is completed.
• Stages are not always displayed sequentially. This usually happens if the quest has multiple possible endings, and also if some of the quest steps can be completed in any order.
• If the stage is marked green, i.e. as the end of the quest, then this means that the quest disappears from the list of active quests in the journal, but new entries related to the quest may still appear in the quest journal.

Tramp Dervenin from Solitude asks you to help him get his owner back from vacation. According to him, the owner can be found in the forbidden wing of the Blue Palace, where the mad King Pelagius used to live. Having received the royal pelvic bone from Dervenin (useless, but can be sold), we go to the palace.

You can get to the Blue Wing by asking Fulk Firebeard or Una the cleaning lady about it. The wing has long been abandoned and covered with cobwebs, but the journey along it will soon be interrupted, and you will find yourself in a strange place where the Daedra lord Sheogorath spends his “vacation” along with the late Pelagius the Third.

Sheogorath will agree to interrupt the rest on the condition that you get out of the mind of Pelagius. You don't have any weapons or spells, just the Wabbajack staff you've been given. You need to go through three arches in turn and perform three simple steps:

• Behind the first arch on the left, where the atronachs are fighting in the arena, you need to apply Wabbajack to the spectators watching the grip.
• For the next - to shoot "night fears". Each subsequent fear is caused by the use of Wabbajack on young Pelagia.
• After the third arch, you will have to use the same staff to increase Pelagius' Confidence in size and reduce her enemies.

It is done! Our reward is the Wabbajack, a magical staff that fires a random spell each time it is used.

Returning to reality, do not forget to search the room for valuables.

Taste of Death (Namira)

In the city of Markarth, there are strange rumors about a local tomb. Learn about them from the bartender at the Silver Blood, or head straight to Understone Keep, where you'll find the Hall of the Dead and Brother Verelius. He will explain that someone is eating the dead and ask us to investigate this case.

If you do not agree with this formulation of the question and do not want to become a cannibal, kill Eola.

If not, help clear the Cliff Cave from the undead - from the beginning to the very altar of Namira. After that, Eola will ask you to bring brother Verelius to the cave. Do it or tell him about Namira's sinister plans.

Convince Verelius to come with you and bring him to the altar, where Namira's servants, invited to the meal, are already waiting. After that, do whatever you want - either obediently kill Verelius and start eating him, or save him at any moment and kill the cannibals.

The reward will be Namira's ring - it gives the opportunity to improve health by eating corpses. And the hero will have an unpleasant smell from the mouth, about which everyone will begin to report to him.

Door that whispers (Mephala)

Door that whispers (Mephala)

The owner of the Prancing Mare tavern in Whiterun will tell you that something strange is happening to Jarl Balgruuf's children.

The jarl himself will not deny the problems and will offer to talk with his son Nelkir (thereby asking everyone if they are also going to lick the jarl's boots). Nelkir will send us to a certain Whisperer in the basement.

The whispering door in the basement will introduce itself as Mephala. She will ask the hero to open the door and send him back to Nelkir for advice. The boy will tell you that the Jarl or the archmage of Farengar has the key. The easiest way to rob a mage.

Behind the door in the basement lies an ebony sword and a book warning that the artifact is dangerous. Quest done! The sword is the reward. It absorbs the health of enemies, and you can increase the effect if you kill several friends or companions with it.

House of Horrors (Molag Bal)

In Markarth, near the Silver Blood tavern (slightly up the street), Turan, the sentinel of Stendarr, roams. He will ask you to help him explore an abandoned house where, according to rumors, the Daedra are worshiped.

Alas, the house will turn out to be Molag Bal's trap and you will have to kill Turan.

Go down to the basement, to the altar of the Daedra Lord. There, touching the rusty mace and having been in the cage, you will receive the task - to bring to Molag Bal the priest of Boethia, named Logrolf, who ruined the mace.

The priest was captured by the Outcasts and kept in one of their camps (in which one - the random number generator decides). Leave the house, go to the indicated place and, after clearing it, take out Logrolf. Under any pretext, bring him to Molag Bal and, when the priest gets into the cage, knock on him with the mace issued by Molag Bal - and then, when the daedra lord orders, kill the priest.

The reward will be the pretty mace of Molag Bal, which takes away strength with magic and captures souls.

The only cure (Peryite)

The only cure (Peryite)

It is not easy to take on this assignment. Having reached the tenth level, you can wait a long time for a meeting with a sick refugee who will tell us where the sanctuary of Peryite and its guardian Kesh the Pure are located. But you can try to find this place in the mountains northeast of Markarth and northwest of the settlement of Karthwasten, south of Druadah Hold and southeast of the dwarven ruins of Bthardamz.

It's worth going there already with a kit that Khajiit Kesh will ask for. We need a Flawless Ruby, a Silver Bar, a Poison Bell, and Vampire Ashes. Silver ingots are the easiest to find - they are sold by blacksmiths, and you can steal an ingot in the same Kartvasten, where there is a silver mine. The poison bell grows in many places - especially in the northwestern swamps. Of course, it is easy to find it in alchemists. Vampire Ashes can be obtained from vampires or bought from an apothecary. Flawless Rubies are rare, but are starting to drop from vendors at higher levels.

Having received the necessary ingredients, Cash will brew a potion, and we, inhaling green smoke, will be able to talk with Peryite. He needs to kill the traitor Orkendor and his Taken in the dwarven ruins of Bthardamz, which is a stone's throw to the northwest. The dungeon is very large, and you can wander there for a long time. But there are no puzzles there, except for a couple of levers that need to be pulled to open a passage or set a trap next to an unsuspecting enemy. Mechanical spiders, spheres and a lone centurion live in the dungeon. Mage Orkendor - at the very end of the dungeon. Take the books and the key from him, take the elevator to the surface and return to Peryite.

To talk to him again, inhale the green smoke. The reward is the Spell Breaker shield, which in the "combat" position creates a ward spell.

Beyond the Ordinary (Hermaeus Mora)

We receive this task according to the plot, meeting with the scientist Septimius Segonius on his small island north of the College of Winterhold. But you can take the task just like that, if you visit him in the shelter and ask. For information on how to get to the Black Reach and what to do there, read the description of the Ancient Knowledge story quest. Solving the puzzle in the Mzark tower, we will get the Ancient Scroll and along the way fill the cube with knowledge.

When we return to the scientist and give him the filled cube, he will ask you to bring blood samples from an orc, dark elf, bosmer, high elf and falmer (you can get all the samples in Blackreach or in any other places). To get out of the cave of Septimius, you will have to talk with the Disgusting Abyss, that is, with the Daedra Lord himself.

Returning to the scientist, give him the blood. The path to the book of books will open - Ogma Infinium. She raises six skills at once by five points to choose from - magic, thieves or military. To learn, open the book and press the action key.

On the way back, talk to Hermaeus Mora.

Call of Boethiah (Boethiah)

The quest is activated only after the hero hits the thirtieth level. It can start with an unexpected attack, reading a book about Boethiah, or when the hero comes across a sanctuary (east of the Windhelm stables, on the very edge of the map), where Daedra worshipers fight in an impromptu arena.

Boethiah will offer to sacrifice a companion. If you don't mind (and if the companion isn't particularly dear to you), order him to approach the luminous pillar and perform the sacrifice.

The last task is to visit the bandit camp on the opposite side of Skyrim. Clear the cave and "demote" the former warrior of Boethiah. Put on his ebony chain mail and listen to the last instruction of the Daedric Lord.

The reward is the same ebonite mail. She makes her steps quieter, poisons enemies that get close to the hero, and looks very pretty, especially in stealth mode.

Call of the Moon (Hirsin)

The quest starts in Falkreath, if you talk to the inconsolable Mathieus - he can be found in the cemetery (a scene is played there) or in the tavern. He will tell us that his daughter was torn apart by the werewolf Sinding, who was caught and put away in the barracks. Look there (the quest can be started there as well).

Sinding admits that he is a werewolf, but states that the random and unpredictable transformations into a beast are a curse that Hircine, the patron saint of hunters, placed on the enchanted ring. He will offer us to settle things with Hircine ourselves and advise us to first kill the white deer in order to summon the Daedra Lord. After giving the ring, Sinding will turn into a beast and jump out of the barracks through the roof.

The deer grazes near the city - it is easy to find and shoot it.

Indeed, after the deer falls, Hircine will appear and say that he is very angry with Sinding for stealing the ring. The task is to find a sassy werewolf in the Drowned Grotto, kill and skin him.

Inside the cave we will find a slightly beaten group of hunters, the last of which will die after telling in general terms what happened ("The victim is stronger than the hunter. Kill him in the name of Hircine!"). But Sinding, sitting on a cliff a little further away, will offer a counter plan - to hunt hunters with him. If we still decide to kill Sinding, first he will arrange the slaughter of hunters - you can join the battle right away, kill the werewolf, remove the skin and accept the light Skin of the Savior (resistance to magic and poisons) as a reward from the ghostly Hircine.

If we take his side, the hunters will be stronger, and as a reward, at the exit from the cave, we will receive Hircine's ring cleared of the curse. It gives an additional transformation into a beast per day and is useless for non-werewolves.

A night to remember (Sanguine)

This quest differs from others in that it is not so easy to find it. The key character - Sam Geven - can appear in any tavern in Skyrim. But the task is simplified if you remember: Sam appears in the tavern that is closest to the hero when he reaches the fourteenth level - and he does not leave this tavern anywhere. Remember what you did at that “age”. If you still have old saves, look in them where your hero was at the moment when he "hit" 14.

A friendly booze with Sam (you guessed who it is?) will suddenly stop, and we will find ourselves in the Markarth temple of Dibella, where they will tell us about the wedding and the goat and offer to clean up the remnants of yesterday's debauchery. Cleaning can be avoided by persuasion or money.

Our next stop is Rorikstead. Farmer Ennis accuses us of kidnapping his goat Gleda, which has now gone to a giant named Grock. The goat must be returned - the giant, of course, will be against it.

The next lead is Whiterun and a certain Isolde, demanding the return of an engagement ring from the Witchmist Grove. You can avoid finding the ring by connecting money or persuasion. But it’s easier to go to the “bride”, the fortuneteller Moira, and take the ring from her by force. When the ring is returned to Iseult, we will receive the last tip - to the fortress of Morvunskar. There, a crowd of evil sorcerers and Sanguine himself are waiting for us.

The reward for the quest is Sanguine Rose, a staff that summons a Dremora to help us.

Shards of Past Glory (Mehrunes Dagon)

The quest begins with a leaflet that the courier will give us at the twentieth level. The owner of the Dawnstar Mythic Dawn Museum, Sil Vesul, wants to collect the Razor of Mehrunes, the legendary dagger of the past.

The razor is divided into three parts and is kept by three different characters:

• Jorgen of Morthal can be "persuaded" to give up the key to the house. The handle is in the chest.
• The head of Dagon's Razor is kept by the wiser Draskua in the large Forsworn camp (there we will also find a wall with the Word of Power).
• We take the key to the vault from the orc Gunzul in the orc fortress Cracked Tusk and, having gone down there, grab the fragments of the Razor (beware of traps).

After receiving the three parts and attaching the scabbard to them, Sil will offer to meet at the sanctuary of Dagon. It is better to climb there from the northern slopes of the cliff.

Mehrunes will offer us to kill Sil in order to become his hero and get the Razor (a dagger that gives a chance to instantly kill the enemy on impact), and Sil wants to get out and hide the Razor under museum glass. The choice is yours. Either way, there will be a fight. Do not forget to take the key from the Dremora and loot the sanctuary.

Cursed Tribe (Malacath)

The quest is available from the ninth level. We can either hear rumors of an orc stronghold in Riften or head straight for it.

The fortress of Lagashbur is located southwest of Riften, at the foot of the mountains, a little further than the Tower of Darkness. Help the orcs get rid of the giant. They will tell you that the tribe is cursed, and they will ask for two ingredients for the summoning ritual of Malacath: troll fat and Daedra heart. Fat is easy to get (from the same trolls, for example), but hearts are the rarest ingredient, and they fall from Dremora, which are very rare. To get the heart, do the Mehrunes Dagon quest or enter the College of Winterhold - there they can be found in Enthir's assortment.

After the ritual, Malacath will say that the tribe is suffering for the cowardice of the leader Yamarza, and will order to clear the cave with his sanctuary from the giants. The place we need is the Yellow Stone Cave, northeast of Riften. Yamarz will go there on foot, but it is better to go there on your own.

In the cave, the behavior of the orc leader will become quite comical. Yamarz will be terribly cowardly and persuade us to do all the dirty work for him. If the giants do not kill him, then at the sanctuary of Malacath he himself will attack us in order to get rid of the witness of his cowardice.

Take the hammer from the giant's body and return it to the tribe by placing it on the altar. It is now called Volengrang and absorbs the stamina. This is our reward.

Dawn Dawn (Meridia)

The quest begins when a strange-looking ball falls into our hands - the guiding star of Meridia. But he meets by chance, and you can look for him for a long time, so it’s more reliable to visit the statue itself. It rises above the road leading to Solitude (south of Wolfskull Cave, where Potema was summoned).

Meridia will show us where to look for the guiding star. Find it and, returning to the rock, put it on the altar and receive instructions from the Daedra mistress. We need to go to the Kilkreath dungeon (the entrance is right under the statue) and kill the necromancer Malkoran.

The dungeon is simple, but interesting, in the spirit of Indiana Jones. We need, by activating the pedestals with a chain, to send the beam sent by Meridia through all the catacombs, while opening the door behind the door. The battle with Malkoran will be about two stages - first with himself, then with his shadow.

Reward - Radiance of Dawn, a sword with a very unusual, although not very convenient effect: from time to time it not only kills the enemy, but turns him into ashes, and when the undead die, it gives area damage, which scares away the remaining undead.

The dog is a friend of the Daedra (Clavicus Vile)

There are rumors in Falkreath that the blacksmith Lod is looking for a certain dog. Go to Lod and get meat from him to lure the dog. We will find him, but suddenly it turns out that this is Barbas, the companion of the Daedra lord Clavicus Vile. Barbas ran away from him.

Barbas wants us to go to Heimar's cave and find the sanctuary of the former owner. There are many vampires inside the cave, so if you are not very confident in your abilities, let the dog go ahead. Clavicus, in turn, will demand that the Ax of Sorrow be returned to him in the Frost Cave. It's a small cave, and its only inhabitants are the mage and his fire atronach.

When we return the ax, Clavicus Vile will offer us to keep the ax for ourselves on one condition - we must kill Barbas. If we agree, we get an ax that damages the stamina. If we refuse, Barbas will join the owner on the pedestal, and we will grab a very useful Clavicus Vile mask that improves prices and eloquence.

Waking Nightmare (Vermina)

Something strange is happening in Dawnstar - all the inhabitants have the same nightmares at night. What's happening? The priest of Mara, the dark elf Erandur, knows this. He will tell you that heavy dreams are a sign of danger: their memories are being stolen by the Daedra princess Vermina. To save Dawnstar from trouble, he will lead us to the temple of the Nightcallers, from where evil comes.

There are bodies all over the temple. But they are not dead, but sleeping. The priests of Vaermina, unwilling to surrender to the invading orcs, released their magical miasma and put themselves to sleep along with them. To stop the dream and end Dawnstar's nightmares, the Skull of Corruption must be destroyed. How does Erandur know this? He used to be a priest of Vaermina, but escaped from the tower at the last moment.

An impenetrable barrier prevents you from reaching the Skull of Corruption. In the Library you will find the book "Dreamwalking", from which you will learn about the potion "Vermina's Apathy", which allows you to go into dreams and in this way move in space. Go find a potion. Along the way, eliminate the awakening inhabitants of the tower - they are all a little out of sorts while awake.

After drinking the potion, you can return to someone else's past, complete the task (pull the chain and release the miasma) and go back. You will find yourself on the opposite side of the barrier. Remove the soul stone from the pedestal to remove the barrier and let Erandur through.

It remains only to take part in the battle with his former colleagues and make the final choice - let Erandur destroy the Skull of Corruption or kill the priest at Vermina's instigation.

Staff Skull of Corruption is an interesting artifact (at least it scares the guards), but its effect is normal damage. The damage is increased if you recharge the Skull next to sleeping people.

Black Star (Azura)

Shrine of Azura, the only shrine with a normal-sized statue, is set high in the snowy mountains south of Winterhold. Rumors about him go around Skyrim, so it will quickly appear on the map.

In the sanctuary itself, the priestess Arania will immediately send us to Winterhold, in search of the high elf Nelakar. The elf lives in the Frozen Hearth tavern. He will tell you that his master Meilin Varen is conducting sinister experiments with the divine artifact, Azura's Star, trying to achieve immortality. Whether he succeeded or not, the artifact must be returned from the Ilinalta Depths dungeon.

After making your way through the hordes of necromancers, take the Star of Azura from the cold corpse of Meilin. There was only one question left - to whom to return it? If we return the artifact to Azura, we will be rewarded with a regular reusable container of souls for any size. If we return Nelakara, we will get the Black Star - an artifact for the souls of sentient beings. Since all intelligent souls are Great, the second is clearly more profitable.

However, before you can use the Star, you will have to endure a very difficult battle with Meilin and his Dremora hiding in it. Dremora are very dangerous guys, especially at early levels, and you won’t have any companions inside the artifact, so arm yourself to the teeth, stock up on “first aid kits” and fire protection.

Detailed walkthrough

Dark Ancestor

After completing the quest Small theft when you find the missing personal letter for Dengeir, he will trust you enough to entrust you with a very important and personal matter, causing him great concern and embarrassment, since his ancestor Vighar was in fact once a vampire. For many years, Vighar was magically bound in his grave, but over time, the magical powers weakened and allowed him to escape. During a conversation with him, he will embarrassingly entrust you with a family secret:

However, Dengeir does not want to return his ancestor to the grave, but simply wants to destroy Vighar.

Dengeir will also tell you that he tracked down his vampire lair. Blood Throne and wants you to go there and destroy him before anyone discovers this disgrace to his family.

Blood Throne

The Throne of Blood is a military fort hidden in the mountains southwest of Helgen. Get to Helgen and follow the road heading south. Keep an eye on the marker on the map and make sure you turn the right way around corners; never deviate from the road as this will lead directly to the fort. From the outside, the fort is unguarded, so you can easily climb the stairs and enter inside.

Once inside, you will be greeted by the sounds of howling wolves along with a trap stove that sets off a fire trap right in front of the entrance. Use stealth mode and go forward. Soon you will meet two leveled vampires; win the battle and go down the stairs to the big hall. Move east and fight another vampire who will feast on severed hands in the dining room. Next, move through the snow tunnel, which will lead you to another huge hall with a large wooden structure and more vampires, along with wolves. Climb the wooden stairs to the top, there you can use, if necessary, the Pentagram of Souls, and in the next tunnel the Alchemy Lab. Then explore the bedroom and collect some loot, in the same place you can go to the next room, where there will be a book of skills on the table Incident at Necrom Illusion and a random enchanted dagger. Head to the snow tunnel heading south and cross the bridge that will lead you to the last room, Vighar's lair.

And last...

Vighar chose his lair in the farthest hall of the fort. Entering this hall, you will find yourself in a room resembling an arena. On the sides of the hall there will be several cells, with hungry and angry wolves. In the farthest place from the entrance, the vampire Vighar will sit on a high pedestal and talk with one of the inhabitants of the fort:
Vampire: "And who is this?"
Vighar: "Doesn't matter, this fool will be the next number on the program."

With these words, Vighar will pull the handle of the lever located next to him and at the same moment several wolves will be released from their cages. He will watch coldly while you fight them. As soon as you manage to kill them, Vighar himself will jump down and attack, reinforced with his henchmen. When it's all over, find the chain in the western niche and pull it up in order to climb up. Follow the nearby chest and take some good loot, remove the bolt on the door, and get access to the initial huge hall. Exit the fort and return to Dengeir for your reward.

Note

• Vighar is a very powerful vampire, on par with the Master Vampire or Volkihar Master Vampire. It will replace the normal boss at the end of the dungeon.
• This quest will become unavailable if Dengeir becomes the Jarl of Falkreath.
• If you have Dawnguard installed, statues of three hostile gargoyles will appear in the Bloody Throne and the dire wolves will be replaced by Deathhounds.

Bugs

• Dawnguard can only add gargoyles and will not change wolves to deathhounds.
• At times, even if the quest has been started, Vighar may not appear. Instead, the dungeon's final boss could be a random high-level vampire who is supposed to be there if the mission didn't work. Such a replacement will prevent the quest from being successfully completed, although Dengeir will act the same as if you killed his ancestor and won't notice the difference.

Quest stages

• The following empty quest steps were not listed in the table:
  • FreeformFalkreathQuest03: 0, 10.
  • FreeformFalkreathQuest03B: 0, 20.

Notes

• Any text in angle brackets (for example, ) is a parameter set by the Radiant Quest engine that will be set to a value when the quest is received.
• Not all of these entries may appear in the game log: which entries appear and which do not - depends on how the task is performed.
• Stages are not always listed in order of completion. This tends to happen with tasks that have multiple possible outcomes, or where certain tasks can be performed in an arbitrary order.
• If the entry is marked as " Completion of the task", this means that the job is removed from the active list, but new stage entries for this job may continue to be added to the log.
• When playing on a personal computer, you can use the console to advance through the task by entering the setstage (((ID))) stage command into it, where quest is the in-game task ID, and stage is the stage number to go to. However, it is not possible to proceed to uncompleted (i.e., skipped) quest stages. However, using the resetquest (((ID))) console command, you can reset the quest stage.

Your first goal is to find the priest's knife (Moth Priest's draw knife), its location is indicated on the map. We go to a place called Ancestral Meadow ( orig. Ancestor Glade). The fastest way for those who have already explored Skyrim well is to travel to Helgen and then through Falkreath to the cave we need. On the way you will meet the Guardians of the Dawn and small groups of bandits.

Glade of ancestors

Elder Scroll

No matter how trivial it is, but the whole plot is tied to prophecy. It so happened that the events preceding and occurring at the time of the appearance of the main character in the world Skyrim, almost completely coincide with this very prophecy. The latter says that the greatest of dragons will soon appear - Alduin, after which all those who were not lucky enough to be born a dragon will have to become dead, and in general, a pitch-black Armazdian will come.

Concerning events proving the entry into force of the prophecy, then this is nothing more than Civil War that began between the Empire and the Stormcloaks. So call themselves all driven Ulfric Stormcloak, who by the way killed the previous king of Skyrim - Toruga. After that, full-scale hostilities began between these two factions.

An introductory course on quests and working with the Skyrim magazine

In the fifth part of the scrolls, the mechanics of the journal and the passage of quests were slightly rendered, that is, they were made simpler and more understandable for a larger number of the public. It has become quite easy to work with tasks that even a child can handle, with the exception, perhaps, of a couple of three quests. All you need is open magazine ("J" key default), then click on the right task and close this interface.

After these manipulations top of the screen, where the icons of the cardinal directions and the nearest settlements, including dungeons, are displayed, you will see marker in the form of a triangle with a rhombus at the top. This is the direction in which you need to move in order to complete the selected quest. You will see the same marker when you open the map ( "M" key default). It is worth noting that when choosing in the journal multiple tasks, you will also get several markers, which is not so convenient in some cases.

Passage of quests

During passing main questline you will go from simple prisoner before savior of the world, destroy more than a dozen dragons, and also get one of them as a means of transportation. In general, a series of games The Elder Scrolls one gets the impression that in order to save the world, it is necessary to be a prisoner, but oh well.

Skyrim has difficulty level adjustment, which you can find in the game settings.

Quest "Freedom!" - Acquaintance with the harsh Skyrim

The action of the game starts in a wagon where you are with others prisoners Imperials. From the dialogue with fellow sufferers, you will learn that you are being taken straight on the chopping block. What, any control functions are not yet available, except for the rotation of the camera, so you have no choice but to look around and enjoy the beauties of the game.

After arriving at the place of execution, one of the Imperials will contact you, the dialogue with which will turn into character Creation. The editor presents quite a few options for choosing the appearance Main character(heroines), so you can hang out here for a long time. Having decided on the appearance of the savior of the world, you are invited to go straight to the chopping block, then all the attempts to create a character would crumble under the executioner's ax, but by a funny coincidence, the Protagonist is saved from inevitable death by a suddenly appeared the Dragon.

So the timely arrived reptile begins destroy the village, after which, of course, it is no longer up to the execution of prisoners. Taking advantage of the turmoil, you need to leave this place that is not friendly to the Hero. There is nothing complicated here, for starters, just follow the character with marker overhead to the nearest tower. Continue up the stairs, and then jump over to the nearest building through the hole in the wall made by the dragon. At the exit from this building you will meet an already familiar Imperial soldier, you should not immediately run wherever your eyes look, wait out the dragon's attack and follow the imperial.

After a short flight from the dragon's attacks, you will have the choice to go to the tower for Hogwarts(Imperial soldier), or Ralof(Brother Storm).
