Magic, gods, portals, factions you name it and this game has it (even glitches!). The game takes place in a place Called Cyrodiil , the capitol province of Tamirel. You will start your journey in a prison cell. In this time you will have the opportunity to pick your race gender and Appearance. A man with two bodyguards, he is the emperor who is on the run from local assigns . They will enter your cell and reveal a secret passage in your cell. Follow the group in to the next room where you will be attacked by the first wave of mythnic dawn followers Stand back as you do not have any weapons or protection and try not to attract the attackers attention as they will attack. It will be declared that one of the blades has fallen, search her body and and pick up her sword and armour and any other misc she may have, then follow on and in the next room you will arrive at a gate although the blades can go through you can’t. instead look to the right and you will see an opening in the wall there you will exit. When you have got in to the next room you are on to the next part of the tutorial where you will learn how to cast Spells, picking locks and using different weapons. Just follow the path around the tight areas watch out for rats and goblins who lurk around these parts. Then you will arrive in the main parts of the prison then you will meet up with the emperor and the blades once again. They come under attack if you choose to fight do so, once these have been dealt with go and speak to the emperor Again, he will let you choose your birth sign. Once you have made your decision follow along with the group to the destination planned stay with the emperor so He doesn’t get attacked. He will speak to you once more and hand you the amulate of kings, the assigns invade the room and kill the emperor. This is all part of events and you cannot change that so don’t bother trying. Kill the attacker and go speak to Baurus the body guard and he will set you along with your next quest. Get out of the Jail and you will find your self in the sewers kill any rats or goblins who attack and you will reach the exit of the sewers. Now will be a good time to save the game which saves you having to start all over if you die. ********* Amulet of kings You will find yourself outside in possession of the amulet of the kings, the only thing holding the Daedra back. Speaking to Baurus gets you on coarse to Weynon Priory. You must deliver the Amulet to grandmaster of The blades Jauffre. This is one of those places that you can fast travel without visiting there =). You will see the priory on the left Which is a big building with a few small buildings located round the building. Enter the big building that is your Destination, speak to the monk who addresses you and find out some things about the assination of the king. Talk to Jauffre the grandmaster of the blades the reason you’re here in hidden on the second floor he will Stock you up with supplies but mainly he will address Martin as the only remaining heir of the throne and That will be your next mission to find Martin.Jauffre will ask you to go to Kvatch which has been attacked by the Daedra you have to save martin. ********* Martin and Kvatch So ride on your horse to Kvach and as you get to the slope people will start fleeing the city when you reach The top you will see your first Oblivion gate. You will approach a barricade and some men holding the position Speak to Capitan Savlain Matius to find out in detail about the attack on Kvatch.He will tell you Martin was stuck Inside the city in the chapel. So now you have to close the Oblivion gate by entering. When inside you will have to fight Daedra.The sky is red and there is lava around the plane you are on. To the left and right you will see two towers The left has no importance the right one you will have to visit to get the key from the prisoner. Once you have the key you will have to make your way to the Main Citadel (the big building) killing enemies on the way. Fight your way to the sigil stone keep, when you reach the top all you have to do is activate the stone holding the gate open. You will be spat out where you entered, after these events go and speak to Capitan savlian he will thank you then ask you to help him “break the siege of Kvatch” naturally you will say yes. Follow the troops in to Kvatch through the big gates. Once inside you will notice the town has literally fallen to pieces, Fight and kill the Daedra then enter the chapel and talk to martin. He will accompany you to Weynon Priory just fast travel There, quest completed. ********* Cloud ruler temple. When you arrive Eronor will come running to you and will hurriedly explain what happened, Weynon priory under assault By the Mythnic dawn. Kill all of the attackers and try to make sure no important people die as you will need them later on. Enter the priory and save Jauffre from the assigns. Once you saved Jauffre follow him to find the Amulet of kings gone! Jauffre will tell you about the Cloud ruler temple where You will have to fast travel to. This is the secret base of the blades, which is just north of Bruma. When you arrive once again Go and speak to Jauffre and he will make you a member of the blades. This will give you access to some good armour and weapons inside the temple.^_^ Martin will seem to be a bit nervous and Explains to you the next Quest. ********* Mysterium Xarxes Jauffre will send you to the Imperial city to check up on Baurus, the bodyguard who helped you out at the beginning of the game. Fast travel to the Elven gardens district and go to Luthers boarding house, you will see Baurus sitting down at the bar. He will Instruct you to sit down next to him and he will tell you that he thinks the man reading the book behind him is following him. He Following instructions wait until he gets up and then see what the other guy dose then follow the other guy. Once in the basement kill him making sure Baurus doesn’t die. Speak to him to find out the spy is part of the Mythnic dawn colt. Baurus suggests you use the book you find on the attackers body by taking it to Tar-Meena, she’s usually found in the lobby of the Arch mages tower. Speak to her and she will tell you that you need all four books to figure out the next clue. She sends you to first edition bookstore In the Imperial city. Fast travel to the Market district and enter the book store speak to the shopkeeper to learn there is another Buyer. All you have to do is max his deposition as far as you can and he will make you an offer of 100 gold for the book accept This and that’s the third book in your possession. You could also talk to the buyer (gwinas) and explain the situation and he will Give you the book. When you have both of the books go and speak to Baurus (standing outside the boarding house) and he will take you to a meeting Right away. Be prepared, as you will have to face 3 more assassins kill them. Let him lead you to the sewers and kill all rats you get attacked by, you will reach a room Baurus will stop outside and then ask you If you want to go in to the meeting room or if you want to be back up. I suggest you go in and face him your self, as you will have more time to attack him before he gets his armour. If you chose to go in sit on the seat and wait for the guy to come. When he shows wait while he talks to you then he will attack kill Him and his men then if you search his body you will find the fourth and final book of the series. Baurus will leave you to go to cloud ruler temple and so you will be on your own. Get out of the sewers and go speak to Tar-meena 4 times on 4 different days and she will tell you all the clues. If you don’t want to wait Too long just take the first letter from each paragraph and write it down it should read: Green emperor way where tower touches midday sun. Speed travel to Green emperor way and wait till noon (press back button to wait) and look at the pillar and a map should shine from the Rock, activate it and this will set you on course for your next quest. NOTE you don’t have to go back to Jauffre. ********* Mehrunes Dagon shrine You go here to recover the amulet of kings. So here we go again follow the marker on your map, just fast travel to Cheydinhal and travel Up the slope. When your inside the gatekeeper will speak to you as if you were a member he thinks you are a member of the faction and Takes you to the shrine. He will take all the weapons and gold off you. Follow him to the shrine and listen to the speech from Mancar Cameron. When he is finished his speech he will go the his “paradise” here you can sneak in to the shadows and the gate keeper will follow pickpocket him and get your best 3 weapons back. when he is gone you will be asked to kill the sacrifice lying on the Alter you Can decide to kill him or save him ( I recommend you save him how would you feel if that was you in the position) once done take the book then kill all the people who attack you. Once done fight your way out of the place you cant go the way you came in go to the left exit. Once outside take the book to Cloud ruler temple, tell Martin and finish the Quest. ********* Spies Good news an easy quest yey!! Go speak to Jauffre and he will inform you that he believes the temple is being spied upon and he is sending You to go and investigate. He will send you to go and speak with either captain Stteffan or Captain Burd. Steffan is located at the temple and captain Burd is located In Bruma and find out what they know. Burd is the quickest option as he leads you straight to the spies. When you talk to Burd he will inform you there is something unusual going on with Jearl as she took a recent trip south. Go to Jearls house And pick the lock to enter the house (make sure you don’t get seen by any guards) and you will see jearl and another spy in the basement kill them and take the orders back to Jauffre quest done! See easy. ********* Daedric artefact Speak to Martin and he will inform you that he needs four items and using them you will be able to enter the paradise of Cameron and Eventually recover the Amulet of kings by killing Cameron. On the top of the list is a daedric artefact, azuras star. Go to azuras shrine (if you read the book “ modern heretics” lying on Martins table It will put a map marker on and all you have to do is travel there. While you travel there kill one of the will-the-wisp you may see and take The remains and when you reach the shrine offer it at noon to azura. She will then speak to you and tell you she wants you to kill five vampires Travel southeast to the gutted mine and enter it when you walk down the passageway kill the vampires you encounter ( try not to get hit by Them as you might contract “ the vampire disease”) kill all five and report back to azura. She will give the star. Go back to Cloud ruler temple To finish the active quest. ********* Teaching Burd the ropes You will be able to decide which quest you can do next talking to Martin will let you know you need the armour of Tiber Septim. If you speak To Jauffre he will let you know that an Oblivion gate has opened outside Bruma. We will cover Jauffre’s quest here as it is quicker. When you travel to Bruma you will find Captain Burd and some men standing outside an oblivion gate your mission is not only to close the gate But also show Burd and the other men how it’s done. So you and the men should travel through the gate by activating it. Once inside be prepared to face some real heavy resistance, but with the help Of the men this will be a little easier. Once again you find yourself in this position. Go to the main tower where the signel stone lies killing any of The enemy you encounter. Enter the tower and again just like Kvatch fight your way up the levels but this time make sure you avoid the spikes and other traps. Touch the Signel stone and close the gate. Report back to Jauffre quest complete! ********* Armour of Tiber septim In this mission you are sent to a shrine to retrieve the armour of Tiber septim to get his blood off from battle so it can be used in a spell. The armour Is located in a place called Sancre Tor, a shrine built just north of Chorrol and south west of Bruma. Note make sure you have a magic or silver weapon because you will encounter ghosts and wraths. Once you reach this location go inside in the first Hall, fight your way past the zombies and undead until you reach a platform. You will see an undead warrior with an old rusty helmet. Be sure to kill This and a ghost will emerge it is a ghost of an ancient blade warrior and that you will have to save the other 3 to deactivate the spell holding the Armour. The other 3 blades will be marked on your map find them, kill them and save them. When you get to the room where the spell is holding you back You will see the four blades kneeling wait a while than the spell will be deactivated, collect the armour then travel back to Cloud ruler temple, to Finish the quest. ********* The great Welkynd stone. To find this item will require you to travel to Ayleid ruin the last one. It’s called Miscarcand and is located to the northeast of Kvatch. Travel there And the layout is pretty basic, from the entrance follow the path so you can go either left or right, take a right then a left beyond the staircase to The left is the switch. Go back to the staircase and head right and go back. Follow the path and over the bridge and there is the gate to the second level. Again follow The path until you arrive at a large hall. Firstly go to the south end and activate the button to get the other gate out of your way. Now head north to the door leading to Morimath and the great stone. Yet let the path lead the way to another large room and in the centre lies The great stone. Walk around the platform until you start heading up. Take the stone and you will be attacked kill these foolish people and zombies. Go back outside and fast travel back to Cloud ruler temple and report back to martin to complete the quest. ********* Defence of Bruma. If you are lazy you could almost skip this quest but it is not recommended that you do, as the extra help will become invaluable when you need It most. The basic story line is that gates keep popping up in Bruma and you need to send aid there by asking around the other cities. Each count or countess will inform you that there is an Oblivion gate outside the city and they cannot spare any men. All you have to do is close The gates outside each city to get the men. Don’t bother with the imperial city, as they will not give you men no matter what. Once done report back. NOTE you don’t have to close all gates about 5 will be enough. ********* Camoran’s Paradise After speaking to you Martin will open a portal to Camoran’s paradise (hence the name) he will ask you to travel there and kill the madman Make sure you’re stocked up on supplies then go through the portal. When it opens you will find your self in a perfect place. Your goal lies east Following the path will lead you to a bridge and you will see a person called xivili in front of you and the bridge. Talk to him and he will Tell you that you need something to enter the next part of the place and explains that if you do something he will hand over the bands. An alternative is that you just kill him and that is what I recommend you do, as it is more straight forward. Once you have the bands put them on then enter the cave across the bridge. Follow the path here and enter the door that has “ forbidden grotto2 Marked on it. You will find yourself in a dungeon where people are being tortured. Enter the second room and you will find a former follower of Cameron who wants to help you. Agree and he will lead you on the way and get You past the daremora there. He will shun you into a cage as a guard comes (its not a trap so go along with it). You will start to be lowered to the lave but you don’t actually Go in as he keeps his word. Head south to the exit. Once there follow the path south then north then you will come across an xivilai mandrake Kill this to obtain the key. By now your bands have been removed and you will be able to exit the grotto as normal. Once outside Cameron can be found a little Northeast of your position in his mansion where you will be greeted by his two children who will not cause you no harm … yet. When you are inside you will find Cameron standing in front of his throne, he will speak to you for a while then will attack you Go straight for him and kill him, as his children will just respawn once you’ve killed them. Once he is dead you will automatically receive the amulet of kings and will be back at Cloud ruler temple. ********* The Dragon fires When you’re back at Cloud ruler temple speak to martin and here the next plot getting to the Imperial city and lighting the dragon fires. Speed travel to the palace district and speak with the chancellor to learn the city is under attack the king of daedra Dagon. Two mythnic Dawn assassins enter the chamber kill these. Go speak to martin to learn that you are going to use the Amulet of kings to defeat Dagon. You have to accompany him to the temple of The one and he’ll do the rest. Take him through the city killing all enemies who attack and making sure Martin stayes in tact when, you reach the temple you will face Dagon. Hit him enough so he staggers back. Run past with Martin and enter the temple of the one speak to him one last time and he will break the Amulet and turn into a dragon And just sit back and watch the story unfold. And that is your duty done I hope this guide helped!! ******************** ****************** ******* ***** ****** ***** ****** ***** ***** ***** ***** * **** **** *** **** **** *** **** *** * **** *** **** ** *** ** *** ** *** ** *** ** *** * ** ** *
