Detailed Walkthrough
Soon after you find the Wayrest painting for Queen Akorithi of Sentinel, you will receive an interesting letter:
- Dear (player's name),
- Queen Akorithi of Sentinel spoke highly of you as a
- brave, able, and unprejudiced (player race). Her actual
- words were 'a hero.' For some time, we have been
- looking for someone like that.
- I will not lie to you about our loyalties. We
- serve the Underking. If you are a believer in fairy
- tales and consider the Underking the ultimate force of
- evil, we apologize for misjudging you. Otherwise, we
- need your help. You can find me at (building)
- of (town) in Sentinel. I will wait one month.
- -- (agent's name)
Travel to the specified rendezvous point and speak with the agent, who will greet you:
- Good day, (player's name). My name is
- (agent's name). I must admit that
- I am surprised to see you. Are you perhaps
- able to help the Underking in an endeavor
- against the Necromancers? We will reward
- you liberally for this service, and provide
- information you will probably not be able
- to find elsewhere.
Agree to help the agent, and he/she will reply:
- You will. Hmm. Remarkable. The Necromancers
- have taken an item of ours, a (magical item)
- of some value. The value is of secondary
- concern. The true problem is that they cursed
- this item and gave it to the Blades. If you
- are unaware, the Blades were once the honor
- guard for Tiber Septim. Today they are loyal
- to the empire and Tiber's code, but not
- always to the current emperor. The Underking
- has reason to not wish harm upon the Blades.
- We want you to infiltrate Castle Llugwych
- in Ykalon and remove the (magical item).
- Please have this done in (time limit) days if
- you want your information and reward.
Finding the Item
From the entrance, head west into the dining hall. Kill the enemies in this room and go through the west door. Go up the hallway and through the door to the west.
Head south up the hallway, turn west, and go through the door. Leave through the door on the west side of the room and continue west past the intersection in the next hallway. Keep following the hallway south until you reach the door at the end.
Leave the small room through the eastern door. Walk up the hallway and turn south at the intersection. Continue heading south until you see a door on your left.
From the door, either continue south and head east at the intersection or go through the room and exit through the door on the south side. Either way, continue on this hallway and through the door at the end.
Follow the new hallway to the end and go east through the door. Enter the first room on your right in this new hallway and leave through the south door. You will arrive at an inactive elevator platform. To unlock the elevator, head east from the shaft and pull lever 1 in the tiny room. This will unlock a door to another room, where you must pull lever 2. Go back to the elevator and ride it up.
After stepping off the elevator, turn east at the junction. There is a vampire ancient in the next hallway. If you do not have any means of resisting shock damage and paralysis, your only chance is to run past it. In the room beyond is a pedestal with the enchanted item on top. If you did not kill the vampire ancient, grab the item quickly and run out the way you came immediately. Otherwise, you can take your time gathering the other treasures in the room. Backtrack to the castle's entrance the same way you came in.
Quest Completion
Return the item to the agent of the Underking and he/she will say:
- Well done, (player's name). Let me cast
- this spell upon the (magical item)
- ... there. The (magical item) is now
- safe and yours to keep.
- Not even death can hide a true descendant
- of Tiber Septim from the Underking. King
- Lysandus did not die in the battle of
- Cryngaine. He was slain by treachery before
- it. The monument to him in Hammerfell is an
- empty tomb. His remains were secretly
- taken to an ancient tomb in Menevia, which
- I will now reveal to you. I do not know
- who betrayed Lysandus, nor why his spirit
- haunts the city of Daggerfall and not the
- battlefield of Cryngaine. I have kept my
- part of the bargain, and you have earned
- the gratitude of the Underking.
