Detailed Walkthrough

The Sarcastic Toy

Speak to Sheogorath, who is pleased at your success in Xedilian and grants you the Lesser Power Summon Haskill. He insists you use the lesser power at least twice before he will assign you another task.

After you have humored Sheogorath and summoned Haskill, he will give you your next task: understanding madness. You are to speak with both the Duke of Mania, Thadon, and the Duchess of Dementia, Syl, in order to join both Courts and gain a steady background knowledge about the inner workings of Sheogorath's realm.

• Speaking with Thadon initiates the quest Addiction.
• Speaking with Syl initiates the quest The Lady of Paranoia.

Complete both quests and report your success to Sheogorath to receive your next task.

Notes

• Haskill is not a fighter and will instead assist you by offering advice based on his extensive knowledge of the Shivering Isles. Continuing to summon him in the palace will cause Haskill to reply with many humorous remarks, ending with "That's enough. Really."
• Ficheiro:Xbox360.png An achievement will be unlocked upon completing both tasks.

Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry

Notes

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• Ficheiro:Pc22.png It is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage SE04Shell stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
