How to complete the quest Call of Boethiah. Walkthrough: Call of Boethiah Skyrim

List of artifacts.

Full list Daedric artifacts include 17 items, but one character can only have 15 artifacts at a time. This is because some items represent alternate rewards for the same quest depending on how you complete it. Thus, the possession of the Azura Star and the Black Star, as well as the Ring of Hircine and the Skin of the Savior, are mutually exclusive.

It is important: There are several items that appear in quests related to the Daedric Princes, but are not counted in the character's statistics as Daedric artifacts and do not affect the achievement of the corresponding achievements.

*Ax of Sorrow(unlike the Mask of Clavicus Vile, another possible reward for the Clavicus Vile quest);
*Skeleton Key, elements of the Nightingale armor and weapons (Nightingale Blessings), associated with the Daedra Nocturnal.

It is a myth: Most players carry Daedric artifacts in their inventory, thinking this is the only way to get the achievement, but they take up a lot of weight in their backpack and suffer from it. The main thing is to complete the task of the Daedra and receive this artifact in a backpack, these trophies can be placed in a chest. Continuing to complete other tasks from the Daedra with a half-empty lightweight inventory.

Description

If while reading your blood boils in your veins and your mind is on fire, Boethiah will call you. It is prudent to heed Her call. Find Her on the mountain overlooking Windhelm. Meet us there and be tested
— "The Trials of Boethiah"

The quest is only available after the character reaches level thirty. Starts after discovering the Sanctuary of Boethiah or reading the book “The Trials of Boethiah”. The book can be found at the post of Septimius Segonius, in Hoba's cave on a shelf in the cabinet in the hall with the pentagram of souls, or in an abandoned house in Markarth during the Molag Bal quest. It is also possible that Dovahkiin will simply be attacked by a fanatic of Boethiah immediately after reaching level thirty - a book can also be found on his corpse.

Chapel of Boethiah on the Skyrim map

The Chapel of Boethiah is located in the mountains east of Windhelm. The easiest way to find it is to follow the road east from the stables, past all three Windhelm farms - Brandy Mug, Hlaalu Farm and Holly Farm. After the third farm, you need to go a little more east and turn towards the mountain, from the foot of which there is a path leading up to the chapel. There may be several ice trolls along the way.

It should be noted that next to the chapel eternal night. Even as you climb up the mountain, the day will quickly fade. Around the sanctuary, which is a large statue of Boethiah with a sacrificial column next to it, there is a camp of Daedra worshipers. The camp consists of several huts with sleeping bags, a small fighting arena surrounded by stakes and a priestess's dwelling, where you can find an alchemical laboratory and a pentagram of souls.

Note: near one of the huts you can find three vials of skooma.

In the arena, Boethiah's fans, trying to please the Daedra Prince, stage deadly duels. The priestess is also there. If Dovahkiin has already reached level 30, she will come up and start a dialogue.

During the conversation, it becomes clear: in order to attract the attention of the Prince of Intrigue, it is necessary to carry out a ritual of sacrifice. As a sacrifice, it is necessary to lure to the sanctuary someone who completely trusts the Dragonborn - a friend or a mercenary. To carry out the ritual, the priestess will give out a special sacrificial blade.

Here the question arises about potential candidates for victims. There are few options; any mortal companion is suitable as a sacrifice, except for summoned creatures, raised corpses, horses or dogs.

Together with his companion, Dovahkiin will have to go up to the statue and order him, using the orders menu, to activate the sacrificial column, after which the companion will be pulled to the column and immobilized. Upon completion of the sacrifice, Boethiah will enter the body of the victim and speak to Dovahkiin through him. Dialogue can be conducted in different ways: obsequious or impudent - it doesn’t matter. Everything will lead to Boethiah organizing a tournament among all his fans, including the main character. The survivor will receive further instructions.

You need to be prepared for a brutal meat grinder “all against all.” There are at least five cultists in total; they are good fighters and use various attack options - both magic and melee weapons.

After destroying the last fanatic, Boethiah will again inhabit the nearest body and inform that the hero is now worthy of the title of Boethiah's Warrior. But there is a nuance: at the moment the title is occupied, and in order to assume the rights, the Dragonborn will have to destroy the previous champion, who no longer meets the requirements of the Daedric Prince.

This subject is hiding in a place called Knife's Edge Ridge, being the leader of a large gang of bandits. Boethiah asks to eliminate not only him, but his entire gang and, if possible, to do it unnoticed.

Note: if you look into Knife's Edge Ridge before the start of the quest, there will be simple bandits there. Even if you kill them all, new opponents will appear during the quest. At the same time, the corpses of previous opponents will not go anywhere.

Knife's Edge Ridge is located northwest of Falkreath and is a large camp settlement with a mine in its depths. There is everything necessary for a full-fledged life in a small community. The camp itself is located on a hill, surrounded by a palisade and well guarded.

Note: in the camp, on the table next to the forge, you can find the textbook “Vernaccus and Burlor” (“Shooting”).

There are eight bandits in total in the camp. Six more, including Boethiah's Warrior, are in the mine. Here, in addition to the high level of the “Stealth” skill, the spell of the “Illusion” school “Invisibility”, a high level of the “Alchemy” skill and the “Poison Carrier” ability of the “Pickpocket” skill will come in handy. If the mentioned skills are high, and the abilities and spells are present, then fulfilling Boethiah’s condition to secretly kill all gang members will not be difficult.

After the last member of the gang dies, the Ebony Chain Mail will need to be removed from the leader’s body. Boethiah will speak to Dovahkiin again. She will declare the hero the new champion and the task will be completed.

And remember: “Everything will be the way you want it.”
— Boethiah's parting words to Dovahkiin

  • Only mortal characters are suitable for Boethiah's sacrifice. Assassins Dark Brotherhood, available as followers after completion storyline Brotherhoods or, for example, Companions are not suitable. The exception is Aela the Huntress.
  • It must be remembered that if a friend is sacrificed (for example, the drunkard Kosnach from Markarth), then a fine of 1000 septims will be assessed in the corresponding possession. However, if the victim does not see who is killing him, then no fine will be charged, so it is better to do this in stealth mode. Also, a fine can be assessed if a companion is killed again in the arena. Therefore, it is better to wait until Boethiah’s fans kill each other.
  • The best candidates for sacrifice for the ritual are Adelaisa Vendicci, who only has well-developed non-combat skills; Among the male companions, we can recommend Roggy Beard Knot, who is also deprived of combat skills. Both Adelaise and Roggi live near the Chapel of Boethiah. The first is in the office of the Eastern Imperial Company in Windhelm, the second is in Kin Grove. However, if you use mercenaries for the sacrifice (for example, Jenassa), then the penalty will not be assigned.
  • It is not at all necessary to perform the ritual with the help of a sacrificial blade. Any method will do for this.
  • The most correct way to perform the sacrifice ritual would be to use the Ebony Blade, which would help complete part of the quest of another Daedric Prince - Mephala.
  • If it’s difficult to defeat Boethiah’s fans in a tournament, then you can change the sequence of actions: first kill the cultists, and only then sacrifice someone.
  • During the tournament, everyone fights against each other. If the Stealth skill is sufficiently developed, you can hide near the arena and wait for the fanatics to kill each other. After that, all that remains is to finish off the winner.
  • At high levels, it is worth leaving Dovahkiin's horse away from the fighting arena. Rushing into the thick of battle, she is likely to be quickly killed.
  • You can immediately kill the entire cult and after that Boethiah will appear to the Dragonborn and instruct him to bring the victim to the altar. It is very convenient to destroy cultists from the side of the rocks with a bow - they cannot climb there.
  • According to the entry in the journal, three bandits, including the leader in the Knife's Edge Ridge location, must be killed secretly, as Boethiah commands, but in reality the method of murder does not matter.

Nakhodki

  • Ebony Chainmail;
  • Sacrificial blade (6-8 pieces), including specimens from the bodies of Boethiah's worshipers;
  • Skooma - 3 pcs;
  • Textbook "Vernaccus and Burlor" - in the Knife's Edge Ridge camp, on the table next to the forge.

Bugs

  • If a spouse was chosen as a victim, then Dovahkiin may not be able to marry another character.
  • Boethiah in the victim's body does not initiate dialogue about the tournament. You can't talk to her followers either. There is only one solution - just attack them.
  • Sometimes it happens that after the death of the last remaining admirer of Boethiah, there will be a target marker on the stairs that needs to be killed, and nothing can be done. Even the killall code, which, in theory, should kill everyone in the location, does not help.
  • At the end of the tournament, Boethiah does not inhabit the body of one of the followers. Accordingly, there should be no dialogue with her. The marker points to the corpse and nothing happens.
    • Solution: loading an autosave and initially killing all followers followed by sacrificing a companion.
  • If, after finishing the dialogue with Boethiah, you immediately perform fast travel to another place, the image will remain the same as when talking with her - wild colors, tunnel vision.
    • Solution: loading autosave and waiting for the special effects to disappear after the conversation. Second method: after completing the task, learn any word of power.
  • If you resurrect a victim companion using the resurrect console command, then communicating with him will only trigger Boethiah's dialogue. After completing the quest, the companion will be found at home (or in the tavern), alive and well. After patch 1.4, resurrection triggers the normal dialogue for that character. One caveat: you need to kill in stealth mode so that the victim does not see the killer, otherwise after resurrection the companion will be aggressive.
  • If you raise the alarm in the Knife's Edge Ridge location in a cave next to the house, then everyone, including the Warrior of Boethiah, will look for Dovahkiin. At the same time, his chain mail will quite possibly cause damage to members of the gang. The bandits will begin to fight with the Warrior, as a result of which they will be killed.
  • If you try to kill all the fans on the way to the camp, ordering your companion to wait before doing so, a bug may occur in which all the fans die, except for those fighting in the arena. Two competitors will be invulnerable to arrows and weapons and will ignore what is happening around them, and the companion will stop engaging in dialogue and will make endless attempts to attack invulnerable rivals.
  • If the character was wearing a full set of ebony armor before equipping the Ebony Mail, then there is a chance that the dialogue with Boethiah will occur without the visual effects that would normally accompany it. But after the end of the dialogue, the effect will appear and will never disappear.
    • Solution: load an earlier save and remove all pieces of ebony armor from the character before equipping the Ebony Mail.
  • In some cases, the quest cannot be started - reading the book will have no effect.
    • Solution PC : type the commands in the console:
      • startquest DA02
      • SetStage DA02 1
      • SetObjectiveCompleted DA02 1 1
  • When resurrecting a fallen Warrior Boethiah with the Dead Thrall spell, you can get an infinite amount Ebony Chainmail. The procedure is described in detail here. One subtlety - you can resurrect the Warrior only after completing the task.
Note: when loading autosave at the beginning new location, the thrall sometimes lags behind the entrance and does not follow the character.
Solution:

“Call of Boethiah” is one of side quests V game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which is directly related to the Daedra. The conditions for receiving the task are quite complicated, and few people know where to find it. The task is designed for level 30+ and will reward the hero with good loot and a unique Daedric item (well, where would we be without this). Let's move on to a detailed walkthrough.

How to start the quest Call of Boethiah

To start the task, several conditions must be met:

  1. Reach level 30.
  2. Receive an “invitation”. You can do this in several ways: find the book “The Trials of Boethiah” in one of several locations or take it from the corpse of a fanatic of Boethiah, who can attack you immediately upon reaching level 30 or run to the quest location on his own.

Important! If you leveled up using the console, then you most likely will not receive the task. And you won't be able to take it in any possible way, even console command. If you encounter this, lower the level to 29 and get to 30 the honest way. After this everything will work. Let's look at the locations where you can find the book you need:

  • The first place is the post of Septimius Segonius, the book lies in the tower.
  • The second place is Khoba Cave, but the third place is much more difficult.
  • A difficult place to get the book is an abandoned house in Markarth, which you can only get to by completing Molag Bal's mission. The book can be found in the second room under the buffet.
  • A Boethiah fanatic with a book in his pocket can attack you in any city immediately upon reaching level 30.

Once we have found out, let's move on to the task!

Walkthrough of the mission Call of Boethiah

The location we need is located east of Windhelm in the mountains. If you haven't been here before, you'll have to walk. To do this, get to the city and follow the eastern road from the stables. Along the way you will come across several farms: Hlaalu, Brandy Mug and Holly. After Holly you will need to turn towards the mountain and climb up along a barely noticeable path. If you have already activated the quest, then expect to meet mountain trolls that will constantly appear.

Interesting! If you have already activated the quest “Call of Boethiah” using the book, then an inexplicable strangeness will appear around the chapel. It lies in the fact that at the very peak of the mountain there will always be night, regardless of the current time of day. This is the power of the cultists!

The sanctuary is a platform high in the mountains, surrounded by a camp and with a huge statue of Boethiah in the center. Rising to the camp, you will immediately notice the arena in which Daedra fans are fighting among themselves. Everything around is lined with dwellings and huts (in one of them you can find an alchemical laboratory and a pentagram).

Why do cultists fight each other? In this way they try to please the Daedra Prince. Interesting guys. However, soon you will also have to join them.

At the camp, a priestess will immediately approach you and begin a conversation regarding the task. In order to attract the attention of one of the Daedra, it is necessary to make a sacrifice. To do this, they even built a ritual platform, which can be found on the second “floor” of the camp, immediately behind the statue.

So, now Dovahkiin has to find someone to lure and sacrifice on the altar. For these needs, the priestess even gave us a special blade. You cannot bring anyone; you will have to sacrifice only those who trust the dragonborn.

Where to find and how to lure a victim

Unfortunately, it is impossible not to sacrifice anyone. Only if you decide to skip the task and never return to the cultists. It is impossible to complete the mission without sacrifice. If you refuse to complete the task, you will not be able to receive a unique ebony armor with an additional effect, and that’s basically it. With that out of the way, let's move on to the candidates.

Any companion or companion of Dovahkiin can become a victim. Resurrected creatures do not count (summoned creatures, dogs, corpses, horses). To put it simply, you can kill anyone to whom you can say: “Follow me.” This is the only way you can lure him to the mountain and tie him to the sacrificial pillar. If you want to complete the task, then choose the companion you like least and go ahead!

Attention! There is a known bug due to which Dovahkiin will no longer be able to enter into a marriage upon completion of this assignment. It happens if you choose your spouse as a victim. Be careful when choosing a victim for a task. When you make your decision, you will need to return back to the sanctuary along with the potential victim.

How to get a victim to touch a stone

Now the chosen companion must be forced to touch the stone. Go up to the column with the victim, select the dialogue: “I have a task for you,” move the mouse cursor over the column and order him to activate the artifact. Immediately after this, he will be immobilized, and the Daedra’s minions will begin to run towards the column. The trap was a success, and now the game will force us to look at everything that is happening.

Now you need to hit the chained companion with the sacrificial blade that you received from the priestess at the beginning of the quest. Immediately after this, the Daedric Prince Boethiah will appear, enter the body of the victim you have chosen and begin a dialogue. You can choose any answer options; they have no consequences.

In the end, Boethiah decides to have some fun and arrange a massive battle between all his fans, including our hero. The last survivor will receive further instructions from the Daedra. Immediately upon completion of the dialogue, all members of the cult will become your enemies and the massacre will begin.

Luckily, everyone will fight everyone, rather than everyone ganging up on you. Therefore, the battle will be quite easy. Once the brawl is over, Boethiah will once again turn to Dovahkiin, this time occupying the body of the priestess. The Daedra Prince is pleased with your achievements, but there is one problem. The fact is that now in Skyrim there is already one winner, chosen by the Prince. And you will have to defeat him to take his place.

Call of Boethiah - how to become a champion

The Dragonborn will have a hard time, because the current champion is the leader of a large gang of robbers. And the main problem is that you need to cut out the entire camp of bandits along with the leader, while remaining unnoticed. This will only be possible with high level secrecy, pickpocketing and alchemy. Invisibility and illusion spells will also come in handy. Without a full arsenal it will be very difficult to accomplish this. So if you haven’t leveled up your stealth yet, I advise you to return to this task later.

If you are confident in your abilities, then we immediately go to the Knife's Edge Ridge camp, which is located in the northwest of Falkreath. The camp itself is surrounded by a palisade with big amount security Even after clearing them, you will have to penetrate into the cave where the remnants of the gang are hiding along with the leader. If you are lucky, you will find the leader standing with his back to the entrance, so it will be easier to kill him. However, he has a lot of health, so be careful.

After defeating the current champion of Boethiah, the Daedric Prince will contact you once again and recognize you as his champion. As a reward you will receive unique artifact- ebonite armor with an additional effect. The item must be removed from a dead champion and put on yourself for the quest to complete. Be sure to explore the cave, and the entire camp as a whole. Here you can find a lot of "tasty" loot.

This task is very demanding on the character’s level - by the time the passage begins, he must exceed 30. Soon after this, you will be attacked by a militant cultist, in whose corpse you will find the book “The Trial of Boethiah.” Reading the book initiates the start of the quest “Call of Boethiah” - a sanctuary marker will appear on the world map. "The Trial of Boethiah" can also be found in the home of Septimius Segonius and in an abandoned house during the quest. However, if you have the required level, and the mad warrior still doesn’t attack, and you don’t want to look for the book, then you can go straight to the sanctuary.

When you arrive at the place, a follower of Boethiah will tell you that in order to attract the attention of the Daedric princess you need to “go to the dark side of the force”, drag your friend to the sacrificial pillar and stab him with a sacrificial dagger, which you will be immediately given.

There is no alternative way to complete the task, so you need to decide on a victim who will be used up: it can be a member of your guild or a companion. Bring him to the shrine and order him to activate the sacrificial pillar. After that, he will be tightly chained to the pillar, and you will only have to finish the dirty work with the help of a sacrificial dagger.

Boethiah will obviously like your feat, and she will speak to you through the body of her murdered companion. Now you will have to take part in the “hunger games”: you need to kill the cultists of Boethiah. This is not so difficult to do, since each of them will be for himself. When you've dealt with the last servant, return back to Boethiah. She will ask you to secretly eliminate her follower and his entire gang in the Knife's Edge mine. By the way, it is not at all necessary to do this secretly.

As a reward for completing the task, you will receive an excellent artifact - which allows you to move quietly and, in addition, drenches nearby enemies with poison. If you prefer close, stealthy combat, then it is better not to wear this armor: before you raise the dagger over the enemy's head, you may be discovered.

The quests of the Daedra Lords are one of the most interesting parts of the Skyrim game. There are sixteen of them in total, but now we will talk about only one of them - the quest “Call of Boethiah” (Skyrim). The passage of the quest itself, as well as the ways in which you can get it, is below in the article.

How to get the quest

Only a character of level thirty can receive the quest “Call of Boethiah”. Most likely this task will find you on its own. Shortly after reaching level thirty, you will be attacked by a member of the Cult of Boethiah. After killing the villain, do not forget to search him and you will receive the book “The Trial of Boethiah”. Read the book and a shrine will appear on the map that you need to head to. However, neither the cultist nor the book is a trigger that starts the quest. It is the sanctuary itself. Therefore, there are other ways to start the "Call of Boethiah" quest. If the mad cult representative takes too long to attack you, or you don't want to wait, then the book can be obtained in other places. "The Trial of Boethiah" is located in the abandoned house from the quest "House of Horrors" and in the home of Septimius Segonius. However, you don’t even have to look for a book: you can go straight to the shrine.

You need to look for the shrine in the mountains east of Windelhem. As the book “The Trial of Boethiah” itself says about the goddess: “...Find her on the mountain overlooking Windelham.”

If you follow the road east from the Stables location, you will meet three Windelham farms along the way. After the third farm (“Holly”), turn towards the mountain. Next, follow the path that goes from the foot of the mountain. She will lead you straight to the chapel. This is where the quest “Call of Boethiah” (Skyrim) starts. The passage is possible in the following sequence.

A follower of Boethiah (priestess) will meet you at the shrine. She will tell you how to summon the Daedra princess. Of course, you will have to do something dark and evil, namely, make a sacrifice to her. You will need to bring some of your partner to the sacrificial pillar and kill him with a ritual knife. The ritual knife is kindly provided by the priestess.

"Call of Boethiah", "Skyrim". Walkthrough: Deadly Tournament

If you decide that it's worth it, then start looking for a victim. She can be any of your companions or members of your guild. You just need to bring him to the sanctuary and through the companion order menu, click on the sacrificial pillar. When a certain sphere forms around your partner, paralyzing him, it’s time to take out the ritual knife.

After you have done your dirty deed, Boethiah herself will contact you (by the way, the gender of Boethiah is not determined, since the original sources do not mention pronouns in game Skyrim. “The Call of Boethiah” is no exception: the quest also does not provide an answer to this question that occupies so many people). She will speak through the body of your dead companion. What’s interesting is that you can conduct a dialogue with her both obsequiously and in a very impudent manner - nothing will change from this. She will have news for you: of all her followers, only one should survive. The last of the priests will receive the right to be her protector.

A mortal battle between all the cultists will take place not far from the chapel. Everyone will be for themselves, so this part the task will pass fun and without much difficulty. When Boethiah's last worshiper falls, the dark goddess will speak through his body again. She has a new task. This time it's the last one. In a place known as Knife's Edge Ridge lives a gang of her followers led by her current protector. Their leader has somehow disappointed Boethiah, and now you need to eliminate the entire gang. They say, this is the only way you can become her protector. After all, the place is officially still occupied, and dismissals in the world of the dark gods occur only through death.

Skyrim, Call of Boethiah: Knife's Edge Ridge

The place where the gang settled is a camp settlement with a mine. There are eight robbers in the camp itself. The matter will not end with them, and you will have to visit the mine, where six more will be waiting for you, including the leader.

Having dealt with each of the enemies, you will have to remove the leader from the body. As soon as you put on it, Boethiah’s voice will tell you that you are now her new protector. The quest will end here.

This is the quest “Call of Boethiah” (Skyrim). Completing this task should not cause you much trouble, but a few more tips should be given.

The victim at the pillar can be killed with any other weapon, not necessarily a ritual knife. This won't change anything.

Participation in a deadly tournament can be avoided. To do this, you need to kill all the cultists in the chapel before making the sacrifice. For example, if you are not sure of victory in an open battle, you can attack everyone covertly when the enemies are not expecting it.

Or, again using stealth, it is possible to hide during the tournament not far from the battlefield and wait until Boethiah’s followers kill each other. All that remains is to finish off the wounded winner.

Also, do not leave your horse near the arena. When the massacre begins, she will certainly rush to your aid, and, most likely, she will be quickly killed.
