The Daedric Quests + Rewards

A Guide How To Finish Every Daedric Quest And a Overview on wich items you get From them.

The Black Star (Azura)

The quest at the Shrine of Azura asks the Dragonborn to retrieve the defiled Azura's Star, an 'infinite' soul gem. The Dragonborn must recover Azura's Star from Ilinalta's Deep and, upon success, will have two options:

A Bring it back to Azura's shrine, or B bring it to Nelacar, a resident of the inn at Winterhold, who helped earlier in that quest. Depending on which decision is made will determine whether one will receive Azura's Star or the Black Star.

Either choice will require You to enter the Star and defeat the necromancer that is defiling it from within. If the Dragonborn brings Azura's Star to Azura, they will be rewarded with the purified variant of the Star, which can only absorb the souls of lesser creatures. Aranea Ienith, the Priestess of Azura who gave the quest, will also become a follower. By bringing the star to Nelacar again, they will be rewarded with the Black Star, which acts as a black soul gem.

Level Requirement: None

Rewards Are : Azura´s Star (Left) & The Black Star (Right)

A Daedra's Best Friend (Clavicus Vile)

This One is my Most Favorite Daedra quest,


The Masque of Clavicus Vile is a Heavy Armor helmet, which is given by Clavicus Vile after returning the Rueful Axe. The quest begins in Falkreath after acquiring the task of luring out a stray dog the blacksmith is interested in. Upon finding the dog, to the Dragonborn's surprise, it talks.

The dog, named Barbas, then requests the Dragonborn help him reunite with his master, leading the player to Clavicus' Shrine at the back of Haemar's Shame. Clavicus agrees to take back Barbas, if the Dragonborn collects the Rueful Axe from Rimerock Burrow for him.

After acquiring the axe, he offers a deal: to let the Dragonborn keep the axe if the Dragonborn kills Barbas with it. If the Dragonborn chooses not to kill Barbas, they will receive the Masque of Clavicus Vile instead.

Note: The Rueful Axe does not count as Vile's Daedric artifact.

Asking Hulda the bartender at The Bannered Mare in Whiterun about rumors turns up gossip about Jarl Balgruuf's son, Nelkir. Talking to the Jarl reveals that Nelkir is troubled and he asks the Dragonborn to speak to him. Nelkir explains that a door in the basement is telling him secrets. Going to the door, a voice orders the Dragonborn to open it. Nelkir will explain that the Jarl and Farengar Secret-Fire are the only people who have keys. The Dragonborn must pickpocket the key from one of them in order to gain entrance to the door. Inside they will find an Ebony Blade, along with a book providing a warning to whoever uses the weapon.

The quest then completes. Mephala will explain, however, that the weapon needs to be recharged with the 'Blood of Deceit' in order to increase its power. This will require the Dragonborn to kill friendly NPCs - for every two NPCs killed by the Dragonborn, the weapon increases in power, adding 4 to the strength of the Absorb Health effect (up to the maximum of 30); killing 10 friendly NPCs will max out the strength of the Absorb Health Enchantment.

Upon finishing the Drinking Contest the Dragonborn will end up in Markarth, in a temple.

A very useful little checklist. I have one minor correction, however. Volendrung was forged by the Dwemer. In fact it's actually the hammer from which the Redguard nation of Hammerfell takes its name. The leader of the Dwemer clan who originally settled the area, refusing to ally with the Chimer Great Houses, supposedly cast his hammer into the horizon and vowed to resettle his clan wherever it landed. It landed in what's now known as Hammerfell (or Volenfell in the Dwemer language, meaning "City of the Hammer"). No one actually knows how it came to be an artifact of Malacath.

azuras star is racist.

The Skeleton key

[Fanged_Ice19]

which object isn't the daedric artifact? you said there was one that wasn't a daedric artifact

[Neemoi]

in Hermaeus Mora's Quest do you know where is the location of the elfs?

[opticalplasma]

Ok
Thanks

[Dyzzy]

Like i said. Sadly Skyrim is full of bugs.. try to fix it with mods / unofficial Patches or The Worst Part if you finished the quest than cheat the skeleton key.

[opticalplasma]

Vario, in nocturnals quest, I completed it but didnt retrieve the skeleton key?

[Dyzzy]

If Its Still Then Try To Go Alone out. If Its Still Not Working Then You Should Look For An Patch Like The Unnoficial Skyrim Patch.

[SoulGate]

I'm having trouble with the nocturnal quest. I got the nightengale armor, and meet in that sepulcher before the room, but Karliah doesn't go up the stairs, she just leaves. What gives?
