Kill Deekus

Quick WalkthroughEdit

  1. Get the contract from Nazir.
  2. Travel to Hela's Folly.
  3. Assassinate Deekus.
  4. Report back to Nazir to collect your reward.

Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Another simple assassination. Head to Hela's Folly, northeast of Dawnstar. Deekus is by himself, so he is easily picked off. Spread about his camp are some miscellaneous items such as gems and a Dibella Statue, presumably items he has looted from shipwrecks. There are two chests with Novice- and Apprentice-level locks that contain some minor loot; one is next to his tent and one is inside the shipwreck. The chest near the tent is protected by a bear trap, so opening it from behind is recommended. The chest in the shipwreck is located in the sunken half of the ship.

Like most assassination targets, you may choose to have a conversation with Deekus.

Topic Dialogue
"I'm going to kill you. Slowly. Painfully." "You'll have to catch me first!"
(Remain silent) "Go away! I don't know who you are, but this is my spot! Whatever's on that ship is mine!"
"I'm sorry, egg brother, but I've been sent to kill you." (If the player is an Argonian)
"I'm sorry, Argonian, but I've been sent to kill you." (if the player is not Argonian)
"What? Why? I don't understand... I have done nothing to wrong you. Please, mercy!"

After the kill, report back to Nazir for some leveled gold as a reward.

Notes
  • Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • 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 any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
  • 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.
  • On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage DBSideContract06 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, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest DBSideContract06.
