Detailed WalkthroughEdit

At the start of the quest Keshu the Black Fin will suggest you to summon any allies you've found in Blackwood & head over to Fort Redmane to help defend the Ambitions. The allies you can obtain include those done by completing the quests; A Keep's Ransom at Borderwatch, Shadows in the Swamp in Hutan-Tzel & The Rising Winds in Stonewastes.

The option to approach the optional allies for assistance is available only if their respective side quest was completed prior to starting Pyre of Ambition. Players missing these optional steps from their Quest journal may choose to abandon Pyre of Ambition, complete the optional side quests, and then re-start Pyre of Ambition at Gideon.


Mehrunes Dagon arrives.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game 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.
