Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Following a road shortly outside of Riften you may encounter Yngvar, a frightened Nord pact soldier. Upon speaking to him you will learn that his comrades, including Captain Viveka, have been captured by Worm Cultists in and around Lost Prospect. Yngvar may be pressed for more information through an intimidation check, which reveals that a Cultist took the key to the cages to the central tent in the camp on the hill.

Fight through the cultists, retrieve the key, and free the soldiers. You'll need to free Adelsar, Hara-Na and Varryn Hloran. Once you've done so, enter the mines to search for Captain Viveka. Inside you will see multiple Lost Souls who will tell you that the leader of the Cultists, a woman named Gullveig, is using a shard of Wuuthrad to steal the souls of peasants around the area.

Exit the mine after freeing two bound peasants and you will find Captain Viveka and Gullveig, the latter of which is performing a ritual to remove Viveka’s soul. Gullveig will summon many zombies in an attempt to stop you interrupting her ritual, however after defeating the zombies Gullveig herself comes to deal with you, revealing herself as a lich. Kill the lich and free Viveka, who will then rush into the sanctum below. She will say she needs to gather her troops and asks you to recover the shard of Wuuthrad. Doing so will cause the spirit of Ysgramor to appear and congratulate you. Leave the sanctum and speak to Viveka again to complete the mission.

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.
