Quick WalkthroughEdit
- Obtain quest from Korir, the Jarl of Winterhold.
- Journey to the target location.
- Retrieve the Helm of Winterhold.
- Return to Korir with the helm.
Detailed WalkthroughEdit
When asking the Jarl of Winterhold, Korir, for work, you may be asked to find the missing Helm of Winterhold, which was worn by Jarl Hanse in the First Era:
- You're the Jarl? I'm looking for work.
- "Winterhold has lost much of its history, and with that much of its power. I aim to change that. I've heard rumors of the resting place of the Helm of Winterhold, the very same helm that Jarl Hanse wore in the First Era. Hanse was in line to be High King of Skyrim, you know. Having that might get the ear of the other Holds and give me some authority."
Once you've agreed to find it, head to the location marked on your map, and head to the boss chest, where you will find the helm. The location will be randomly selected from the following: Driftshade Refuge, Fort Fellhammer, Hela's Folly, Hob's Fall Cave, Ironbind Barrow, Pride of Tel Vos, Saarthal, Snow Veil Sanctum, Yngol Barrow, Yngvild.
After you have retrieved the helm, return to Korir to receive your reward.
| Levels | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1–9 | 500 |
| 10–19 | 750 |
| 20–29 | 1,000 |
| 30–39 | 1,250 |
| 40+ | 1,500 |
NotesEdit
- The journal entry for Driftshade Refuge is listed as Driftshade Sanctuary.
- If the location of the helm is at Hela's Folly, you will need to steal the helm from a locked chest. If you are caught by Deekus, he will take everything you stole from the chest except the helm. If arrested by a guard, they will also not take the helm, as its status as a quest item supersedes its stolen status.
- You cannot get this quest if Korir is not Jarl of Winterhold. Fortunately, it is only a prerequisite for becoming Thane while Korir is Jarl: if he is replaced, his replacement Kraldar will give you the title without completing this quest or any other.
- The helm can be pickpocketed back off Korir if you are skilled enough. It will no longer be a quest item, but appears to retain its Stolen status even if sold to a Thieves Guild fence and repurchased (at least, this was the case with Mallus Maccius in Skyrim Special Edition).
- Unlike many "named" objects, there is nothing much special about the Helm of Winterhold. Once it stops being a quest item, it has the exact same properties and sale price as an unenchanted Steel Helmet.
- As of the latest version of Skyrim Special Edition, this also means it can be tempered with a Steel Ingot and the Steel Smithing perk. It can even be enchanted. The latter is not possible while it is still a quest item.
BugsEdit
- If this quest sends you to Yngol Barrow, it breaks the associated quest, causing Yngol's Shade, the Helm of Yngol, and the skeleton it rests upon not to appear as intended.
The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 2.0.4, fixes this bug.
- This quest commonly conflicts with Purity of Revenge, causing one or the other to be unable to start until the other is completed.
- The Official Skyrim Patch, version 1.9, fixes this bug.
- The quest may, through unknown conditions, become repeatable: pointing you to different locations every time it is given.
- The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 1.2.6, fixes this bug.
- If you have initiated this quest but subsequently went on to finish the Reunification of Skyrim questline for the Imperial Legion - or if Winterhold changes hands during Season Unending in the Main Quest line - Korir will be replaced as the jarl and be relocated to Brunwulf Free-Winter's house in Windhelm. If you try to give him the helm after Brunwulf becomes Jarl of Windhelm, he is continuously locked up in the house, and picking the lock will only result in him telling you you're trespassing. There is no way to finish the quest and you are stuck with the helm in your inventory, as it cannot be dropped since it's a quest item.
- The quest can be completed by attacking and luring Korir outside, calming him, and then speaking with him before he heads back inside. This will incur a bounty. Trying to engage him in conversation just as you are leaving will also lead to him following you outside.
- Alternatively, open up the console, click on the jarl and then type
Addtofaction 0005A1A4 1into the box. This adds an NPC to the player ally faction, which will make a normally hostile NPC be non-hostile. This should allow you to complete the quest. - You can also finish the quest by typing
setstage Favor158 20. This will also remove the helm from your inventory.
- Jarl Korir may not give a dialogue option to start this quest.
- Some reports suggest that the quest is flagged as completed as soon as one gains access to the College.
- This quest can only be started the first time you visit Winterhold, if you fast travel away before initiating the quest then you won't be able to start it.
- Starting the quest via console does not work. You can bypass this quest and still become Thane of Winterhold on PC with
player.setrelationshiprank 1c1b5 2.

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 Favor158 stage, wherestageis 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 usingresetquest Favor158.
