Joining the Dark Brotherhood
Basically, the Dark Brotherhood is a type of guild which
exceeds in the killing of others, and just from talking about
rumours with the other NPC's, you can tell that the method of
recruitment is confronting a person who has murdered someone.
Therefore, the key to joining The DB (Dark Brotherhood) is to
flat out murder someone, then go to sleep. When you wake up, you
will be approached by a hooded figure and will then be given
instructions on how to join.
They give out some great armor, and weapons as bonuses for
some of the quests. At some point in one of the later quests
before you become a Silencer, you get to kill all of the members
in the local group. Basically, you get to kill them and collect
all of their loot without any penalities. The quest involves
killing 5-6 DB members to eliminate a possible spy.
A Knife In the Dark
The hooded figure will first tell you to go to the Inn of Ill
Omen to kill a man named "Rufio." Chances are you haven't found
this place yet which means you will have to walk there. It's on
the road between Bravil and the Imperial City. Once there, talk
to the inn-keeper. He'll tell you that Rufio lives downstairs in
the "Private Quarters." Look behind and to the left of you for a
trap door in the floor. Walk all the way down the hallway to the
last door on your left. A good time to go in would be when he is
sleeping (I went around midnight), and kill him in his sleep.
After this, rent a room and sleep in the inn. (Or you could just
sleep in his room if you don't want to spend money for a room --
I actually slept in his bed, next to his cold, dead body.) The
hooded figure will once again awake you and tell you to go to
Cheydinhal to an abandoned house on the east side of town (your
quest indicator will guide you there). Make sure you have some
lockpicks, because you will need to pick an "easy" level lock to
gain access.
The Sanctuary
Upon entering the abandoned house, go to your right to the
door to the basement. Once there head through the stone
passageway to the black door with the skull and other various
drawings. When you try to open the door, a mysterious voice will
say "What is the color of night?" Reply, "Sanguine, my brother,"
and the door will be opened to you. You will then need to speak
with Ocheeva, who will welcome you with a new suit of enchanted
armor. She will guide you to Vicente for assignments.
Welcome to the Family
Just get a contract from Vicente Valtieri
A Watery Grave
The first task you are given involves making a pirate captain
"disappear." Your told he is in the waterfront district and that
asking your fellow brothers about the contract can give you
helpful tips. Do so, and find out as much as you can before you
leave, and you'll discover that they are skilled with blades,
but dont like armour. You will also discover that it might be
possible to sneak aboard in a crate.
A nice thing to do here is to buy the hands of midnight off
of the khajit if u dont have a chameleon or invisiblity
spell/potion, if you have the cash that is.
Head to the waterfront and to the ship that is indicated on
your compass, if your using the gloves, make sure its night time
and throw em on, otherwise, simply put on your spell and walk
onto the ship and into the door on the deck. Or you can make
your way to the open crate at the end of the pier and you will
get a quest update about hiding in the crate. Make your way up
through the ship. At one point you will overhear 2 sailors
talking. There will be a door to a room in front of you as you
walk down the hallway. Go into the room and close the door. Wait
till they finish talking. One will go to sleep and the other
will walk past you to the other end of the ship. Sneak out and
climb the ladder to the next level.
If your in sneak the whole time, you can walk right by him,
he'll see you but wont care, and wont get up. Go around him, and
take a power sneak attack at him, he should go down. Quickly
search his body and take the key, then leave out the back door,
NOT THE ONE YOU CAME IN! If you wait too long, his crew will
bang on the door asking if he's alright since they heard a
commotion, and then come in and hammer you. Once your outside
the ship, simply fast travel back to Cheydinhal and your done.
Blood of the Damned
Just get a contract from Vicente Valtieri
Accidents Happen
Loosen Fastenings on mounted head to make it fall on Baenlin.
No Rest for the Wicked
Just get a contract from Vicente Valtieri
Scheduled Execution
Break into the prison and kill Valen Dreth
story note: This is the annoying guy who was taunting you at
the very beginning of the game. Felt good to put an arrow into
him through his cell bars.
To do this, simply navigate through the sewers, follow the
marker on the compass untill it leads you to the Imperial
Sanctum. Once insede you will overhear a conversation between
two of the guards. After a while they will both walk off. Head
straight across the hall into the big room where you faced the
last Mythic Dawn assasins. Go all the way round the room into
the far right corner, the guard will be in the left by the
stairs, Sneaking all the way, jump up onto the platform leading
to the stairs, but from the opposite side of the guard and ONLY
when his back is turned, continue up through the door.
Stick to the shadows on the right, Eventually a guard will
walk straight past you and stop to face a wall. Take your chance
and run to where he came from. Keep going and you wil face no
more guards. Follow it and you'll reach your jail cell. Wait
untill the guard has left and now you have a few options:
1. Use a bow and arrow to kill him (fun then pick up the
Imperial Prison Key on the table to the left)
2. Use magic to kill him throught he gates (fun then pick up
the Imperial Prison Key on the table to the left)
3. Head left, pick up both keys. now you can slash him
to bits ('Emotional' :P!)
Once thats done head right up the stairs using your new key
to open up the door to the Prison 'front room' and exit out the
front door. Simple! --CplTJ

To Serve Sithis
Just get a contract from Vicente Valtieri
The Assasinated Man
Fake the death of Motierre
note you will need to open a hard lock to get into
Motierre's house/castle.
When you enter Motierre's house talk to him and he will
instruct you to hide until the enforcer arrives. Just hide in
the shadows. The enforcer will arrive and talk to Motierre. You
can pop out whenever, but make sure the enforcer doesn't kill
him. The "acting" is hilarious here.
Hit him once with the poisoned blade that Vicente gave you
and he will go down. The enforcer will attack you... don't kill
him, just run out of town. As soon as you get the quest update
you can go back in.
Wait for (x hours) and then go to the chapel and find
Motierre's body downstairs. Use the antidote and he will awaken
and say something about his ancestors being pissed... i.e. you
are about to be attacked by a number of zombies. They aren't
very hard, but make sure Motierre doesn't die.
Once you get outside, talk to Motierre. Return to Cheydinhall.
My Brother's Keeper
Vicente tells you to get new contracts from Ocheeva. Get a
contract from Ocheva.
The Dark Gift
Vicente offers to turn you into a Vampire, not needed, but
can be accepted anytime.
The Lonely Wanderer
Kill the high Elf Faelian. There must be no witnesses. He
hangs out at the Tiber Septim Hotel in the Imperial city. You
can either charm the hell out of his girlfriend to get her to
tell you the whole story or you can talk to Faenlin directly. If
you give him skooma, he will invite you to an abandoned house
himself.
Enter the Eliminator
Get a contract from Ocheva.
Bad Medicine
Sneak into Fort Sutch and replace Roderick's medicine with
poison
The Night Mother's Child
Get a contract from Ocheva.
Whodunit?
Reminds me of "Saw"!
Basically you have to go to Summitmist Manor in Skingrad,
which is on the North-North-East side of town (followo your
quest indicator). People are gathered there to play a game in
which they are seeking a treasure, all of which is being
conducted by the "unknown host." This host has actually
contacted the Dark Brotherhood to get all of these people
killed, which is where you come in. In order to get your bonus,
you must kill the guests, one by one, secretly and separately
from the rest. Start the mission by speaking with the doorman.
The Doorman
Upon speaking with the doorman, he will fill you in with some
details:
- He's in the Dark Brotherhood
- He lets you have the key to the manor
- He hates the people inside
After speaking with him, save the game in case you screw up
your bonus, and enter the house...
The Game Begins...
When you enter the house, you'll be greeted by Matilde, who
will introduce herself and the others. Just for kicks, reply
with the "I'm an assassan" answer, but don't worry, you're cover
won't be blown. She'll think your joking. Ask her the remaining
possible questions, as she will tell you details about the
others.
Everyone will be walking around, so you might as well talk to
each one of them, or if you're in a hurry, go ahead with the
slaughter, just remember, you have to kill them secretly. When I
did it, I went straight upstairs, where the Dak Elf and the
Redguard were in two different rooms. Two down.
Next I headed back downstairs, where the granny and the
Naughty were on the upper level, while the stuck up guy was on
the ground floor...by himself...
After you've knocked him out, talk to the nord and he'll tell
you that he is going downstairs to get a drink. Follow him to
his doom...
Go back upstairs to find the granny by herself. You almost
feel guilty!
P.S. - Feel free to rob the bodies, as they won't be needing
their belongings anymore.
Now report back to the Sanctuary to recieve your payment and
that sweet bonus - the Blessing of the Night Mother and a bunch
of PERMANENT SKILL UPGRADES! Oh yeah, and you get promoted!
The Assassin's Gambit
Get a contract from Ocheva.
Permanent Retirement
Your mission is to track down Adamus Phillida, who recently
retired, and kill him. He resides in Leywiin at the City Watch
barracks. Then you have to remove his finger and plant it in the
desk of his successor, who lives at the Prison Barracks in the
IC (Imperial City). You are given a special arrow that will
instantly kill him, but will only work when he doesn't have his
armor on, so you must spy on him to find his schedule so that
you discover the right oppourtunity. However, you do not have to
kill him with the arrow, anything will do.
One option is to follow him around for a while until he
eventually goes into the pond to swim. Hide behind a building
and shoot him. After the guards run past go and recover the
finger and whatever else he has on him (make sure you get all
the keys!).
Next you must travel to the IC Prison.
The Imperial Prison
Once you arrive at the prison follow your quest marker to the
Imperial Office door. About 1 in the morning is a good time to
break in. You'll be able to use one of the keys you took off of
Phillida to unlock the door to the inside. Once inside walk a
couple of feet to the desk, manually drop in the finger, and
report back to Ocheeva for your reward and bonus!
The Renegade Shadowscale
Go to Cyrodiil find a swamp called Bogwater and kill the
renegade shadowscale Scar-Tail.
Of Secret and Shadow
When you have completed all of contracts for Vincente Valtier.
Then you move on to Ocheeva, after her missions are done, go
back and talk to her. She will give you a note it is from Lucien
Lachance (you know the guy who asked you if you wanted to be in
the Dark Brotherhood). Well anyways as you read the note you
will see that he has asked you to meet him at Fort Farragut. It
will also say to watch out for his minions, but you dont have to
worry about them with this cool little tip. Of coarse I didn't
find out about until I had already killed all his skeleton
bodyguards. If you face the door to Fort Farragut turn around
like 180 degrees, you should see a large opening in the wall,
walk through it, the first tree on your left (it's pretty big)
walk over to it, there is a hole in it and inside the hole is a
trap door go down it and you will be in Lucien Lachance room and
he will be right there. Hope it works out for ya.
The Purification
Kill all members of the dark Brotherhood.
The Dead Drop
According to Lucien Lachance, you will now recieve your
contracts, as well as any rewards you may be owed, by visiting
secret dead drop locations scattered around Cyrodiil. Your next
contract can be found in a hidden hollow inside the moss-covered
rock on the top of Hero Hill, which is to the southeast of Fort
Farragut.
Affairs of a Wizard
You must go to Leafrot Cave and kill a Necromancer who has
begun the process of transforming himself into a lich. This
Necromancer Celedaen has not yet completed the metamorphosis but
is still powerful. Search the cave for his weakness in his
writtings. Pickpocket him and inside his inventory is a hour
glass called Sands of Resolve take it. He will become very
vaunerable.
Next of Kin
For this contract you must kill the entire Draconis family.
The only family matron Perennia Draconis is on a farm in
Applewatch. If you say the right thing to her she will think
that you are there to get her kids gifts, she will give you a
list of where they are and 100 gold. It gives a suggestion on
what order to kill them, I found it easy to do it in that order.
Obviously you should kill them in the most contained place as
possible. One good tip is when you get to Druken Dragon Inn and
you have to kill Andreas Draconis. First don't worry about the
guard, all you have to do is go and talk to Andreas and say
"Your mother bled like a pig." (thats only if you killed the
mother first). Once you say that he will attack you and not only
can you kill him without getting in trouble the guard will
actually fight him with or for you.
Broken Vows
Ok you have to go to Bruma. Right down the street from Olav
's Tap and Tack is the one you have to kill. Your target is a
Khajiit named J'Ghasta a master in hand-to-hand combat. He is
relatively difficult. Once you go in J'Ghasta's house go
downstairs and underneath the stairs is a trap door under some
folded cloth. The trap door leads to a seret training room,
where J'Ghasta is. If by chance you need to, you may go out onto
the streets and the guards will not stop you J'Ghasta paid them
to "look the other way", because J'Ghasta is expecting trouble.
Final Justice
You are ordered to kill an Argonian hunter named Shaleez, who
is holed up in the Flooded Mine. She is a wanted pshychpath, so
be cautious.
A Matter of Honor
Alval Uvani is a Dark Elf merchant who travels all around
Cyrodiil. Inside your last pick up you should have received the
schedule along with you current orders and pay from last
contract. Uvani is a master of Desruction school of magicka. Due
to a rare allergy to honey if you offer him some mead it will
rendered him immobile, it is his weakness.
The Coldest Sleep
A Nord named Havilstein Hoar-Blood who is skilled with and
axe. He is in a small campsite on Gnoll Mountain. Beware that he
has a dog Redmaw who damages your health pretty bad. I went up
once on my horse and Havilstein drew out his axe and started
fighting me, however, I did it again without my horse and he
fist fought me. So it is your choice on how you want him to
attack you. Either way Redmaw helps.
A Kiss Before Dying
In Bravil at the statue of the Lucky Old Lady around 6:00 pm
and 1:00 am there will be a Wood Elf by the name of Ungolim
thats who you have to kill. Don't worry about it being in the
middle of the street he paid off the guards to let the fight
happen. Be careful not only is he expecting someone, he has a
sense for assassins' pressence. What I did was when he started
shooting arrows at me I stepped behind a guard, he shot the
guard and the guard attacked him and killed him for me. It was
pretty easy, no work needed. Here is the clincher after you kill
him, you are confronted by Lucien Lachance, he tells you that
you have been killing off memebers of the Black Hand, he then
realizes you have no idea. And tells you that there is a traitor
who has been going around switching the dead drop orders. Fort
Farragut is no longer safe and he tells you to go to Applewatch
the place where you killed the Old Draconis Lady. You must go to
your next dead drop location and wait to see who switches the
orders. Good Luck!
