The Mace of Molag Bal is a very powerful weapon and Daedric Artifact. It has a green glowing hue to it as if enhanced with any kind of stamina enhancement. It deals 25 points of Magicka and Stamina. The Daedric quests are unrelated to one another but correspond to the 17 Daedras in the game (although if you played the Shivering Isles expansion in Oblivion, it would explain why there are only. For The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition on the Xbox One, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Daedric quests canon?' In Oblivion, Daedric quests were all started by visiting a shrine, but in Skyrim they're mostly not and a lot of the Princes don't have shrines at all. Azura, Boethiah, Meridia, Molag Bal, and Peryite are the only ones where you can just use the Oblivion method of walking up to the shrine to start the quest.

numbers[edit]

this article says that there are 15 daedric quests however all 16 of the princes are listed here, anyone know why? Andil the mage 18:01, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I re-added Sheogorath, but didn't notice the number. Thanks for pointing it out. For the record, you should feel free to correct minor errors like that. --AKB 18:13, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Just a point, why would there be 16 quests but only 15 artifacts? And the 15 artifact achievement was confirmed. --Kiz^{·•· Talk ·•· Contribs ·•· Mail ·•·} 18:14, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Maybe one can't be completed if you complete a certain quest? Maybe we're wrong about which ones are in? It's currently one of the many unknowns. However, it appears that Sheogorath is back. Yes, I'm basing that on information coming from a leaked source, but since it's just a red link right now, and it could of been a fair assumption that he would be back, I added the link. At this point, I'm willing to just say that we should wait until the game is released in two days to answer this. --AKB 18:23, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Agreed, especially with the last point :) It was just an observation that stumped me, unless of course you don't get an artifact from one of them? Who knows :) --Kiz^{·•· Talk ·•· Contribs ·•· Mail ·•·} 18:28, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

(←) Theory: The Vaermina quest gives you the option to destroy the artifact. The trophy is set to 15 so that you don't need to replay the quest, similar to the Imperial/Greycloak quests.- 174.93.85.72 01:23, 13 November 2011

I believe that it may be because after to completing the Thieves' Guild quest, you no longer possess the Skeleton Key. If you decide not to complete the quest, the key, as far as I know, does not function as it did in previous installments. As it is a quest item, rather than a Daedric artifact, it would not count toward the 15 artifact achievement. I'm not sure if reflecting this on the table would be considered a spoiler or not, however. ._ch1m3r4._talk. 10:40, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

There is a deadric artifact's quest line that does allow it to be gained or destroyed, hence 15 of 16 being the mark to gain the achievment. — Unsigned comment by 75.65.227.148 (talk) at 10:59 on 14 December 2011

Darkness Returns is the odd one, the skeleton key has to be returned to complete the quest The Silencer 04:08, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Inaccuracies[edit]

Molag Bal: If it is true that the Vigilant 'accosts' the player during the night, then it is entirely possible that his behaviour is based on your previous actions. I met him during the day, and rather than 'accosting' me, he invited me to join him in his quest to strike down the Daedra, and any worshippers that may be there. ._ch1m3r4._talk. 10:48, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Shrine/Start Location[edit]

Wouldn't it make more sense to list the start location of the quests instead of shrine locations? Many of the quests don't have shrines associated. 98.255.42.54 22:21, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Whiterun Innkeeper[edit]

I spoke to the innkeeper at Whiterun about rumours and instead of getting the listed Daedric quest, I got the location of Azura's Shrine. Anyone else experience this kind of thing?--Dro'Bakha 08:28, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Me. I only got the location of the shrine, but I got the quest from Aranea when I talked to her. --Neekerisanni123 19:20, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Daedric Lord's pages[edit]

I'm going to change the Daedric Lord's pages from Skyrim pages to lore pages simple because no other game has a page for one just one Deadric Lord 68.109.194.141 03:41 21 November 2011

But many of them occur as NPC's in Skyrim, so the unique pages are warranted Tails-for-Fists 01:02, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

What about ones without NPC's? And couldn't we just add the new info to the lore page? 68.109.194.141 08:01 21 November 2011

Might Not Be Able To Get The Achievement[edit]

I just did every quest and did not get the achievement since I let the skull get destroyed, and since I was not a werewolf I did not get the ring when I spared the beast's life. Can others confirm this is not just a bug? PC version.Rip-Saw 19:35, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

I did the same and no achievement (on PS3) 14:07, 24 Dec 2011. I assume it was allowing the skull to be destroyed that was the issue for me (I got the ring sparing the beasts life, and was not a werewolf so that may be a bug) — Unsigned comment by 2.216.46.122 (talk) at 14:08 on 24 December 2011

Me too (PS3) I got the ring AND took the werewolf's skin. I am pretty sure I have all the artifacts, but my quest counter says 14 Daedric Quests.. I killed the orcs so I can't do the Cursed Tribe. — Unsigned comment by 74.111.11.170 (talk) on 12 March 2012

Patch fixes Hircine's Quest?[edit]

I just tried to get both the Savior's Hide and Hircine's Ring, but as soon as I took the beasts skin, the ghost guy appeared and began talking to me - i.e. I had zero chance to turn away and get the ring first.

Interestingly, when I got outside, the other ghost was still there and spoke to me - but I did not get the ring..

Might this be to do with the PS3 patch? --82.32.51.37 14:31, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

The saviors hide is the boomerang of hircine. And allowing the skull of corruption to be destroyed means your never had it in your inventory. There are 16 daedric lords. The achievement (trophy) allows you to miss one. But you guys both missed two. — Unsigned comment by 173.69.184.6 (talk) at 09:10 on 15 February 2012

Skeleton Key[edit]

It says here that the Skeleton Key is a possible reward for a quest. That is not the case because it is lost upon quest completion, and is not a reward, merely an OP item for those who don't finish the quest Darkness Returns. ZeNinjaHawk 08:49, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps there is a more generic term than 'reward' which would describe the column better, but it is an optional reward for taking the quest, if not for finishing. Keeping the artifact as an optional reward is a common practice, there are sometimes optional quest endings which aren't hard-coded into the game. Lukish_TlkCnt 09:59, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Sold an artifact (Dawnbreaker). Am I still able to get the achievement?[edit]

I sold Dawnbreaker very early in the game. Can I still get this achievement on the end? — Unsigned comment by 155.56.68.217 (talk) at 16:20 on 16 December 2011

Yes, the achievement is for recieving all 15, not having them all at once.RIM 21:04, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
