The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon Hints

Race Against the Clock

  • 1 of 8: Save your game before asking Falco for another assignment. This one is a rare timed quest where you fail if you don't complete it within a certain number of game hours.
  • 2 of 8: He'll hand you a report and say that it must be in Carnius' hands before five hours have passed. That doesn't sound too hard, especially if you have a Mark spell set in Carnius' room. (If not, use the boat to sail to the fort -- that only takes two hours. Or cast Divine Intervention to zap straight to the fort's courtyard.)
  • 3 of 8: However, you'll find that Carnius is out. Talk to Constans Atrius to find out where he went.
  • 4 of 8: There are three possibilities for this, and which one you get was chosen randomly when you started the quest.
  • 5 of 8: The possibilities are:

    Brodir Grove, a short ways east of Ulfgar's house (location 33 on the map).
    Next to the ocean almost directly east of the Valbrandr Barrow (location 13 on the map).
    Next to the wreck of the first supply ship, a ways NW of Geilir's house (location 34 on the map).
  • 6 of 8: NOTE: After you finish talking to Atrius, a trap will go off that will attempt to put a strong Burden spell on you and greatly drain your Agility and Speed. This was, of course, done on purpose to slow you down. If you couldn't resist the magic, restore your game and try to jump or levitate over the trap (it's on the carpet that's near Atrius).
  • 7 of 8: When you find Carnius at last, talk to him about "report" to hand it over.
  • 8 of 8: Return to Falco to get $1,000 if you delivered the report before the deadline.
