The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon Hints

How do I finish this quest with Lusius?

  • 1 of 11: After he's joined you as a traveling companion, talk to him about "weapons being smuggled" to get him to suggest speaking with Zeno Faustus in the Armory area.
  • 2 of 11: When you mention the smuggling to Faustus, he'll direct you to the Gandrung Caverns.
  • 3 of 11: That's location 21 on the Solstheim Map.
  • 4 of 11: Go there and explore the place.
  • 5 of 11: Watch out for the traitorous soldiers who live there, since they all have weapons that can paralyze you, and one of them can cast monster-summoning spells.
  • 6 of 11: NOTE: Hidden near the bottom of the large stone ramp that leads down to the area with most of the smugglers is an invisibility potion. You might want to leave Lusius at the top of the stone ramp and use the inviso potion to sneak on further without combat. This is especially useful if you intend to strike a deal.
  • 7 of 11: When you reach Gualtierus Spurius' area, he'll initiate dialogue and attempt to make a deal with you.
  • 8 of 11: After he says goodbye, talk to him again about making a deal to get your choices.
  • 9 of 11: If you agree to let him go, he'll give you a Nordic Axe of Paralysis and agree to leave the island at the earliest opportunity. Also, any other surviving smugglers will no longer attack you and Lusius.
  • 10 of 11: If you refuse to let him go, you'll have to kill him and every other smuggler in the cave to be counted as defeating the smuggling ring.
  • 11 of 11: Once you get the journal entry recognizing your accomplishment, head back to the fort.
