The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon Hints

The Skaal Test of Strength

  • 1 of 13: When you talk to Heart-Fang to get this quest, he'll tell you to report to Wind-Eye out near Lake Fjalding.
  • 2 of 13: That's the big frozen-over lake that's just west of Thirsk, so head down there.
  • 3 of 13: You'll find Wind-Eye at the NE corner of the lakeshore.
  • 4 of 13: Talk to him to learn that something's going on under the lake, and that some special Draugr named Aesliip is behind it all.
  • 5 of 13: So dive down into the lake through one of the large holes in the ice and find the entrance to the Caves of Fjalding (location 41 on the Solstheim Map).
  • 6 of 13: A bit south and east of the entrance is a passage that leads to Aesliip's Lair.
  • 7 of 13: In the lair, find Aesliip and talk to him about his becoming a Draugr to stop some souped-up Daedra from invading Solstheim.
  • 8 of 13: You'll eventually be given the choice of helping Aesliip destroy the Daedra or killing him on the spot.
  • 9 of 13: If you choose to fight Aesliip, you can kill him and take his ring now and report directly back to Wind-Eye to finish up.
  • 10 of 13: Otherwise, agree to help him fight, then head through the nearby barrier (which he'll drop) and go through the entrance to the Caverns area.
  • 11 of 13: Run around the tunnels of the caverns, killing all of the Dire Frost Atronachs that you find.
  • 12 of 13: There are a bunch of them. Once you kill them all, Aesliip will give you his ring and fall over dead.
  • 13 of 13: Whether you got his ring the easy or the hard way, report back to Wind-Eye and then head back to the village to report to Heart-Fang.
