The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine Hints

Priory of the Nine

  • 1 of 11: After you leave Vanua with the Helm of the Crusader, check your world map to find the Priory of the Nine.
  • 2 of 11: It's quite a ways SW of Vanua, just above the word "West" in "The West Weald" on the world map.
  • 3 of 11: When you get there, start looking around for the cuirass that's supposed to be hidden in the vicinity.
  • 4 of 11: Before you enter the undercroft, make sure you're ready for a big battle with several ghostly knights.
  • 5 of 11: As you move toward the cuirass at the west end of the undercroft's main room, the ghostly knights will appear all around you.
  • 6 of 11: After you talk to Sir Amiel's spirit, which is closest to the cuirass, you'll have to fight the knight spirits one at a time.
  • 7 of 11: After you defeat Sir Amiel's spirit, all you have to do is wait for the barrier over the Cuirass of the Crusader to drop, then you can take it (after you get a journal entry).
  • 8 of 11: Go talk to all the knight spirits to see what leads they can give you on the remaining Crusader items.
  • 9 of 11: You'll get four item-getting quests which can be done in various orders, though you'll need to finish "Nature's Fury" before you can finish "The Path of the Righteous."
  • 10 of 11: After you're done with all four of those quests, return to the Priory of the Nine and enter the main building.
  • 11 of 11: Lathon will approach you and talk to you about the death of Sir Roderic (whether you found those guys during your wayshrine pilgrimage or not), thereby ending this quest and starting "The Faithful Squire."
