The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

Collect Haelga's debt.

  • 1 of 4: Go to Haelga's Bunkhouse and talk to Haelga, who's probably behind the counter.
  • 2 of 4: Say you have a message from Brynjolf, then beat her in a fist-fighting brawl. (Note that if you've already collected from the other two people, she'll pay right away.)
  • 3 of 4: If you don't want to do that, say this isn't about the money anymore, then do the "(Optional) Steal Haelga's Statue of Dibella" objective.
  • 4 of 4: You can then talk to her about dropping the statue down a well to get her to hand over 100 gold.
