The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Kill Silus.
1 of 6: You can either start attacking Silus right away, or talk to him first.
2 of 6: If you talk to him, you can agree to let him go in order to get some gold from him. However, doing this will make it impossible to ever get Mehrunes' Razor.
3 of 6: If you decide to kill Silus, do so to get the "Speak to Mehrunes Dagon" objective. Otherwise, the quest will end right away. Read on for some post-quest notes.
4 of 6: Dagon will get mad and send two dremora to attack you. Kill both of them, then loot them to get magic weapons, Daedra hearts, and keys to the shrine.
5 of 6: If you enter the shrine, you'll find two more dremora to kill, plus lots of loot to claim.
6 of 6: You can return to Dawnstar to find that Silus has sealed the razor pieces up in his most secure museum case, where they will reside for the rest of eternity (or until the next Elder Scrolls game).
