Detailed Walkthrough

The 'murderer' is a Werewolf!

To start this quest talk to Beggar Matthew to the right of the Daggerfall Cathedral entrance. He asks you to help him because his friends have been murdered, and he thinks he'll be next. Agree to help him and he'll tell you to start your investigation in the Trade District Alleys. Go directly east from where Beggar Matthew is located, past the fountain, and check behind the houses. Against the eastern wall near some barrels and crates you'll find a dead Bloodthorn Cultist; examine his body, where you'll discover he was killed by a significant amount of force.

From here, head southwest behind the houses across the street, and you'll find Shiftless Gaven to talk to, joined by both Dufrain and Skeevers. He says it is a monster who killed those people, not a person. He calls it the curse of Camlorn. Now go northwest towards the river, and talk to Panhandler Thomas, who just witnessed the murder of Guillaume to the werewolf. After you talk to him, the werewolf will attack you from the river and must be killed. Go to the plaza in front of the Mages Guild and talk to Lieutenant Dubois to be rewarded for solving the mystery murders, although he asks you to keep quiet about it. Afterwards you can ask him for more information about Camlorn and werewolves.

Notes

• The body of the Bloodthorn Cultist disappears instantly after examining it.

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
