Detailed Walkthrough

What's the pledge today?

"The Vaults of Madness. Misshapen as its creator's mind. Filled with the horrors of Oblivion. Only eternal torment awaits any who would enter. Does that entice you?"

And if I can handle more?

"The Mad Architect is the only mortal to make pacts with multiple Daedric Princes. Your sanity would shatter merely looking upon him. If you wish to dive headlong in to madness, you have only invoke the Scroll of Glorious Battle and meet the maker."

I pledge to explore Vaults of Madness and return Undaunted.

Once you have accepted the quest, you can enter the Vaults of Madness dungeon either by accessing the dungeon through the Dungeon Finder, or heading to Coldharbour and entering the dungeon there with a group. You have the choice of entering the normal dungeon or the veteran version, this choice will affect if you can achieve the optional step and your rewards.

When inside the dungeon, you will need to progress through the dungeon, slaying the following bosses, Ulguna Soul-Reaver, Grothdarr, Iskra the Omen, and the Mad Architect. With the last boss, if you are in the veteran dungeon, you have the option of using the Scroll of Glorious Battle to put the boss in hard mode.

Once you have completed the task, you can return to Glirion the Redbeard at any of the Undaunted Enclaves, and speak with him to complete the quest:

"You do not howl, or claw at your face. Is it possible you bested the Vaults of Madness Undaunted."

I'm sane, and the Architect is dead.

"You have impressed me. To travel beyond Nirn. Best a menagerie of the foulest Daedra. Lost no part of yourself in the struggle. This is what it means to be Undaunted."

You honor me, Glirion. / What have I earned for besting the Vaults of Madness?

Normal mode completed	"What more is there to be said? Your actions speak for themselves. Let mine do the same. Take your key and your cut. Seek me again. There are more deeds to be met with deeds, not words."
Veteran mode completed	"I am glad you are sane enough still to appreciate the victory. Take your key and your cut. Drown any nightmares in rich drink and good company. Approach the new dawn with renewed verve and seek me again."
Veteran Hard Mode completed	"I envy your fortitude. That is not a compliment I share with any other of our lot. I am Undaunted, but not unscarred. I hope you will remain the indomitable model of our peers. Take your due and hope that dawn is the only thing to break tomorrow."

• 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.
