Quick Walkthrough

Detailed Walkthrough

Talking to any innkeeper can give you this quest, they will hand you a letter that explains that a group of bandits have stolen the Headman's Cleaver of the Bloodfall Kingdom. Once you have read the letter, travel to Lost Knife Hideout. Within this huge cave system, fight off the Greencap Bandits and eventually towards the final area, there’ll be a huge chamber full of cages. This is where the culprit resides. Defeat the Thief in Orcish armor, “Darkwater Snake” and loot his body for the stolen cleaver.

Bugs

• It is possible that the letter by Shorgarz gro-Batul doesn't appear in the player's inventory after getting the quest. A workaround is either to setstage ccBGSSSSE068_Quest 30 or player.additem FExxx801 1 ^?

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, 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.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage ccBGSSSE068_Quest stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest ccBGSSSE068_Quest.
