Skyrim talk:Sacellum of Boethiah

Stuck at shrine

unsure as to what is supposed to happen at this daedric shrine. Everybody is dead, burnt alive it seems. A pillar pops up in front of the statue, you can make a follower use it and they get sucked in, a ball of magic surrounds them. If you kill them it seems to "activate", letters on the floor light up, but nothing actually happens. A bug perhaps? Follower didnt seem to react either, carried on talking like nothing was happen while she was pinned to the pillar. Innovacious 08:12, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

I tried that and it summoned Boethia. Not sure if it was fixed in a stealth patch or if your game just bugged. Might want to try again.--Volkrov 08:55, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I don't know what I did different, but in my second playthrough, the area was populated. Still full of corpses, but also alive cultists, including a priestess that starts the quest. Basically, you make a follower touch the Pillar, then kill them with a blade the priestess gives you, and it summons the Daedra. Before going to the shrine, I cleared the nearby bandit camp - Traitor's Post or similar name. Maybe it's related to the lack of NPCs at the shrine. Malko050987 14:22, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

well, after quite a while i was randomly attacked by a cultist who dropped a book which started a quest, when i went back to the shrine it was populated and the sacrifice works now. I guess i just got there before i was meant to. Innovacious 10:20, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, seems place only gets populated once you got the quest active (I found it before finding the quest too and it was empty as the tenth circle of hell) I found this on the other TESWiki, someone might want to check if it's true and add it to the article =] -- 189.33.183.203 05:58, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
