Detailed WalkthroughEdit
While delivering the killing blow to the leader of the Mythic Dawn, Vonos, you feel something has gone wrong. His death has triggered the opening of the Oblivion Gate. Search his body to find his journal and read it to uncover the whole story and find you've been used to become the unwitting instrument of Mehrunes Dagon, resulting in the final opening of the gate. Enter the Deadlands by the portal to put an end to all of this.
In the Deadlands, aside from a strange flora and Fire Atronachs, you'll come across two powerful Daedra wielding equally powerful artifacts. They can be found by taking either of two forks in the road where it spans the lava pools. Beware the Spiddal Sticks flanking the right-hand path where it crosses the lava, as the poison Spiddal gas is difficult to avoid here.
Kill Valkyn Gatanas and his Daedric Horse (at the end of the left path) to retrieve Scourge. In one of the containers behind them is the Summon Daedric Horse spell tome.
Kill Valkyn Methats and his Flame Atronachs (found at the end of the right path, past the Spiddal Stick "gate") to retrieve Torment. This will put a stop to the invasion. Return to Tamriel and find a way out of Red Scar Cavern. This will complete the quest.
On your return to Tamriel, the Vigilants will be raiding the cavern and battling the Mythic Dawn a second time. If you attack either faction, they will become hostile.
NotesEdit
- After the quest is complete, the Oblivion Gate still remains open, allowing you to return and harvest the new flora. The surviving Vigilants will stay guarding the place to make sure nothing comes out or any Mythic Dawn comes back.

While attempting to stop the Mythic Dawn I myself became an unwitting instrument of Mehrunes Dagon. Killing their leader opened an Oblivion Gate leading into the Deadlands. There I vanquished two powerful Dremora and retrieved their weapons, preventing a siege. I escaped the Deadlands, and the Vigil of Stendarr have secured Red Scar Cavern. |
- 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 ccBGSSSE067_Quest2 stage, wherestageis 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 usingresetquest ccBGSSSE067_Quest2.
