Quest 6: The Path of Dawn - Complete Solution

After the rather moving words from Martin, talk to Jauffre to update your Quest and ask any questions that you may have.



He’ll then ask you to join ‘The Blades’ and offer your service whenever he requires them. If you’re up for joining a faction –which I advise you to be - then accept the offer and receive the ‘Akaviri Katana’ sword of ‘The Blades’!

Quest 6
Active Quest: The Path of Dawn


Once you’re finished here, you’re ready to set off on the next part of your Quest to the ‘Imperial City, Elvin Gardens District’; however, if you decided to accept the offer to join ‘The Blades’ then first of all I’d stock up on supplies from inside the temple itself. Now that you’re a member of ‘The Blades’ anything you take from within the temple, isn’t classified as being stolen, so search the premises for weapons and armour such as ‘Blades Grieves’ and ‘Blades Boots’ etc and then continue with the Quest in hand.

Imperial City, Elven Garden District

When you reach the Elven Garden District, locate ‘Luther Broad’s Boarding House’, walk in and speak to Baurus – you’ll locate him sat down, drinking at the bar. Long time no see Baurus! Sit down, listen to his plan and follow his instructions. It’s too risky to talk here, so wait until he gets up and leaves, at which point, quickly and quietly follow ‘Astav Wirich’ – the suspicious man sat reading his book – down into the ‘Basement’. Follow him down the small flight of steps and wait until he reveals himself as another Mythic Dawn Agent, at which point, help Baurus take him out! Once you’ve killed the assassin, search the body; collect the ‘Mythic Dawn Commentaries 1’ book and head back over to Baurus with the new information. Once he’s informed you of what to do next, exit the tavern and head SE to ‘The Arcane University’ in the Imperial City.

Imperial City, The Arcane University

Once you enter the Arcane University section of the Imperial City, walk forwards up the small flight of steps and head into the ‘Arch-Mage’s Lobby’ directly in front.

Arch-Mage’s Lobby



Once inside the mystical building, go speak with ‘Tar-Meena’ - the ‘Argonian’ sat on the bench in front. Ask him about the ‘Mythic Dawn’ cult to receive some useful information and in turn, update your Quest. Acquire the second edition of the ‘Mythic Dawn Commentaries’ and then ask any question that you may have on the matter at hand. Once you’re finished, exit the building and make your way towards the ‘Market District’, again, still located in the Imperial City itself.

Imperial City, Market District

Once you enter the Marker District, locate the ‘Fist Edition’ bookstore, and speak to ‘Ontus Vanin’ who’s standing just outside. Ask him about the ‘Daedra Shrines’ to update your world map, and then enter the shop. Once inside, speak to the man behind the counter and ask about the ‘Mysterium Xarxes’. You’ll then be informed that another customer has already ordered the book you’re currently in search for, damn! Ask all the following questions that appear on screen, paying close attention to the ‘Gwinas’ statement on screen! The customer, ‘Gwinas’ is on his way to collect the book shortly, so it’d be a good idea to remain here until he arrives! Quickly exit the building and wait for a red-robed man to arrive – Gwinas -, at which point, follow him back into the shop and listen to the conversation that soon takes place. Shortly after, he leaves the shop with the book. Talk to him and persuade him to give you the book. Inform him that the Daedra Cult killed the Emperor and he will hand over the book in a panic. Once you’ve successfully obtained the third book, enquire about the fourth to receive direction to the Mythic Dawn ‘Sponser’. Now, before setting off in search for the fourth book, quickly open up all three books and read them if you wish; if you don’t fancy the read, simply open them up individually to increase your skills!



Once you’re done, travel back to the ‘Elven Garden District’ in the Imperial City and locate Baurus once again, in ‘Luther Broad’s Boarding House’ and inform him about the next part of the plan!

Imperial City, Elven Garden District

Once you’ve updated him, he’ll lead you to the entrance to the ‘Elven Garden Sewers’. Follow him and enter the small tunnel located next to the well.

Elven Garden Sewers

Now then, walk forwards into the sinister passageway and make your way down the steps in front. Baurus should now take the SE tunnel, however, sometimes he may take the NW tunnel. There is no telling which way he will choose; it’s whatever he decides on the day! Usually he decides on the SE one, so we’ll work from this way. Ultimately they lead to the same destination anyway!

South East Tunnel

Follow him down the SE tunnel and take out the two Crabs scurrying about located towards the end. Baurus will then activate the lever on the wall to open the door in front, at which point, head through, follow the passageway round and deal with the lone Rat to your left.



Open up the Gate located down the next short tunnel and walk through into the subsequent room. Dispose of the two Crabs inside and continue following the sewer through to the next area. Deal with the solitary Crab here and then open subsequent door up ahead.

Sewer Waterworks

Help out with the next two Crabs just inside the following room and advance down the East tunnel where you’ll locate another two scampering around in the sewage below. Hop into the water and follow it South where a lone ‘Goblin Skirmisher’ will suddenly attack you. Deal with him and proceed forwards, following Baurus at all times. Take out the Crab located just beyond the next tunnel and then head up the small flight of steps where another Goblin will attack. Aid Baurus in dealing with him and advance further down the Sewer until your reach the Goblin’s unattractive encampment! Take out the lone Goblin Skirmisher here and trail Baurus up the long flight of steps and into the next area. There’s another Goblin up here, so help defeat him and collect the items afterwards – if you’re lucky, you may receive a ‘Dwarven War Axe’! Proceed across the well-lit bridge and collect the potions from the chest located in the subsequent room. Advance down the North tunnel and head through the door towards the end.

The Elven Garden Sewers

Take care of the lone Crab inside and then hop down into the water, following it round to the NE. Dispose of the next Crab that comes your way and then head into the tunnel up ahead. Deal with the Rat located on the higher level to your left and then open the Gate to the NW. Located just beyond the gate is the door to the Sunken Sewers.



Just outside the door leading into the Sunken Sewers, you’ll have to decide who has the meeting and who’s backup. It doesn’t really matter who does what as it all amounts to the same result anyway. Baurus will insist that he meets, however, if you insist that you want the responsibility more than once, then he’ll give in and cover you from above once inside!

Sunken Sewers

Enter through the door and sit down at the table just up ahead. Shortly after, Raven Cameron will appear form the gate to your left and spark up a conversation with you. He’ll circle you for a short while whilst talking, before Raven’s men locate Baurus hiding up on the overhead platform. Immediately after, it all kicks off! Two Assassins drop down from the top and another comes from the gate to your left. Cast some powerful protection spells and begin the fight! This is a fairly tough battle due to the number of enemies, however, try backing yourself in the far corner and take on one at a time whilst Baurus deals with the rest; he can handle himself! Once you’ve defeated the first, move onto the next and continue the fight like this. Once you’ve taken out all hostiles – including Raven - search the bodies for some rare items – rings and such – and then search Raven’s body for the final ‘Book’. Talk to Baurus and he’ll inform you that he’s heading back to ‘Cloud Ruler Temple’, as his place is by Martin’s side; a loyal soldier this one! Now that you’ve successfully recovered all four of the ‘Books’ you need to make your way back to ‘The Arcane University’, so, proceed through the North Gate that Raven came through and head up the steps in front. When you enter the Assassins hideout located towards the top of the steps, search around for numerous useful items, and plenty of gold! Once you’re finished exploring, advance through North tunnel and follow it round to the next locked door. Use the ‘Key’ that you acquired from Raven to pass through and then head towards the opposite end of next long passageway.

Talos Plaza Sewers

When you reach the opposite end of the tunnel, two Goblin Berserkers will come through and pick a fight; cast some protection spells and take them out before entering into the next room.



Take out the Crabs inside and then search the chests for the items and gold. When you’re finished in this room, activate the lever on the West wall and head through the now-opened door. Follow the corridor through and proceed up the next flight of steps. Take out the Goblin towards the top and continue through the subsequent tunnel. Before exiting the Sewers, quickly open up the gate in front, take out the Rat inside and follow the tunnel through to the next gate. Again, open it up and take the steps to the bottom where you’ll locate a small chest. Open up the chest and collect the rare ‘Dwarven Greaves’ from inside! Now, retrace your steps back to the previous set of steps, climb them, and then take the ladder to the top leading you into ‘Dynari Amnis’ Basement’. Once out of the sewers, walk up the stairs, through the door towards the top and watch the confused look on Dynari’s face as you - a suspicious figure – pops out of a one-way basement!? Once out of the basement, exit the building and make your way back out into the Imperial City, Talos Plaza District.

Imperial City, Talos Plaza District.

“Sigh”, daylight, fresh air, so good to be back outside! Right then, like I stated previously, your next destination is ‘The Arcane University’, SE of your current position, so chop, chop.



Sell up any unwanted items and then make your way towards the University. Head into the ‘Arch-Mage’s Lobby’ and speak with Tar-Meena once again.

Arch-Mage’s Lobby

Inform him about the ‘Mythic Dawn’ to receive some useful information on your current Quest! He’ll then ask you to return tomorrow after he’s studied the books some more, so ‘Wait’ for 24 hours and return to his position. Again, ask about the ‘Mythic Dawn’ and this time he’ll tell you that the first sentence from each book has a relevance to the next part of your Quest! ‘Wait’ another 24 hours and speak with him for the third time after he’s discovered more from the text. Ask about the ‘Mythic Dawn’ once again to receive an update on your next destination! Once you’ve done this, exit the building and head straight for the ‘Imperial City, Palace’.

Imperial City, Palace

When you reach the Palace, locate the ‘Tomb of Prince Camarril’ and ‘Wait’ until midday, as that’s what the clues in the four books informs you to do. Once midday comes, the Tomb will glow a florescent red, at which point, activate it to obtain the map leading you to the Mythic Dawn Shrine – the ‘Dragon Shrine’.
