Quest 11: Blood of the Divines - Complete Solution


Quest 11

Active Quest: Blood of the Divines


Begin with the Quest, ‘Blood of the Divines’ and forget about Jauffre’s Quest for the moment. Enquire about the ‘Armour of Tiber Septim’ to update on the current Quest in hand. Exit the Temple and make your way towards ‘Sancre Tor’ SW of your current position.

Sancre Tor

Once you reach Sancre Tor ruins, you’ll be required to take out a few minor Skeletons that patrol this area; dispose of the bones one by one and then walk into the main complex of the ruins.



Once inside, search the premises for some nice items – search the two chests on the higher levels – and then locate the door to the ‘Sancre Tor’ on the SE side. Use the ‘Key’ that you received earlier to unlock the door and head inside.

Note: Before we proceed, everything within these ruins are spirits of some sort and can only be hit with weapons of ‘Silver’, ‘Daedra’ or ‘Bound’; bare this in mind!

Once inside, head forwards down the steps, and take out the lone ‘Ancient Ghost’ towards the bottom. Collect the ‘Ectoplasm’ from the Ghost’s remnants and then continue down the next flight of steps and head through the door towards the end of the next corridor. Head round the corner to your left and take care of the lone Ghost here. Continue forwards and dispose of the ‘Faded Wraith’ up ahead. Descend the next set of steps and collect the goods from the chest located in the small inlet to you’re your left – watch out for the dart-trap on either side of the wall! Advance down the hallway to the NW, head through the door and down the subsequent flight of steps.



Take out the Faded Wraith and Ghost situated round the following corner and then activate the ‘Pull Lever’ to open up the gate in front. Follow the corridor right round and take out the lone ‘Undead Blade’ situated at the top of the following set of steps. After you defeat the un-dead, the ‘Ghost of Rielus’ will appear and thank you for freeing him. Ask him all the relevant question on screen and then search the remains of the skeleton to obtain a rare necklace! Once you’re done here, collect the items from the three chests in this area and then follow the Ghost across the bridge to the SE. Head down the next flight of steps and through the door at the end leading you into the ‘Entry Hall’

Sancre Tor, Entry Hall

Once inside, head into the large circular platform in the centre of this room and deal with the Faded Wraith here. Head back up to the higher level and take out the next Faded Wraith to the SW.



Once you’ve cleared out this room of all hostile forces, advance down the NW tunnel and head through the door towards the end.

Sancre Tor, Hall of Judgement

Head up the small set of steps in front and take care of the lone Wraith to your right. Forget about the left path for the moment, instead, make your way up the steps to your right. Take care of the lone Ghost up ahead and continue down the corridor, through the next door and deal with the solitary Wraith here! Advance further down the hall, and deal with the next lone Wraith located in the following room. Collect the items from the chest on this higher level and then make your way down the SE tunnel towards the opposite end. Head across the small stone-bridge and collect the supplies from within the two chests. Retrace your steps back to the stairs and head down them. Deal with the next lone Wraith to your right and proceed SW through the next door. Continue down the tunnel, open the chest towards the end and then head into the large open room down below. Here you’ll locate the next Undead Blade; attack him with everything you got and put him out of his misery quickly!



Once you’ve freed his soul, make sure you collect his weapon and then search the two chests in the subsequent smaller room. Once you’re finished in here, retrace your steps all the way back to the junction where you had the opportunity to go left or right and this time take the left path, and deal with the lone Wraith through the following set of doors! Head round the large stone pillar in the centre of this room and make your way through the door to the SW and take dispose of the Faded Wraith here. Proceed down the step in front and head through the door leading you into the Catacombs.

Sancre Tor, Catacombs

Once inside the Catacombs, you’ll be required to deal the third Undead Blade; again, take him out to successfully free him and then collect his weapons if needs be. Before leaving this area, make sure that search the chest in the far North corner to obtain the rare ‘Ring of Willpower’ and ‘Aegis Robe’ – extremely useful items for Mage’s! Now then, make your way up the steps and head down the following corridor. Collect the items from the two chests in front and take out the lone Faded Wraith to your right. Walk up the steps to your left and deal with Ghost situated towards the top. Head back down the steps and follow the tunnel NW down into an eerie room. Make your way round the pillars and head down the SW path. Deal with the Faded Wraith round the following corner and then advance further down the passageway. Head round the next corner and dispose of the lone Ghost here. Proceed up the steps and cross the stone-bridge to position you at the top. Follow the winding passage through to the subsequent room and deal with the two Wraiths and the Ghost within this chamber. Once you’ve cleared out this area, search the chest positioned behind the statue to the NW and then advance down the SE tunnel. Make your way towards the far end and then head through the door, leading you back into the ‘Entry Hall’.

Sancre Tor, Entry Hall

Hop into the water and then jump back up onto the circular platform in the centre of the room.



Make your way back up to the higher level and then proceed down the East tunnel and through the door towards the end, leading into the ‘Prison’.

Sancre Tor, Prison

Head down the first of set of steps just inside the door, and follow the corridor round towards the gate. Take out the lone Ghost here and then activate the lever to open up the gate in front. Advance forwards and turn the right corner where another Ghost’ll approach you; take him out and then continue up the steps. Deal with the Skeleton located towards the top, collect the ‘Warden Kastav’s Key’ and then open the locked door with it, leading you into the subsequent passageway. Descend the small flight of steps and dispose of the lone Wraith towards the bottom.



Turn down the tunnel to your right and collect the items from the chest in the small cell and then return to the junction. This time, make your way further down the East path and then turn left at the following junction to collect the goods from the chest positioned just outside of the next cell. Advance South and then deal with Wraith to your right. You can now sleep off any injuries if you so wish by heading into the room on your left. Once you’ve finished and rested up if needs be, proceed further down the South tunnel and dispose of the next Wraith up ahead. Continue down the East tunnel now and deal with Ghost positioned at the bottom of the following set of steps. Turn left and advance forwards into the subsequent room where you’ll locate the final Undead Blade on the lower level. Dispose of him quickly and make sure that you collect the rare shield that he drops! Search all the chests on this floor and then head back up to the higher level and retrace your steps back to the ‘Entry Hall’.

Sancre Tor, Entry Hall

Once you re-enter the Entry Hall, make your way back down to the circular platform and this time, head through the door towards the very bottom, leading you into the ‘Tomb of the Reman Emperors’.



Sancre Tor, Tomb of the Reman Emperors

As you enter, you’ll see the four Ghosts of the Ancient Blades that you previously freed standing just in front of the cursed path leading into the Shrine of Tiber Septim. Remain here for a few seconds until they dispel the curse. Once the spell has been shattered, advance down the tunnel and collect the Armour of Tiber Septim from the small stand up ahead. Once you’ve successfully acquired the necessary item, retrace your steps back to the main entrance and exit, back outside into the open!

Jerall Mountains

Once you’re back outside, I’d advise you, like always, to sell up or store away any rare items that you may have obtained on your Quest inside the ruins of Sancre Tor before making your way back up towards Cloud Ruler Temple.

Cloud Ruler Temple

Once you’ve stored your goods or sold up at one of the major cities, head back to Cloud Ruler Temple, up the main steps and make your way into the Temple itself.



Locate Martin who should be in the Great Hall like usual – unless he’s asleep – and inform him about the ‘Armour of Tiber Septim’.
