[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Boethiah's Request

One of the Daedra, Boethiah, has a shrine that's more than a bit tricky to find. Why? Because it sank to the ocean floor. Northwest of Hla Oad, on an island, there's a Daedric ruin called Ashurnibibi. If you check out the ocean a short distance west-north-west of the island, you'll find ruined Daedric buildings on the ocean's floor. Amongst them is the shattered shrine of Boethiah. You can click on Boethiah's head, located a short distance from the rest of the statue, and initiate the quest (map). If you have trouble finding the head, here are the coordinates: -65600, -27100, -1900.

[edit] Finding a Sculptor

He wants his shrine rebuilt, and sends you to Caldera to find a sculptor. Ask around and you'll be directed to a shopkeeper named Verick Gemain, who in turn directs you to an Orc in Ghorak Manor across the street from his shop. The Orc, Duma gro-Lag, is on the third floor of the manor and requires 2000 gold and a copy of a book on the shrine (Boethiah's Glory, available in Jobasha's Rare Books) to begin work. He tells you that it will take him several weeks to complete. Your journal should update automatically when it is time. On the GotY edition, it will take 21 days for the statue to be completed, unpatched versions can take up to 40 days.

[edit] Boethiah in All its Glory

At that time, head to the rebuilt shrine -- located at Khartag Point -- and click on the statue. Word of caution, though: the statue has to be totally built in order for you to activate it, so venturing two days after the sculptor gets there will be pointless. But do not wait too long, or you will not be able to get your reward. You'll be rewarded with Goldbrand, a one-handed longsword with impressive base damage and good fire damage.

[edit] Notes

• M'Aiq the Liar will tell you about this quest if you meet him on his island in the Sheogorad region.
• There is a bug in the quest which may make it impossible to receive the sword after the 45 days ^{[verification needed -- see talk page]}. If this happens, you can use the following console command to fix it:

player->additem "katana_goldbrand_unique", 1

• After doing this quest, check out the Shashev's Key quest for an Easter Egg which can give you an upgraded version of your sword.

Index	Journal Entry
10	I spoke to the khajiit M'aiq, and he gave me information on a sunken shrine to Boethiah off the coast near Hla Oad. It's difficult to know whether or not this is true. This khajiit seems to have a lot of ridiculous information.
20	I have found the sunken shrine to Boethiah and spoken to the Daedra. He is understandably upset that his shrine has been allowed to remain in ruins, and wishes for a new one to be erected. If I can get the shrine rebuilt, he will reward me with the Goldbrand, a legendary sword. My first step should be to find a sculptor.
30	Boethiah spoke in a riddle to me, to help me find the one who can recreate the shrine: Rough hands to smooth stone; Carving rock instead of bone; In Caldera an artist waits; His masterpiece to create
40	I have found a sculptor in Caldera. He is an orc named Duma gro-Lag.
45	I don't think this could be the sculptor I seek.
50	I have asked Duma gro-Lag about rebuilding the shrine to Boethiah. He has agreed that it would be a wonderful project to be a part of, but he will need 2000 septims for materials, and will need some idea of how the shrine should look. Duma suggests I seek out a book that describes the shrine as it once was. In the meantime, he will search the area for an appropriate place to build the shrine.
60	I have returned to Duma gro-Lag with the items he required to recreate the Shrine to Boethiah. He seemed excited to begin, but warned me it would take some weeks to complete.
61	Duma gro-Lag tells me his work is complete, and that the shrine is rebuilt.
70	I have returned to the completed Shrine to Boethiah. The Daedra seemed pleased with the work that has been done, and has rewarded me with Goldbrand, a truly spectacular weapon.
