[edit] Finishing Quest Early?

However, this can be used to your advantage, if you slay the Unicorn before you are level 17 and take the horn you can return to the Shrine and start Hircine's quest and instantly finish it.

I can't find any confirmation of this information. Checking the scripts, I don't see any loopholes that start the quest if you kill the unicorn. And checking in-game, my level 12 character got the Unicorn Horn, went to Hircine's shrine and... nothing. Can anyone provide any extra details, or is this just fiction? --Nephele^Talk 03:39, 26 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Killing the Unicorn with fall damage

It's safe and easy, and takes almost no skill -- but will it work for someone with really low Acrobatics? Or, perhaps a better question: is it possible to take fall damage while on horseback?

Yes, for the horse. 99.238.44.36 06:41, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Glitches in game?

Is this the guy who gives you the stone dog thing? I heard there was a glitch for one of them, it was him or Clavicus Vile. Please let me know so I can avoid the crash! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.218.105.220 (talk • contribs).

No, this is Hircine. You are refering to Barbas, Clavicus Vile's dog. Try checking out his page. --SerCenKing 04:53, 7 March 2009 (EST)

[edit] Glitch

(moved from the article)

Rode the unicorn early in the game and placed him in the corral at Cheydinhal. Later found the Shrine of Hircine and started the quest. The map shows a green arrow in the forest near the road just southwest of Cheydinhal, but the unicorn is not there. He is also no longer in the corral or in Harcane Grove. The green arrow never moves. My advice....either wait to mess with the unicorn until after starting this quest or have your fun with him and them kill him and take his horn for later.
