[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Hurry!

Shortly after imbuing the Staff of Sheogorath, you will be summoned by the Captain of the Palace Guard. Speaking with her, she will inform you that an Obelisk of Order has activated within the Palace Courtyard. You must lead the defense and halt the invasion.

[edit] Closing the Obelisks

The Obelisk will be well defended by Knights of Order. With the assistance of the Palace Guard, fight your way to the Obelisk and deactivate it via the conventional means. Whether or not you deactivate the first Obelisk, soon enough a second Obelisk on the opposite side of the courtyard will activate. You must deactivate both Obelisks in the normal way.

[edit] The Final Stand

After the second Obelisk has been deactivated, all the remaining Knights disappear. In an explosion of blue light, Jyggalag himself will appear on the battlefield in short order, and will kill any soldiers you have remaining. You must defeat him with the remainder of the Palace Guard (if they last that long). Jyggalag resembles a gigantic Knight of Order, and is capable of wielding his eponymous claymore with a single hand. He also possesses a ranged Shock damage spell, a touch spell that inflicts Frost damage and Absorb Health damage and a custom Restore Health ability. In addition to possessing a considerable bulwark of hitpoints, he also has a 25 point Resistance to Magic and is immune to Paralysis, the Wabbajack and the Staff of Sheogorath.

Defeat Jyggalag through whatever means necessary and listen to his final speech, at the conclusion of which, he will disappear forever. Return to Haskill.

[edit] Notes

If you are having difficulty fighting Jyggalag, his large size prevents him from entering two interior corners on the second level of the Courtyard.

The deactivated Obelisks may contain some valuable loot.

Occasionally, the bodies of several Order Priests will permanently remain in the courtyard after Jyggalag has been defeated.

Several other NPCs such as Kithlan, Anya Herrick or Wide Eye may be present in the Courtyard during the quest. They will be generally unhelpful in the battle, although they may distract either the Knights or Jyggalag.

If you use the Staff of Sheogorath on Jyggalag, Jyggalag will get a red color around him (as if you cast a red shock spell on him). The Staff doesn't freeze him like it normally does to other creatures, but it will allow you to paralyze him! So use the staff first and then you can use a paralyzing spell.

Once you enter the palace courtyard and start this quest, it is not possible to re-enter the surrounding buildings until the quest has been completed. Characters who are vampires or otherwise affected by Sun Damage may want to choose to complete this quest at night.

It is actually possible to avoid this quest when approached by the messenger if you are the Duke/Duchess of Dementia by going through Xirethard. If you do this, you will be unable to enter the courtyard by Bliss or Crucible and will have to go back through Xirethard if you wish to do so.

[edit] Bugs

If you have a bounty at the start of this quest and you talk to one of the palace guards, selecting Pay Gold or Go To Jail will spawn you outside of the palace and will not be able to get back in to complete the quest. Trying to fast travel to the palace grounds will result in a message saying you cannot fast travel from this location. If you try and go through one of the doors, you will fall through the wall and outside of the normal game map area and be stuck.

This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.

Notes

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 random order.
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 SE13 stage. Where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
