Quick Walkthrough

2. Collect all ten pages.
3. Return to Jiub.

Detailed Walkthrough

You may have come across a few pages floating around during your regular Soul Cairn tasks. Talk to Jiub at any time to receive the quest, and return all ten pages to him when you have them. In return, he will give you the Locket of Saint Jiub and a complete copy of Saint Jiub's Opus.

Page	Location
Page One	At the massive wall that divides Soul Cairn roughly in half, find the opening near its center. Staying on the entrance (staircase) side, turn right, southeast, until you reach a staircase going up into the wall. Go up the stairs and the page will be right in front of you.
Page Two	To the left of the entrance to the Boneyard (where Valerica is) will be a small building with a broken Word Wall and a chest. Durnehviir may be sitting on the Word Wall. The page is right on the ground next to the chest.
Page Three	Before going through the opening in the wall dividing Soul Cairn, turn left and you will immediately see a small tower. It consists of only one chamber with a chest. Exit the chamber on the other side and you will find a small building with a floating soul gem. Go up the stairs and you will find the page next to the chest on top of the building.
Page Four	Stand at the entrance to the boneyard facing towards Valerica. Turn right and follow the outside of the Boneyard wall until you reach a building. Head up the stairs and turn left to go up another set of stairs to a chest. The page is next to the chest.
Page Five	South of where Jiub is sitting at his campfire there is a raised stone floor with an energy well in the middle. Page five is on the floor by the well next to some assorted soul gems and other treasure.
Page Six	From the entrance to the Soul Cairn, follow the path past the building where page eight is found (see below), and enter the second building on the right, a small tower with a Soul Well outside. The page in inside next to a chest in a corner.
Page Seven	From where you found page four, head due east to the edge of the map and up some stairs up to a platform to find the Spell Tome: Conjure Mistman on a pedestal. Page seven and a bag of coins are on the ground at the base of the pedestal.
Page Eight	When you first enter the Soul Cairn, go into the building on the right. It requires you to shoot a projectile (spell or arrow) through the green orbs to enter.
Page Nine	Head west from the entrance to the Boneyard (Valerica's location) until you hit a building with one of the massive floating soul gems above it. Take a right (towards north) to find another large soul gem floating above an even bigger building. There are several chests in this building which is a small maze, but continue until you reach the glowing symbol on the floor; a teleporting device. Stand on it to go up to the roof. The page will be next to the chest at the top of the building directly under the gem. There are no stairs to get back down so you have to jump.
Page Ten	Go through the dividing wall. On your right a short way there is Morven Stroud sitting. The page is on a barrel next to him.

Page Locations

Notes

• It is not necessary for you to obtain this quest for the pages to appear; they can be gathered first before speaking to Jiub.
• Jiub is located in the Boneyard side of the Soul Cairn in the southeast. South-southeast of him is a tall tower with a glowing/flaming top where one of the Keepers is to be found.

Bugs

• The 9th page may or may not appear.
  • Try using an explosion type spell (e.g. fireball) a couple of times on the spot it's supposed to be at. This should cause the page to be knocked down to the ground floor of the maze, directly beneath the archway and make it retrievable.
  • Alternatively, if you are on the PC, you can simply use the player.additem command in console to add it. The page's item code is xx014018, where the xx will be different depending on your load order.
• Occasionally the 6th page will not appear in it's location. ^?
  • Leaving and re-entering the Soul Cairn has been known to resolve this issue.

Quest Stages

Impatience of a Saint (DLC1VQSaint)
Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
20		While exploring the Soul Cairn, I've come across the soul of a strange Dunmer named Jiub. He claims to be writing the second volume of his life's story but lacks the notes from his first in order to complete it. He's asked for my help in locating the pages which are likely spread across the entire Soul Cairn... quite a daunting task. (Objective is assigned): Find pages from Saint Jiub's Opus (<Global=DLC1VQSaintCount>/<Global=DLC1VQSaintTotal>)
30		I've located all of the notes that Jiub lost when he arrived in the Soul Cairn. I should return them to him when I get the chance. (Objective is assigned): Return to Jiub
200		I've returned all of Jiub's lost notes to the poor soul. He presented me with an an [sic] amulet and a pristine copy of his first volume in appreciation for my efforts.

• The following empty quest stages were omitted from the table: 0, 10.

 

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• 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 any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• 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 DLC1VQSaint 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, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest DLC1VQSaint.
