Bugs

Note: All the bugs described below have been fixed in game version 1.9

The Amulet of Talos is considered a quest item in the task of the little girl Svarri, a relative of Roggvir, who was executed in Solitude. The quest is buggy: if you immediately take the amulet from the corpse, and then complete her task, then the quest will never be completed, except through the console.

Important: Fixed in unofficial version 1.0 patch

If there is more than one amulet in the inventory, the quest will never close. If you do not take the task at all, the amulets will accumulate in the inventory and they can neither be sold nor thrown away. The only consolation is that upon fulfilling the conditions of the quest, the amulets will probably be thrown out of the inventory, but the task will still not be completed (although it will be completed).

• A possible solution to the problem: throw all the Talos amulets out of inventory in Greta's field of vision, she herself will run up and ask if she can pick it up, after which she herself will pick it up.

Important: Fixed in unofficial patch version 1.2.2

Because of the same bug, it is impossible to create an altar of Talos in the basement of the estate in Hearthfire: if the hero has at least a hundred amulets in his inventory, the crafting menu will not “see” them.

Bug avoidance method:

1. Talk to Svarri (little girl) about the fact that her mother no longer goes to the temple.
2. Go to her mother, Greta, and talk to her about her brother, Roggvir.
3. As soon as an answer option appears, similar to " And I already have an amulet”, you need to exit the dialog ( Tab). Answer DO NOT! This leads to a bug.
4. With the help of the console, you need to reduce the number of amulets to one (if there are a lot of them), change the quest stage to 20 (setStage SolitudeFreeform03 20) and immediately move it further to 30 (setStage SolitudeFreeform03 30).
5. Talk to Greta, give the remaining amulet.
6. Attention: This bug has not been fixed in the latest versions of the game.
7. In order to still build the altar of Talos, you need to perform a small series of operations: move to Solitude, go to Greta's house and, having opened the console, click on Greta (to display her ID) and enter kill Greta dies, after which you need to move to the estate, build an altar (with the death of Greta, the crafting menu will recognize the amulet) and return back to Solitude. Arriving at the house, you need to go to Greta, click on her (with the console turned on) so that her ID is displayed, and enter resurrect . Greta is resurrected, the altar is built (no negative consequences after death and resurrection were noticed).

Today we'll talk about one of Skyrim's quest items - the Talos amulet. Amulets belong to the category that can both protect their owner and significantly enhance his magical talents. Due to their properties, these gizmos can be useful for characters of absolutely all classes.

The Talos Amulet from Skyrim was blessed by Talos the Dragonborn himself, the greatest God-hero and protector of all mankind. Perhaps one of its main effects is considered to be a 20% reduction in the time between Tu "minds". As we said earlier, this necklace is a quest item that can be obtained after completing several different tasks. We will talk about them below.

Quest "Search and Arrest"

The first task, during which you can come across the amulet of Talos, in Skyrim is offered by the city of Markarth. We leave for the location Understone fortress, where we will meet with the Thalmor Justicar named Ondolemar. He will offer to carry out a small assignment, during which we will have to follow a certain bard. The main goal of the quest is to find some evidence that the bard Ogmund is engaged in the worship of Talos.

The fact is that the Empire considers Talos a forbidden god, therefore, in accordance with the White-Gold Concordat, any worship of Talos is prohibited. Despite these restrictions, many places in Skyrim still retain their former faith, and people continue to visit the Sanctuaries.

"Search and Arrest": in search of evidence

The item that will help to compromise Ogmund is, of course, the amulet of Talos from Skyrim. It is located in a chest inside the character's private house located in Markarth. We recommend waiting for the moment when Ogmund goes about his business, since after that it is simply impossible to open the chest without attracting attention.

We pick up the little thing and go to a meeting with Ondolemar. Congratulations, the passage of one of the Skyrim quests with the Talos amulet will be considered completed! As a reward, we will receive a sum of money, which will depend on the level of the character, and (perhaps to someone) an unpleasant feeling from the fact that he played the role of a snitch. At the same time, relations with Ondolemar will improve significantly - we will definitely use this bonus when completing the "Diplomatic Immunity" task.

If you don’t really want to inform on Ogmund, then you can try to kill Ondolemar - then the quest will be considered canceled. This is unlikely to be done in stealth, but you can try to attack at the moment when the target is in the room next to the legate along with two other soldiers. Unfortunately, no one will appreciate this act of nobility, and the character will be left without all the above awards.

Quest "Return the favor of the Gods"

During our very first visit to Solitude, an execution scene will unfold at the main gate. It turns out that the name of the person sentenced to beheading is Roggvir, who was accused of aiding the Stormcloaks. We will talk with local residents about the crime and how they themselves relate to what happened.

The day after the execution, we will meet the girl Svari, from a conversation with which we learn that Roggvir was her uncle. Svari is still unaware of the execution that has taken place, she is worried that her mother no longer visits the Temple of the Gods since Roggvir went missing. We go in search of the poor woman.

Greta has stopped appearing on the city streets, and prefers to be in her house. We will talk to her and find out that she is not completely against the idea of ​​​​returning to the Temple, but after the execution of Roggvir, she can no longer worship Talos. To somehow get around this ban, Greta needs a special amulet.

"Return the favor of the Gods": where to find the amulet of Talos in Skyrim?

By this time, the body of Greta's deceased brother will already lie in the catacombs. We go towards the Hall of the Dead (a mark will appear on the map) and go inside from the side of the city. We examine the catacombs - next to the entrance, on the left side, there will be a coffin with the body of Roggvir. We pick up the Talos amulet and return to Greta, who is waiting for us. A grateful woman will report that now she can return to the Temple of the Gods.

It is worth noting that sometimes there is a bug due to which players cannot complete this quest. We advise you not to pick up the Talos amulet before talking with Greta, otherwise you simply won’t be able to give it back.

The use of talismans in the correct ratio with the rest of the character's things can significantly improve many basic characteristics, allowing you to get a significant bonus in the further development of the main character.

Below we will consider several features of various relics, among which you will need to choose exactly what will best suit the needs of the player. An example is the Amulet of Talas. Each deity in the game has its own representation in the form of relics, medallions, and various useful items. Wearing a similar item on himself, the player receives a blessing from the corresponding deity. Therefore, one should not use things from several higher creatures at once, this will only cause a consistent decrease in many important characteristics. In fact, it is not at all easy to forge the Amulet of Talas according to the quest in Skyrim, it is much easier to find it in the Windy Peak, steal it from the guards of Talas, or, while completing quests for the empire, pick up this little thing from the fallen storm brothers, their number will be huge.

The main effect of the artifact is the ability to reduce the execution time of shouts, by about 20%. Yes, it's not much, but the opportunity is still nice. It also makes no sense to take the quest itself, since it is easier to quickly knock it out of the above characters.

The Strange Amulet of Zenithar in Skyrim is another representative of these precious gizmos. It is worth noting that almost all of them can be sold well to merchants, with the corresponding skill pumped. It’s better to forget about the production of items yourself right away, because there are many other ways to quickly find and get them. Its use improves the quality of trading, since prices in stores are sharply reduced by 10% at once. Separately, the quest for the Blacksmith's Amulet can be completed to get another funny little thing. All Amulets IDs in Skyrim are detailed in the corresponding game database, which provides detailed information about various game items. The use of ID is very typical when working with the map editor, when the user gets the opportunity to place artifacts in various chests, on any territory available for passage. Should I collect the Amulet of Saarthal in Skyrim? Inside the tomb where the excavation is being carried out, the player can find various parts of it, which can then be used to collect such a unique item. It is noted that these parts do not exist at all during each passage, the algorithm for their appearance is still not fully understood by users.

Where can I find the Necromancer's Amulet? In one of the lockers, during the passage of the quest "Blood on the Snow", such a valuable item can be found. Use is very typical for obtaining additional skills and bonus features. All 3 parts of the Amulet can be assembled from fragments. Initially, the player cannot get an unlimited number of relics, however, in some mods for the game, such an opportunity is provided, almost cheating. To use it or not - each gamer decides for himself, however, leveling a character when using several artifacts at once is greatly simplified, becomes boring and uninteresting.

Bruni sat on the porch of their old house in Riverwood and played with an unpainted horse. The horse had a disheveled washcloth tail and an intelligent muzzle with round fish eyes. “Son, put away the toy,” said the mother. She returned with a basket full of fish, the scaly backs of the trout glistening and shimmering in the sun. But she did not come alone: ​​after her, a tall man with a mealy face and inexpressive bulging eyes of a fish, just like those of a toy horse, stepped into the gate. We have an important guest. Mom and the mealy man stopped two steps away from Bruni, who put the toy on the step and began to look at the newcomer with interest. He was dressed in the armor of the Imperial Legion with a skirt of leather bands, boots and a breastplate with many beautiful, but incomprehensible badges. "Remember when I said your father died in captivity in the Thalmor?" the mother asked sternly. - So this is Captain Kunzius. She and her father were there together. Captain Kunzius nodded and, with a loose gait, with an embarrassed gap-toothed smile that stretched his pale, wrinkled face like a sheet hung out to dry on a sunny day, went up to Bruni and squatted next to him, spreading his bony knees. “Hi, little legionnaire,” he said, blinking his faded eyes. - I heard a lot about you from your father - we spent five years together in the Thalmor hell. I hope you don't have to experience this. Two people who have gone through something like this have a connection, - Captain Kunzius thoughtfully chewed his lips and unexpectedly accurately spat in the direction of a beautiful thin stream of yellowish saliva. Bruni opened his eyes wide - he himself would like to learn how to spit so far and deftly. - If then I died - Major Knud would come to my son, But it just so happened that I'm talking to you. Bruni,” the captain sighed noisily, blowing his sour breath over the boy with a taste of sorrel soup and a rotten tooth, “I have a package for you. Digging through the waist pockets of his wide belt, Captain Kunzius pulled out a worn piece of wood on a chewed leather cord. Bruni's eyes lit up: "Like two axes put together and a spear smashing our enemies" - in the hands of the legionary was the mysterious and forbidden amulet of Talos, the ultimate dream of any village boy who had heard enough from the bard from the local tavern stories about the former greatness of Skyrim. “This amulet,” the captain began, holding the piece of wood between his fingers, “your great-grandfather also received from the hands of the priest of Talos before he went to Cyrodiil to fight the Daedra during the Oblivion Crisis - heard of this, kid? Bruni nodded, and Kunzius continued with satisfaction: - This is the battle amulet of your heroic great-grandfather. Then he passed it on to your grandfather, who passed it on to his son, your father. When your father - along with me - went to the Thalmor POW camp, he knew that if the pointy-ears found the amulet, they would confiscate it - that is, take it away. And he didn't want the smelly elves to touch the amulet with their unwashed yellow hands, you know? The captain looked into the boy's eyes. - Then he decided to hide it in the safest place - in his ass. He walked around with the amulet of Talos in his ass until his death, and when he died, he gave the amulet to me, and I hid it already in my ass. But now, when the war is over, and I, unlike your father - Nine God rest his soul - have returned here to fulfill my promise, this great amulet is yours, - with these words, the sincere Captain Kunzus took Bruni by the hand and put it into his sweaty a small hand flat piece of wood Talos amulet. Bruni yelled and woke up from his own scream. For some time he sat on the bed and stared at the icy wall of the barracks of Windhelm Castle. After catching his breath, he slowly lay down, wrapping his arm around the frozen, straw-stuffed pillow. In the courtyard, Galmar Stonefist, right hand of the rebellious Jarl Stormcaller, decided to remember his youth and personally drove the recruits around the parade ground, shouting commands in the booming voice of the master thu'um. The echoes of military drill always calmed the lieutenant, and he began to fall asleep again. “To the north and to the mountains such dreams,” he muttered, scratching his neck, but then his fingers caught on a frayed leather cord. Feeling cold, Bruni ran his hand to the very end of the lace, which was pulled back by some kind of sharp-angled pendant. His hand found a piece of wood - "like two axes put together, and a spear that strikes our enemies" - which could not be anything but an amulet of Talos.
