Complete The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall's 'A Missing Prince' and 'The Painting' quests. Investigate Arthago's death and retrieve a special painting from Castle Wayrest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Reach Level 5 to receive a letter from Prince Lhotun of Sentinel.
  2. 2
    Find Prince Lhotun in the grand entry chamber of Castle Sentinel. He will task you to investigate the death of his older brother, Arthago.
  3. 3
    Ask around for clues regarding Arthago's death.
  4. 4
    After a few days or weeks, you will receive a letter from an agent of the Underking, advising you to investigate a randomly selected dungeon for clues.
  5. 5
    Find a letter within the dungeon.
  6. 6
    Return the letter to Prince Lhotun. He will inform you of Lysandus's affair with Medora Direnni and suggest seeking her out in her tower on the Isle of Balfeira for information about Arthago's death. Note that Medora was banished by Mynisera and her tower is cursed by Nulfaga, filled with undead.
  7. 7
    After completing Lhotun's quest, you will receive a letter from Queen Akorithi requesting you visit her.
  8. 8
    Queen Akorithi will task you to break into Castle Wayrest and retrieve a special painting.
  9. 9
    Travel to Castle Wayrest. It is recommended to have a Teleportation spell and potentially a water walking/breathing spell.
  10. 10
    Enter Castle Wayrest and proceed to the Great Hall behind the throne room.
  11. 11
    Go through the North wall door. Guards may attack; you can defeat them.
  12. 12
    Turn left and follow the passage to a room with coffins.
  13. 13
    Enter the brick wall teleporter in the corner.
  14. 14
    Navigate through subsequent teleporter rooms (ignore the lever in the second room).
  15. 15
    The final teleporter leads to a torture chamber. Exit and turn right, then through another door and proceed South.
  16. 16
    Follow the passage to a door facing West, which opens into a water-filled canal.
  17. 17
    Go to the far West side of the canal and use the board to cross.
  18. 18
    Enter the small tunnel to the East, which requires ducking.
  19. 19
    Crawl through the tunnel and exit the water.
  20. 20
    Proceed through the door and squeeze through the window-like structure blocking your path. Warning: SAVE YOUR GAME before this step, as you may get stuck or fall into the void. Ducking and climbing is the best method.
  21. 21
    After passing through the window, follow the passage and take the third door on the West.
  22. 22
    Follow the passage, take the first left, and continue until you reach a large room containing the painting.
  23. 23
    Use the painting to examine it.
  24. 24
    Teleport away to report to Queen Akorithi.
  25. 25
    If you need to escape Castle Wayrest without teleporting: Retrace your steps to the torture chamber. Exit and go left into the other room. Find a secret door on the West wall leading to a narrow corridor with large stairs. At the fork, spin the wheel to the right. Continue until you reach a room, exit through the door on the left, and enter the room across the hall containing a teleporter. This teleporter leads to a room with a fountain. Exit and follow the passage to a door on your left, leading to a final teleporter room. Look for a secret door on the South wall, enter the tunnel, and proceed through the door. Turn left, follow the stairs up to a room, and exit through the South door to return to Castle Wayrest's Great Hall. Remember guards may still attack.
  26. 26
    Report to Queen Akorithi and give her the painting. You can lie about whether you looked at it.
Tips
  • Having a Teleportation spell is highly recommended for navigating Castle Wayrest and escaping.
  • Consider a water walking/breathing spell for the canal section.
  • Save your game before attempting to squeeze through the window, as it can be difficult.
