Daederic quest help! : V

» Sun Jun 03, 2012 3:46 am

I have finished all the challenges for the achievment but it has not been given. I have only missed the masque on a Daedras best friend, -(I got the hammer), but I thought with the skeleton key it would still count as the 15 needed. The shield from only cure was never given properly though it just appeared in my inventory.

What am I doing wrong, as I have followed Bethesdas guide to the letter except for daedras best friend which I did before getting said guide!

Any help would be appreciated thanks!

From what ive read the hammer does not count as a daedric artifact only the mask. That is most likely the only thing holding back that achievement.

EDIT: skeleton key does not count toward the quest http://uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Oblivion_Walker#Achievements

There are 16 artifacts. So you can miss one.

» Sun Jun 03, 2012 5:33 am

but that includes the skeleton key, which doesnt count. so if you take the axe instead of the masque, you would have to get hircines ring AND the saviours hide to make 15. OP, are you on pc?

Only 15 count, and in the example of the clavicus only the mask counts so you can be left with 14 out of 15.

Mask of Clavicus vile
Ring of namira
dawnbreaker
mace of molag bal
spell breaker
wabbajack
sanguine rose
skull of corruption
ebony mail
azuras star
oghma infinium
ebony blade
mehruns razor
volendrung
saviors hide or ring of hircine (either accepted reward counts)

http://www.gamesas.com/user/760141-topherman420/ is correct.
With Hircine's quest you can recieve both, though (a bug I believe, albeit a useful one). But it still only counts as one artifact.

X box and have found I can't finish thieves guild quest for the achievement as I sold my guild armour, so back to level 1 and hopefully a quick 30 levels eh, thanks anyhow!

Strange thing is that Bethesdas official guide book does count the skeleton key as a daederic arifact. Very annoying, but thanks anyhow Matey!

So the Black Star really doesn't count?
svcks as it's much more useful than the regular one.

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 9:22 pm

The black star does count afaik

» Sun Jun 03, 2012 7:14 am

The wiki doesn't say anything about the Black Star not counting.
Just the Skeleton Key and the Rueful Axe.

Its the same star so it still counts either way.

The hide and ring count as 2. im sure.

It's either or. You get one reward but yes no matter which one you choose either one will count.

You can get both if you take advantage of the exploit, so you would end up with two artifacts from one quest, and they both count.

So to me that indicates it doesnt matter if you miss one quest you can just skip it and make up for it by using the exploit to get the 2 rewards from the hircine quest?

If so that should be fixed and it should be like the mask and only one counts for the achievement.

yeah, i dont think Beth meant for them both to count, but happily, they do.

It's a shame for those achievement psychos out there, it means that oblivion walker isn't a higher prized achievement and having to seek out all daedric shrines is not necessary to complete it. It was the one achievement I was gunning for, and it kind of lost its luster now.

Eek! Sorry to tarnish it for you! :sad:

Meh, ive never really cared too much for achievements in games, but that one kind of stuck out for me. I still love skyrim with or without them so its all good, there are other games out there where I care about getting trophies and achievements for. Im sure for some who are hardcoe trophy/achievement grabbers this may be a bit of a tarnish, however they still have the option of completing it to the fullest, they just have to share the achievement with those who decided not to.

I was able to get the achievement with choosing the Rueful Axe (I think it was called that) and only getting one of the hircine artifacts. I'm on XBOX

on one character, or multiple? Im not sure whether you have to have all 15 on one character or not.

I personally have not gotten the walker achievement for that very reason. The wikis both say you cannot, and on the wikia in particular says it needs to be all on one saved game. I'll look more into it.

It needs to be on 1 file , I got a few on my first character , then got the rest on my second . I had to get the ones from my first character on my second one to get the trophy .
The Black Star counted , the Skeleton Key did not .
