I've completed every Daedric Artifact quest, aside from A daedra's best friend. What I'm facing is the mysterious death of Lod the blacksmith, and this basically means I can't encounter Barbas, the questgiver. This is very frustrating as I've just gone to make an entirely new save and completed the quest on that, only to find the Oblivion Walker trophy only appears if you've obtained all 15 daedric artifacts on ONE save. This is my last trophy for plat, and do I have to go on and re-do every single quest AGAIN?

Please, please please tell me this is not the case D:

Im afraid this is the case you have to get all 15 on one save dont worry though i have to make a new save to get them all myself as i didn't realize the woman in the markarh hall of the dead was a deadric quest giver, so i said the wrong things and she went on to attack me resulting in her death. not happy

There are 16 artifacts , you only need 15 for the trophy . If you missed out on clavicus viles mask , it's ok , just make sure you get the other 15 .

I hear the Skeleton key will count as one as long as its in your inventory, just most sites dont consider it one because you probably have already turn it in during the Thieves Guild.

The Skeleton Key does count .It doesn't matter if you turn it in , the simple act of picking up an artifact once counts it towards the final count .

ooooooo i didnt realize there were 16 awesome i can still get oblivion walker and yes the skeleton key is meant to be returned but thats if you choose to complete that quest and return it you could always keep it and just ignore the returning it quest

I've held the Skeleton key, along with every other artifact aside from the mask. Unfortunately no trophy.

Trophy bug maybe?
hears a list of all deadric artifacts:
Azuras Star or The Black Star (i chose azuras star)
Ebony Mail
Masque of Clavicus Vile
Oghma Infinium
Saviours Hide or Ring of Hircine (i chose saviours hide)
Volendrung
Mehrunes Razor
Ebony Blade
Dawnbreaker
Mace of Molag Bal
Ring of Namira (i killed the quest giver so cant get it)
Skeleton Key
Spell Breaker
Sanguine Rose
Wabbajack
Skull of Corruption
Never know you may have missed one by accident or didnt know about it?

also dunno if this matters but so far in all the quests iv been polite and chosen in favour of the deadra so for saviours hide i killed singding like i was aksed to same for skull of corruption i killed the mage like i was asked to, i took the star back to azura not the other bloke and such

I've got 15/16 but no trophy and I'm sure I know why.

Transcerning the Mundane quest which gives you the book - if you read it, it gets destroyed - hence no more daedric artifact in your possession.

Is it necessary to have all 15 in your inventory for it to unlock? I've been stashing them all in a chest in one of my homes...

Beothiah's Calling has screwed up for me, just get the continuous dialogue loop - looks like I'm starting from scratch too if this isn't part of the next patch.

just a thought may be a bit off the walls but seeing as there are typos all the way through the game like door being spelt dour and info in the load screens again having basic errors maybe that the 15 artifacts to get the trophy is a typo....and it really means 16

i killed the dog at 'a deadra's best friend' so i had to start a new save for my last trophy aswell. took me 2 days for it though. so its not that much work:)
getting level 30 for the ebony mail consumed most of my time;)

so does that mean you need all 16 for this trophy to ping up?

I have the guide book , it says you only need 15 of the 16 to get the trophy , and you only need to hold them once not all at the same time .
I'm half way there and I'll be concentrating on getting the trophy today , so I'll report back later .

Ta woud be nice to find out as i have a chance of getting all 15 but i gave the skeleton key back today and am hoping that didnt ruin me getting the tropy

You don't need them all in your possesion at the same time to get the trophy , you just need to have had them in your inventory once . After that you can drop them , sell them , give them away , whatever .You need 15 of the 16 for the trophy .

Wow im an idiot, I SOLD sanguine rose AND mehrunes razor because they were of no use to me, lol, oh well. Im going to start a new game once this lag issue is out anyway as my game is now unplayable

Ummm , you can still get the trophy , since you don't need to have them all at once . All you have to do is acquire the artifact , you can then immediately sell it , it still counts towards your 15 artifact total .
Btw , Sanguine Rose useless ? Having a Dremora tank on call saved my butt so many times , but to each his own I guess , lol .

For the quest "A Daedra's Best Friend". It's not the axe, it's his Masque. What you need to do is refuse and return it to him. Then wait for the conversation to be over and he will say that he'll give you his Masque after all.

Trophy says collect all 15 daedric artifacts. I'm currently working on this trophy and so far have completed a few. My statistic for daedric quests completed is 5. I'll let you guys know once I've done all of the daedric quests and the final result of what happened afterwards.
