These artifacts are all i need to get a platinum on skyrim.

Well i think i hit a dead end here and i'm none to happy about this situation i have seem to put myself in after 130 hours of gametime.

Anyway, here's my situation, so you need to collect 15 daedric artifacts to get this trophy and i have finished all 15 of the quests and no trophy ! So i look into the game guide and it says if you let Silus live at the end of the quest " pieces of the past" that you will not collect Mehrus's Razor, ever ! This is the artifact I think i am missing because it sits in a case in Silus' place in Dawnstar and I cannot open this case to get access to it !!

Now i think this is a real bummer because as i was doing these quests i thought that just by completing them you would end up with a piece of an artifac, not that you had to make game changing choice in some of the missions that would end up costing myself a trophy and ultamitly a platinum for Skyrim.

Also i am pretty sure as i went through the game some more trying to obtain the trophy for having 100,000 gold, I may have sold some of these daedric artifacts without knowing it ! Does this too affect me in getting the trophy also?

Also i do not have multiple saves after every mission so in order for me to get this trophy I would have to go back proly 60 hours game play or maybe even more as i only have 2 save files wich i always just overwrite when i save.

So I am in need of any help out there !

Is there a way that i can go back to these areas' where i did these quest and go through them again to get the missing artifact ?

Or am i stuck and have to restart with a new character just to get this one trophy ? God i hope not !!


PLEASE HELP !!

That really svcks buddy . There are 3 artifacts it is possible to miss 1. you know about obviously is Mehrunes Dagger 2. is Mask of Clavicus Vile if you take the axe instead 3. is the Skull of Corruption .
Unfortunately there is no way to get these back and you will have to start a new file just to get that trophy . I would suggest doing nothing other than leaving Helgen and focusing strictly on the daedric quests for a relativly bug free questline . Do NOT complete Dragon Rising , and the dragons won't bug up your questing .
You only need to acquire the artifacts , it doesn't matter if you sell them , they still count towards the trophy .

I was afraid of this restarting deal ! Oh well live and learn....thanks for the info !

i think it does matter boyfriend got this trophy just the other day but yea anyway he had done all deadric quests other then boethia (so he had had the skeleton key) but he gave the skeleton key back so when the 15th deadric artifact came about it didn't ping up it only pinged up when he did the final deadric quest he had left which was boethia meaning he had had to do all 16 in the end to get this trophy.
so i dunno if this is because you need to actually own 15 or if the skeleton key doesn't count in this trophy with it being the only one you have to actually give back where as the rest are given to you by said deadra or if the trophy is a typo and it means 16 not 15 (i know the guide says 15 but that guide is wrong on a few things in the game it even has puzzle solutions wrong)

I'm having the same problem , I dont think the skeleton key counts even though it's supposed too .
Good call though , to the OP , I would take her advice and hang on to all the artifacts just in case thats bugged too . It's not supposed to matter , but you never know .

There are actually 16 daedric quests if you did all the thieves guild quests. the nocturnal part of the thieves guild quests counts as a daedric quest but doesnt count towards the trophy. so there may be another artifact you havent found.

It doesn't actually count as a daedric quest either . I checked my stats after I completed the thieves guild questline , and I still had the same number of daedric quests completed as before .

I count the final Thieves Guild Quest as a Daedric Quest because you still get a Daedric Artifact (Skeleton Key) or some sort of Daedric Power. I prefer the Key over the powers any-day.
