Killing Gaius Maro : V

Does it matter what city I kill him in?

Because when I did it the first time if my memory is correct...

I had to kill him in a major city or can it be In One of these little cities/towns?

i don't think it matters where you kill him, but you get a bonus for killing him in a more populated area, that way he's "found faster". i just killed him as he was walking down a roadway outside of town. i didn't get my bonus but i still got a bounty in solitude. just make sure you plant the incriminating letter, that's all that really matters ;-)

I don't think he spends any time in minor "cities". His travel schedule just shows Solitude, Windhelm, Riften, Whiterun, and Markarth.

I found him easiest to cap in Whiterun. As he's walking toward the town gates, it's easy to get a spot where you can hide from the shadows and shoot him down. For best results, have an invisibility potion to guzzle after you fire.

I got him in Windhelm. He was standing around the courtyard with a couple of guards nearby, so I used a bow. It was actually the first time I'd used a bow in this game. It brought him out through the entrace and I fought him in a corner. The guards didn't follow him out and apparently nobody spotted us fighting (or they didn't care). After it was over I just strolled casually out of town, whistling innocently.

I've been using bows a lot more often since then!

according to uesp, if you kill him in dragonsbridge or on the road you forfeit the bonus.

apparantly he can be goaded into attacking you, so killing him is not a crime.

edit: for terrible spelling

Those are major cities but the strange thing is that he goes to Riften and Windhelm, isn't that stormcloak territory?

I fast travel to Riften from Dragon's Reach as its the first place on his list.

I always find him in the Bee and Bard (On the PS3-have yet to get this far with DB on the PC) I rent a room to keep the stupid nosy Argonian from following me. I wait for him to go up to his room and then I kill him.

Collect bonus and a nice set of armor to show off to Astrid.
