Detailed Walkthrough

You begin by speaking with Captain Basrush on the Dufort Docks, who briefs you on the missing alliance leaders. Agreeing to help, you will receive and equip the Prisoner Disguise. Proceed to the docks in Gonfalon Bay and find the Boatswain near The Marble Queen, a large shackled Guar. Talk to the Boatswain to take passage to Amenos Station.

Upon arrival at Amenos Station, your initial task is to explore the area and gather any information regarding the whereabouts of the missing leaders. Your investigation will lead you to Jakarn within the station. Speak with him to gain more specific information about the situation on Amenos.

Jakarn will direct you to a Green Serpent gang camp located to the northeast of the station gate. Head towards this location, following the quest markers. Upon reaching the camp, your first action should be to observe the conversation taking place among the gang members. This eavesdropping will provide crucial clues about the missing leaders.

After observing the gang, your objective will be to investigate the Green Serpent Camp more thoroughly. Search the area for any documents or items that might offer further insight. Your findings will likely point you towards the northeast shore of Amenos. Travel to this location, where you will encounter Caska, a Khajiit who is tracking Queen Ayrenn. Speak with Caska, and he will assist you in finding the Queen. Follow Caska as he tracks her trail. His tracking will eventually lead you to Queen Ayrenn. Speak with her to get her account of the events.

Queen Ayrenn will likely task you with collecting specific ritual items. These items will be marked on your map, so gather all of them. Once you have the items, return to Queen Ayrenn and speak with her again. Following this, your next objective is to locate High King Emeric. The quest markers will guide you to his location. After finding him, you might need to return to Queen Ayrenn to update her.

Queen Ayrenn or High King Emeric will probably direct you to a nearby cave that the Green Serpents have been using. Head to the marked cave and explore it. You may need to speak with Emeric again after your exploration. Your objective will then change to meeting your allies at the Coin Fort. Travel to this location, guided by the quest markers, and find Caska there. Speak with him to understand the next part of the plan.

Enter the Coin Fort and prepare to defend it. You and your allies will await the arrival of the Ascendant Order. When they attack, fight off the waves of enemies. After the initial assault, your objective will be to find Prince Irnskar within the fort. Locate him and speak with him to learn about his situation.

Your next major task is to find the Ascendant Lord and the Ascendant Magus. Follow the quest markers to their location. When you find the Ascendant Lord, listen to their dialogue. Your priority will then be to protect Prince Irnskar. Stay close to him and defend him from any threats. You will then need to find a way to signal a ship to help you escape Amenos. After signaling, make your way out of the Coin Fort, defending Queen Ayrenn if necessary. Your final objective on Amenos is to reach the extraction point and escape the island.

Once you have escaped Amenos, you will likely have a conversation with your allies. Afterward, your final task is to return to Mandrake Manor on High Isle. You can usually use a wayshrine to travel quickly. Once at the manor, find Lady Arabelle in the courtyard and speak with her to complete the "Escape from Amenos" quest.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.

Bugs

• After talking to Caska, your quest pointer will say Search Area. DO NOT DO THIS. The quest says Follow Caska, and that's what you do. If you click the Search Area before Caska arrives, the quest Will advance, BUT THE QUEST IS NOW BUGGED and is impossible to complete. Way too long a quest to have to start again.

• Coin Fort: For the objectives at Coin Fort, it is imperative that the player follow the quest steps in sequence and not rush in to defeat the 1st group of enemies. Doing so may cause the quest to glitch and not spawn the subsequent 2nd and 3rd waves, preventing the quest from advancing. The pertinent steps are as follows:
  • Objective: Await the Serpents - wait for High King Emeric to finish his entire dialogue.
  • Objective: Wait for High King Emeric - same as above, and wait for Emeric's dialogue to attack.
  • Objective: Defeat the Serpents - move forward but allow High King Emeric to engage and hit the enemies. Suggest to light attack, kill off enemies one by one and not AOE burst the enemies (they are very weak), which might cause the subsequent enemy waves to glitch and fail to load in. NOTE: if a glitch occurs, the only recourse is to abandon and restart the quest from the beginning in Gonfalon Bay. reloadui, exiting-re-entering Coin Fort, resetting game, will not fix the glitch.
