The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimis full to the skirt with interesting and unique side-quests, many of which players will have to go far out of their way to locate and begin. Some of the most pop and memorable of these quests are the Daedric quests - which offer powerful Daedric artifacts as rewards.

Sick Met by Moonlight is the Daedric quest of Hircine, lord of the chase and creator of lycanthropy. Like many quests in The Elderberry Scrolls,Ill Met by Moonlight features two distinct outcomes, both of which offer a unique advantage, although one is more than useful than the other.

Ill Met by Moonlight is obtained from the hold of Falkreath, where townsfolk talk of the savage murder of a young girl. Supposedly the culprit was captured, so head over to the Guard Barracks. Enter the dungeon in the basement and walk to the big, circular cell at the cease. The prisoner will notice yous and slowly approach the cell door. The man reveals himself as Sinding, a werewolf who stole the Ring of Hircine from the Daedric prince in an attempt to control his transformations. Hircine cursed the band in retaliation, and Sinding could non fight off his wolf side, which ultimately killed the young girl. Sinding tasks you with hunting a rare white stag in the woods nearby to proceeds the favor of Hircine to ask him to remove the curse. Sinding volition escape the cell as you head off to brainstorm the hunt.

The Cursed Ring of Hircine auto-equips itself to The Dragonborn and may crusade random werewolf transformations until the quest is completed. The white stag spawns somewhat randomly simply outside Falkreath, so all you need to practice is follow the quest marking. Information technology is rather agile and very enlightened of your presence, then sneak attacks will exist effective. When yous finally defeat the beast, Hircine himself will appear over its corpse in the form of the animal'southward spirit. Hircine promises to lift the ring's curse - but only if you lot caput to Bloated Human'due south Grotto and slay Sinding.

Arriving at Swollen Homo'south Grotto, you will come across other hunters who take attempted to kill Sinding to gain Hircine'southward favor. Sinding was conspicuously too much for them. Walk frontward just a fiddling further until Sinding himself notices you and begins a chat. Later on revealing to him that Hircine has also tasked y'all with joining the chase, the werewolf offers a bargain: if you spare him, he will avoid civilized society entirely, now knowing he cannot live effectually people.

If you choose to ignore Sinding's request and kill him, he will abscond to the cease of the grotto, where you must defeat the powerful foe. After finally killing him, skin his corpse to appease Hircine. The Daedric prince congratulates you lot on your success and enchants Sinding's skin, granting yous the Savior's Hibernate, a unique lite armor that grants 15% magic resistance and 50% poison resistance. The hibernate is useful but not the truthful prize of this quest.

The preferable selection is to choose to assistance Sinding. He will thank you for your pity and head onwards, travel with him through the grotto, killing the other hunters (an easy feat considering the sheer forcefulness Sinding possesses.) After defeating the concluding 1, talk with Sinding. He will thank you in one case more before you leave the grotto. Upon emerging outside, Hircine will exist awaiting you. Whether you claim to have failed or admit to defying his will, Hircine volition claim he is pleased with the outcome and remove the curse from the Ring of Hircine, leaving it with you earlier he departs.

The Ring of Hircine grants an unlimited amount of transformations for werewolf characters without the demand to wait for the grade to recharge. Later on transforming, remove the ring and re-equip it to proceeds some other transformation whenever desired. This is a phenomenally powerful enchantment for werewolf players and is a far more unique reward than the Savior's Hide's resistances. Fifty-fifty non-werewolf players may want to collect the ring in anticipation of completing the Companion'due south questline, in which lycanthropy is forced on The Dragonborn.
