How To Complete “The Lonely Wanderer” & Get The Contract Bonus

In the Imperial City there lives a High Elf who must be removed from existence. Finding this person may prove… challenging. Are you interested?

Your goal in the “The Lonely Wanderer” quest is to find and kill a High Elf named Faelian. The only problem is, Faelian is something of an elusive character, and Ocheeva doesn’t know where he is.

To get a bonus, you must kill Faelian in a secure location away from the prying eyes of Captain Adamus Phillida, who is already suspicious of Dark Brotherhood activities. If you get caught in the act, or kill Faelian in an insecure location, you will forfeit your bonus.

Step One: How To Find Faelian

To find Faelian,Oblivion Remasteredplayers should first head tothe Elven Gardens district of the Imperial City and ask Elf NPCs if they have heard of Faelian. You can ask any NPC, including shopkeepers. Eventually, you will learn that Faelian has been staying at the Tiber Septim Hotel in the Talos Plaza District.

Head to the Talos Plaza District of the Imperial City and look for the Tiber Septim Hotel in the middle of the subzone, near the fountain. Talk to the innkeeper to learn that Faelian is staying with a woman in a room, though he is only here for a few hours every night.

You can also run into Faelian by chance, as he spends a lot of time walking between the hotel room and Lorkmir’s House, where he also spends much of the day. However, this location is locked until later in the quest, and Faelian will not enter until you trigger that part of the quest.

Step Two: Find Skooma For Faelian

Once you find Faelian, talk to him, and you will quickly realize that a raging Skooma addiction has destroyed this Elf’s mind. He will eventually ask, “do you ha… have any skooma now? Cause… I can be your friend ri… right now…”

Try not to laugh too hard atFaelian’s hilarious dialogue delivery, and return to Faelian once you have some Skooma to give him. You can, of course, kill Faelian at any point during the quest to complete the contract, but if you want a bonus and a unique item, you must kill him in a secure location. Faelian will only trust you enough to go to a secure location if you bring him Skooma.

There are two locations you can get Skooma easily:

Step Three: Find A Secure Location To Kill Faelian

After you acquire some Skooma, head to the Tiber Septim Hotel, but instead of going inside, wait until around 3 or 4 a.m. when you should see Faelian leave the hotel in the early hours of the morning. Approach him after he exits the hotel, or anywhere on his normal wandering route, and give him your Skooma.

Faelian will remark, “Now that we’re… we’re friends… You want to come with me? To my… my special place?” Take him up on the offer, and follow him to Lorkmir’s House in the Talos Plaza District. This counts as a secure area –Oblivion Remasteredplayers can kill Faelian at any point after you both enter Lorkmir’s House to complete the contract and fulfill the “The Lonely Wanderer” bonus requirements.

“The Lonely Wanderer” Quest Rewards & Bonus

For successfully killing Faelian, you will receive a lump sum of Gold as a reward from Ocheeva. However, if you kill Faelian in a secure location,Oblivion Remasteredplayers will also receive a special reward: Shadowhunt, an enchanted Bow that inflicts four effects on hit (Damage Health, Damage Magicka, Turn Undead, andWeakness to Poison).

Shadowhunt is an exceptionally powerful Bow inOblivion Remastered, especially for Dark Brotherhood quests, and is worth going out of your way to get if you plan to play a Ranger or Stealth Archer build.
