10 Darkest Quests In Elder Scrolls History

2. House Of Horrors - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

As you’d have come to gather from this list so far the Daedric Princes are bad news and doing quests for them is unlikely to result in anything morally good and likely to result in someone getting dead.

Infamous Daedric Prince Molag Bol is at the centre of the quest House of Horrors, named aptly as you’re taken to a strange abandoned house by a Vigilant of Stendarr called Tyranus who asks you to investigate with him. As you begin checking it out you hear a voice telling you to kill Tyranus before he kills you. Long story short, the voice is Molag Bol who eventually locks you in and goads you into a fight to the death. You’re forced to kill Tyranus but the dirty work is far from done. Turns out our local Daedric Prince has taken a disliking to a certain priest of his rival Boethiah. Remember, from the horrible sacrifice a friend quest we covered earlier? Well, he’s made it your job to bring the priest to the house, force him into a cage, rough him up under duress from Molag Bal, and then beat him to death.

You get a pretty cool mace out of it though so I guess maybe you can make your peace with it.
