Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Guide Quests Dungeon Quests and Other Activities
Overview
Delving into an unknown barrow or creeping stealthily through a long-forgotten ruin is both thrilling and terrifying. Many dungeons across Skyrim have their own self-contained Dungeon Quests. Some are full quests; others, marked with the “*” symbol, appear only as Miscellaneous Objectives. Dungeon Quests are usually unrelated to other quest types and are self-contained; you usually start and finish the quest in or close to the dungeon itself.
In addition, this section encompasses the hundreds of other activities you can try out as you explore the immense landscape. These are segmented into four distinct sections. There are:
Dungeon Activities: Smaller, self-contained explorations at a single Primary Location.
Miscellaneous Objectives: These are usually small tasks, favors or activities that occur inside a (usually friendly) settlement, not a dungeon.
Favors: Every single person in Skyrim that requires a favor is then listed in this section, along with all the types of Favors and the Thane Quests.
World Interactions and Encounters: Small random events that may occur when you enter a World Encounter location or perform other actions throughout the realm.
Available Quests
There are 24 Dungeon Quests. For the most part, these are separate from any other quests you may have, though you may encounter them when sent to a randomly selected dungeon for another quest, or while trying to collect the Masks of the Dragon Priests.
