Dawnguard Faction Quest: Lost Relic
Lost Relic
Quest Giver: Florentius Baenius. This quest can occur up to three times.
Once you’ve freed Florentius during Dawnguard Faction Quest: Bolstering the Ranks, he requests that you help him (and Arkay) secure a fabled relic from the Dawnguard’s past. Arkay has told Florentius where the relic is, but he requires you to retrieve it.
Enter the dungeon you’re prompted to trek to, and battle or sneak your way to a large treasure chest somewhere within. Inside is the relic you seek. Take it!
- [Dawnguard Relic]
Quest Conclusion
Head back to Fort Dawnguard, and present the relic to Florentius. He (and Arkay) thank you for your service, and in addition to a small item reward, Florentius gifts you the relic itself. Use it wisely!
- Leveled Weapon or Item
- Dawnguard Relic
The following three relics are (randomly) available during this quest.
| Relic Name | Properties |
|---|---|
| Dawnguard Rune Axe | For every 10 undead you kill with this axe, the axe will do +10 Sun Damage to undead (up to +100). |
| Dawnguard Rune Hammer | Bashing places a rune on a nearby surface; the rune explodes for 50 points of fire damage when enemies come near. |
| Dawnguard Rune Shield | +10 Bash damage against vampires and sustained blocking creates a minor Sun Shield that does 10 points of damage while draining the wielder’s Stamina. |
