This special section of the Blue Palace in Solitude [1.00] remains locked at all times and is accessible only during Daedric Quest: The Mind of Madness. After a brief exploration of the long-unused wing, you’re soon whisked away to unfamiliar surroundings—the deceptively verdant mind of Emperor Pelagius III! Speak with Sheogorath to advance the quest and receive a unique weapon called the Wabbajack—this is the only thing you can take with you when you leave this unusual place.

Travel down each of the three paths to encounter three very unusual situations, each a reflection of Pelagius’s warped psyche. Use the Wabbajack to solve each of the situations as follows:

Arena: Shoot the spectating soldiers on the arena’s far side, not the combatants.

Pelagius the Tormented: Shoot the sleeping Emperor to spawn a series of progressively more dangerous foes. Defeat them all.

Pelagius vs. Pelagius: Shoot the smaller version of Pelagius (named “Confidence”) to make it grow. Shoot the Imperial Soldier named “Anger” to shrink it. Ensure that Pelagius’s Confidence is as large as can be, then shoot the two specters of Self-Doubt that eventually appear to vanquish them.

Once you’ve returned from Pelagius’s frightening mind, continue your search of the Pelagius Wing to discover a Skill Book on some crates downstairs.
