    One way you can make infinite money in Windhelm is by selling the strange amulet to Calixto and pickpocketing it from him to them sell it to him again. His panic over someone finding his amulet sets him in an infinite loop of materializing money to not get caught

    I still remember the first time I played Blood on the Ice on the old 360 version. Got to the part he kills the lady in the market place and apparently the game just randomly chooses a woman in windhelm for him to axe. In this case it ended up being the argonian lady who lived outside at the docks, who I had married. So when I got the quest to catch the murderer in the act he just stood in the market for 2 whole days, until my wife walked there from Riften to be murdered in front of like 12 people.

    For those wondering how to solve Blood on the Ice without implicating the mage, show him (the mage) the amulet before talking to the Jarl's servant. He'll point you towards the real murderer. Then you just need to follow Calixto each evening until he pulls out a dagger. As soon as he pulls out the dagger, you can attack him without issue, thus saving the girl, catching the killer, and becoming a hero. If you do it in the right order, the quest doesn't bug out.

      It's actually really easy to save her, IF, and that's a big IF, it occurs to you to do so. Essentially you have to know the murder's going to happen before you see it start. You can just kill the murderer right away and suprisingly, everyone's fine with you killing him. Now you just have to ask yourself if you really give a crap about the Forsworn Conspiracy or not. (Spoilers: you shouldn't, you get thrown in prison for your trouble, and forced to make a choice about which of two horrible people you want to help. You can try to get both of them killed if you play your cards right, but then your reward is nothing. Otherwise you can get an ok ring or a unique set of ugly armor out of it.)

    Not sure if they ever fixed it, but there are two argonians in the shelter on the docks who are almost always locked in because the dev's didn't give them keys to get out. If you unlock the door and let them out, they have sidequests.
    One's a skooma addict who will raise your Sneak skill in exchange for stealing a bottle of skooma for him. The other tells you about Tobjorn Shatter-Shield underpaying the argonians and you can go "convince" him to give them a fair wage.

    While the killer quest can be buggy, it helps to not tell the steward about the amulet and have the court mage arrested. Just confront him on your own and he'll plead his case and help you find the real killer. My guess it the branching paths and time sensitive events are what breaks it so much

    • @ashleyneku5432
      @ashleyneku5432 Před rokem +47

      The problem is that if you don't take the amulet to Calixto first to be appraised, it's stuck in your inventory as a quest object with no special effects even after completing the quest.
      Edit: To clarify in this context, it's a "problem" because solving the quest with the above method gives you no reason to ever consult Calixto, similar to the problem Joov faced.

  • @justme0910

    Blood On The Ice is my favorite Skyrim quest because it has so many interesting ideas (like being able to either save all the potential victims after Susanna if you put the clues together yourself, or get several women murdered through inaction or incompetence), but by the Eight, is it broken.
    Imagine if you could actually do some proper investigating (beyond looking at a bunch of pots)! Unlock multiple suspects that you can accuse! Have some race-based advantages or disadvantages (like struggling to get the Nords to cooperate with you if you're a Dunmer or Argonian, but being able to get some unique intel from the other Dunmer/Argonians if you are)! Use your knowledge of the arcane arts or your connections to various factions to your advantage!
    It'd be so fun to figure out the pattern of the murders for yourself with a high enough Conjuration skill. Or to ask someone at the College about the amulet. Or to use the murders as fuel for anti-Stormcloak propaganda if you're with the Imperials. Or if people assumed there was a connection between the Butcher murders and Aventus Aretino trying to call the Dark Brotherhood, leading you to the Innocence Lost quest a bit more organically if you haven't already done it.
    But alas, 'twas not to be.

      Even knowing in advance, because I've already done the quest before, that it's Calixto, it's a pain to actually get him found out and prevent at least one murder. Also, you're stuck with the "strange amulet" forever if for whatever reason, it didn't occur to you to sell an important piece of evidence to the prime suspect, then loot it later when you kill him.
      Some people complain that too often games hold your hand too much on quests; this quest has the exact opposite problem. If you haven't done it before, or just looked it up online, following the quest as intended will actually get you to do it entirely wrong.

    Hjerim is the best house in the game even over ones you can craft yourself, and it's tied to such a broken quest. Usually when I do a playthrough my entire time goes to trying to unlock Hjerim, and then when I finally, if ever do gain access to it, I've had my fill of Skyrim.

  • @neoqwerty
    @neoqwerty Před rokem +34

    You can actually find the murderer the right way... by literally accusing the court mage yourself without telling the steward, which starts the alternate take on the quest and spares Susanna. That happens to be the version I found, after on my first playthrough I broke into Hjerim and got out with a cool weird amulet that I enchanted (yeah, there's a version of the necromancer's amulet you can enchant that's SUPPOSED to be a quest item but if you break into Hjerim and the investigation prompts don't activate it's not a quest item yet-- and enchanting it breaks the quest in that it softlocks it and you can never successfully investigate Hjerim).

      I always play with the Blood on the Ice Redux mod, so you can get the key to Hjerim before Susanna dies by talking to Captain Lonely Gale, Viola, Adonato Leotelli (the writer staying at Candlehearth Hall), and finally Tova Shatter-Shield to get the key (or open the door via your lockpicking mastery). And afterward, you can buy the House of Curiosities as your own house until you decide to buy/progress enough to get Hjerim.

    I do a challenge of my own. the ,,Normal guy" challenge. You have to act completely like a normal NPC. so no screams, sleep regularly. and if you're north, probably no magic. additional restrictions are: no waiting, no fast travel and leaving the city where you live only if it is really necessary. Also no accepting any quests, because you take care of your own stuff. do not go into caves unnecessarily. I went into a full dealer build for this. so every craft and rhetoric... and it pays off pretty well.

I thought, since you cant get into the Citys, with walls around them... you still can get into Dawnstar and citys, like them, to do your Trading and things, like smithing or stuff. but If they dont move, this dont work, sadly. but maybe, theres a mod for that.

    Blood on the Ice is actually faster if you don't talk to the steward and just go to wuunferth after you bring Viola to Hjerim. He will jump into doing the part he did in the jail cell. Also, when you find out to talk to Viola by bringing the flyers to Jorleif and he tells you to talk to Viola, you can also ask him about the amulet if you found it and *he* tells you to talk to Calixto. You just kind of broke the narrative by not finding the amulet.
