Travel to Cheydinhal and Talk to Luckless Lucina

Luckless Lucina

Once you've arrived at Cheydinhal, interact with Luckless Lucina to learn of the whereabouts of the bust. Do note that she will need to have a high disposition towards you so she will share what she knows.

How to Persuade

Head to the Great Chapel of Arkay

Arkay Chapel

Head southwest to the area until you've reached the entrance of the Great Chapel of Arkay. Enter the chapel, and proceed down the stairs that lead to the undercroft.

Proceed Down the Undercroft

Undercroft Lock

Once you've reached the area below the stairs, picklock the entrance so that you can access the chapel's undercroft. If you have the Skeleton Key or some lockpicks to spare, then use them to avoid the lockpicking process.

Proceed to Methredhel's House

Methredhel

Head inside Methredhel's house and talk with her. She'll tell you that Armand is in hiding and that the traitorous informant in the Thieve Guild is none other than Myvryna Arano.

Methredhel will tell you that the bust will need to be placed on Myvryna's cupboard so that she'll be neutralized by the Imperial watch.
