Tutorial Walkthrough

1 Wake Up in a Prison Cell

You'll wake up inside a prison cell. Shortly after, guards and Emperor Uriel Septim will enter. The Emperor will want to talk to you.
2 Follow the Emperor

After speaking with the Emperor, follow him and his bodyguards through the newly opened secret passage.
3 Get Weapons and Clothes

Continue following them until the Emperor's party is ambushed by Assassins. It’s best to let the guards handle the fight and avoid drawing attention.

Once the fight is over, loot Captain Renault’s body for a weapon and one of the Assassins for clothing. Open the Menu and equip your weapon and gear in the Inventory tab.
▶ List of Controls
4 Learn How to Fight

The Emperor's party will leave you behind. A section of the wall to the right will then crumble, and Rats will rush in to attack. This is where you'll learn basic combat, so pay attention to the on-screen tutorial prompts.

Enter through the hole in the wall. Explore the dungeon for valuable loot and be ready to encounter more enemies along the way!
5 Enter the Natural Caverns

Continue forward until you reach the door to the Natural Caverns. If you’re feeling lost, you can use the Clairvoyance spell (new in the remaster) from the Magic tab in the Menu to guide you to your next objective.

Once inside the Natural Caverns, head northwest while following tutorial instructions, including how to Sneak. You can also obtain a bow and arrows from a Goblin in the area.
6 Reunite with the Emperor

Enter the door to the Imperial Subterrane, where you'll find the Emperor and his guards under attack by Assassins again. Since you're now geared up, you can help fend off their attackers.
7 Select Your Birthsign

Speak to the Emperor afterward and you’ll be prompted to select your Birthsign, which represent the constellation your character was born under. Each Birthsign grants unique passive or active powers.

You’ll have an opportunity to change it before leaving the sewers.

8 Protect the Emperor

Continue following the Emperor and his guards through the cistern. Along the way, you’ll be ambushed by Assassins. Defeat them to proceed.
9 Enter the Sanctum

Enter the Sanctum and follow the guards to a dead end. Prepare to fend off another wave of Assassins!
10 Take the Amulet from the Emperor

Talk to the Emperor, who will entrust you with the Amulet of Kings and ask you to deliver it to Jauffre. After speaking with him, he’ll be killed by an Assassin.
11 Select Your Class

Talk to Baurus, who will give you the key to the sewers. You’ll then be prompted to select a Class, which are character archetypes that define your attributes, strengths, and weaknesses.

You’ll also have an opportunity to change it before leaving the sewers.
▶ Best Class
12 Leave the Sewers

Use Baurus’s key to open the door on the right, and continue to the manhole cover to exit to the sewers.

Make your way northeast through the sewers until you reach the gate to City Isle. This is your last chance to change your character’s Identity, Birthsign, and Class, so choose wisely. When you're ready, leave the sewers!
