Misdirection Walkthrough and Rewards
Lost Histories Walkthrough
Talk to S'krivva in Bravil
Talk to S'krivva, and she'll inform you about a thief named Theranis and the book entitled Lost Histories that was meant for him to steal. From there, head towards Skingrad - East Gate.
Head to Skingrad and Talk With Nigidus the Needy
After you've reached Skingrad - East Gate, follow the objective marker on the top of your screen and interact with Nigidus the Needy. Offer him coins so that he'll tell you information about Theranis.
Travel to Castle Skingrad and Enter its Dungeon
Travel to Castle Skingrad and enter its premises. From there, head north of the area and climb the stairs that lead to the door of the dungeon.
Cast Invisibility Spell to Remain Undetected
Once you've entered the dungeon door, head to the bottom of the staircase until you've reached a room guarded by a jailer. Make sure to cast an Illusion spell like Ghostwalk or Spectral Form to avoid detection.
Lockpick the Wooden Door
Once you've snuck past the jailer, head towards the wooden door and lockpick it to enter inside. If you have spare lockpicks, you can try using them to avoid the lockpicking process entirely.
Lockpicking Explained: How to Lockpick
Talk to Larthjar the Laggard
After entering the wooden door, search the nearby cell and talk with Larthjar the Laggard. He'll tell you about Theranis, the Argonian, and the Pale Lady that seemed to have taken them.
Activate the Candle Mechanism
Once you've talked with Larthjar, head to the end of the hallway and activate the Strange Candle perched on the wall to reveal a secret entrance.
Activate the Hidden Handle
Proceed further into the area and lockpick the door that leads to the Skingrad Wine Cellar. From there, head further below and continue left until you've reached a dead end.
Check for a handle mechanism on the stone wall, and activate it so that another secret passageway can be revealed.
Activate Another Candle Mechanism
Enter the passageway and head below the stairs on the left that leads to an area with 3 large wooden barrels. Check the third barrel on the right, and activate the candle mechanism perched on the stone pillar.
Activating the candle mechanism will reveal a secret door entrance on the second barrel, so make sure to enter the door entrance and navigate further inside.
Take Out the Pale Lady
Once you've continued further inside the passage, you'll notice that Theranis now lays dead on the floor and the Pale Lady is standing nearby. It is recommended that you cast an invisibility spell upon yourself to remain undetected.
From there, take out the Pale Lady. After she no longer poses a threat, steal the Skingrad Castle Key from her lifeless body and talk to Amusei who is imprisoned in his cell.
Escape Skingrad Castle
Follow the objective marker on top of your screen, and head out of the wine cellar. Proceed to the entrance of the Dining Hall and open it using the Skingrad Castle Key.
Keep following the objective marker until you've reached the Skingrad Courtyard. Use the castle key again so you can head outside.
Pay the Fine to the Guard
After reaching outside the castle, a guard will stop you in your tracks. You will be presented with options on how to handle your punishment, but try choosing the Pay Gold option.
This option will enable you to retain your original bounty, as the other options such as Go to Jail or Resist Arrest might raise your bounty further.
Talk to Amusei
After getting some distance away from the castle, talk to Amusei and he will reveal where the Lost Histories of Tamriel is located. Travel to Skingrad and head towards Nerastarel's house.
Head Back to Skingrad - East Gate
Once you've traveled back to Skingrad, follow the objective marker on your screen until you've reached the area of the book. It will be located between a bush and a stone rock.
Return to S'krivva For Your Reward
Return to S'krivva at your usual meeting spot and discuss your reward for completing the mission. She will give you 400 Gold for your efforts.
Lost Histories Rewards
Receive 400 Gold
You will be given 400 Gold once you've completed the Lost Histories quest and returned the Lost Histories of Tamriel book to S'krivva.
