Turn a Blind Eye Location

Go to Imperial City and Talk to Methredhel

Talk to Methredhel in Imperial City

Methredhel

Talk to S'krivva, and she'll tell you that she has no more special jobs for you. S'krivva will inform you that Gray Fox will keep in touch with you soon.

From there, wait somewhere in Imperial City and try to adjust your waiting time to many hours until Methredhel reaches out to you. She will tell you that you will need to meet Gray Fox at Cecia's house in Bruma.

How to Change Time of Day

Travel to Bruma East Gate

Gray Fox

Travel to Bruma East Gate and follow the objective marker on top of your screen to reach Cecia's House. From there, enter inside and head down the stairs to meet Gray Fox.

He will need you to take Savilla's Stone at the Temple of the Ancestor Moths.

Travel to the Temple of the Ancestor Moths

Brother Holger

The temple will be somewhere far north of Cheydinhal, so fast travel to anywhere near the temple to reach the area. Once the temple is reached, searched for Brother Holga to get some information.

You will need to play the Persuasion Wheel minigame or bribe him so that you can raise his disposition towards you. Once his disposition is high enough, he'll tell you about the stone and its whereabouts.

How to Persuade

Enter the Ancestor Moth Crypt

Ancestor Moth Crypt

After talking to Father Holger, it is important that you pay attention to the objective marker as the location of the stone is difficult to navigate through the temple.

For now, head north of the area and lockpick the door leading to the Ancestor Moth Crypt. Head inside and follow the objective marker that leads you down the area until you've reached the temple halls.

Lockpick the door to enter the area. Cast an illusion spell to make you invisible before going inside to avoid detection from the prelates guarding the area.

List of All Illusion Spells

Take Catacombs Key

Catacombs Key

Continue towards the area until you've reached a location with candles surrounding a statue. Turn left and take out Blind Moth Prelate standing before the doorway and take the Catacombs Key from him.

Navigate the Area

Caverns of the Moth

From there, follow the objective marker and navigate the labyrinth. Lockpick doors you find along the way and open treasure you might find until you've reached the door that leads to the Cavern of the Moth.

Use the Catacombs Key you took from the prelate earlier and enter the Cavern of the Moth.

Proceed Through the Cavern and Avoid Traps

Shrine

Once you're inside the cavern, keep following the objective marker and check the area for any traps or enemies that might take you out. There are also Rock Wall entrances that you can activate to find new paths along the cavern.

You'll eventually reach a door that leads to the Shrine of the Moth after following the objective marker. This door has a ghost roaming on its front, so just pass the ghost and use the Catacombs Key to open the door.

Take the Savilla's Stone

Savilla

Continue down the area until you've reached a shrine being guarded by a prelate. Take out the prelate, and take the Savilla's Stone on the right pedestal. From there, head northeast of the area and search for a wooden ladder.

Exit the Shrine

Wooden Ladder

This wooden ladder leads to a trap door towards the temple, so use this to proceed outside the area and avoid having to navigate back from where you've started.

Return to Gray Fox

Return to Gray Fox

Return to Gray Fox and give him the Savilla's Stone so that he'll reward you for completing the quest and bestow you 500 gold.

Turn a Blind Eye Rewards

Receive 500 Gold

You will be rewarded 500 Gold once you've completed the Turn a Blind Eye quest and given the Savilla's Stone to Gray Fox.
