Broken Vows Location

Castle Skingrad: Stone Well

Map View
Worldview
Description I have picked up my next contract from the dead drop in the Castle Skingrad well. I have been ordered to kill Khajiit J'Ghasta, who can be found at his house in Bruma. J'Ghasta is a master of unarmed combat, and will prove a challenging opponent. I should also be aware that J'Ghasta is expecting trouble, and has paid off the guards to look the other way if our fight spills out into the city streets.

Broken Vows Walkthrough

List of Objectives
1 Retrieve Dead Drop Order #3
2 Kill J'Ghasta
3 Pick Up Reward and Next Contract

Retrieve Dead Drop Order #3

Dead Drop Order #3

When you pick up your reward for the Next of Kin quest, you will also be able to retrieve your next order.

Take out the Dead Drop Order #3 that is along with the reward in the Stone Well at the Castle Skingrad Courtyard. This starts the Broken Vows quest.

Your next target is Khajiit J'Ghasta, who is excellent at unarmed combat. According to the information you got, J'Ghasta has paid the guards to not interfere if he ends up in a fight in the city streets.

Kill J'Ghasta

# Step-by-step Walkthrough
1
Head to Bruma. Upon entering through the East Gate, turn left toward a row of residences. Follow your marker southward until you arrive at J'Ghasta's House. You'll need to pick an Easy lock to gain entry.
2
Once inside, descend the staircase and make a U-turn to the corner space beneath it. Take the Folded Cloths on the ground to uncover the Trapdoor to the Secret Training Room.
3
Head to the innermost area of the Secret Training Room to confront J'Ghasta. You may eliminate him by any method you choose.

Pick Up Reward and Next Contract

Rotten Box

Make your way to the Old Bridge at the Waterfront, located south of the Imperial City.

Under the bridge you will find a Rotten Box. Open it to retrieve your reward and next contract.

Broken Vows: Is J'Ghasta Not at Home a Glitch?

J'Ghasta is at the Secret Training Room

When you enter J'Ghasta's House, you'll see that your marker shows that he is at home, but you cannot find him anywhere inside.

This is not a glitch; he is indeed at home. He is at his Secret Training Room in the basement.

From the front door, go down the staircase and make a U-turn to find a space beneath it. The entrance to the basement is covered by the Folded Cloths; take them to reveal the trap door.
