Talk to Teinaava
After completing the Scheduled for Execution quest, the optional Dark Brotherhood quest The Renegade Shadowscale will become available.
Inside the Sanctuary in Cheydinhal, talk to Teinaava. He will ask you for a favor: to kill his fellow Shadowscale, an Argonian named Scar-Tail. Just as a member of the brotherhood must not kill a fellow member, Shadowcales are also forbidden to kill a fellow Shadowscale, so he asks you to get rid of this renegade.
You can speak to Teinaava to learn more about your target and Shadowscales.
This quest can be done anytime but must be completed before The Purification quest. If not, then the The Renegade Shadowscale quest will cause a glitch. There will be a marker always pointing where Teinaava should be, and the quest will remain stuck and incomplete for the rest of the game.
Take the Heart of an Argonian
Head to Bogwater
Head to Bogwater, a swamp located at the Black Marsh in the southeast tip of Cyrodiil. To get there, you can fast travel to Deepscorn Hollow, then follow the marker up north until you reach the swamp. You will see Scar-Tail camped there.
There are two ways to complete this quest.
| Options | Outcomes |
|---|---|
| Take Scar-Tail's Heart | Scar-Tail will die |
| Take the Argonian Corpse's Heart Nearby | Scar-Tail will remain alive and he will tell you the location of his treasure |
Option 1: Take Scar-Tail's Heart
Use stealth to sneak up on Scar-Tail and eliminate him. After killing him, take his heart.
Option 2: Take the Argonian Corpse's Heart Nearby
Talk to Scar-Tail. He will propose that you take the heart of an Argonian corpse nearby instead. Teinaava won't notice the difference. If you agree, Scar-Tail will tell you the location of his treasure as his payment.
Take the heart of the Argonian corpse nearby, which is lying next to the tree located to the west of his camp. Then take the treasure from the Hollowed-Out Rock.
Note: Alternatively, you can agree to Scar-Tail's proposition first to know the location of his treasure and then eliminate him. It is also not necessary to speak with Scar-Tail to discover the treasure's location. You can simply kill him and search the Hollowed-Out Rock near his tent to find the treasure.
Report Back to Teinaava
Head back to the Sanctuary in Cheydinhal. Talk to Teinaava to hand over the Argonian heart. This will complete the quest.
The Renegade Shadowscale Rewards
Boots of Bloody Bounding
Whichever method you chose to do the quest, by bringing an Argonian heart to Teinaava, you will receive the Boots of Bloody Bounding as a reward for completing The Renegade Shadowscale quest.
