# Step-by-step Walkthrough
1 Stendarr
Inside the chapel, locate the Gauntlets of the Crusader on the floor near the altar. They will be surrounded by candles and flowers.

The gauntlets will be too heavy to lift.
3 Stendarr
Speak with Areldur, a priest in the chapel. He will explain that the gauntlets are cursed and cannot be moved.
5 Stendarr
Descend to the Chapel Hall and find Kellen resting in a room to the right. He believes Areldur is withholding information about the curse.
6 Stendarr
Return to Areldur and inquire further about Kellen. Areldur will admit that the only way to lift the curse from Kellen is for someone else to take it upon themselves.
7 Stendarr
Approach the Altar of the Nine in the chapel. Activate the altar and choose to accept the curse.
8 Stendarr
You will be granted the Magicka spell Lay Hands.
9 Stendarr
Equip the Lay Hands spell, cast Lay Hands on Kellen, this will transfer the curse to you and free him.
10 Stendarr
You can now pick up the Gauntlets of the Crusader without them being too heavy.
10 Stendarr
Upon accepting the curse, you will be afflicted with the Curse of the Consumed, which continuously drains your fatigue by 5 points per second. This curse will persist until you receive The Blessing of Talos later in the Knights of the Nine questline.
