Skyrim boasts an abundance of captivating content that never fails to enthrall players, and the continual addition of new content by its developers only adds to its allure. One such example is the inclusion of the Spell Knight armor, which was initially exclusive to the Creation Club but can now be obtained by embarking on a quest in the recently released Skyrim: Anniversary Edition.
It is important to mention that the Spell Knight armor boasts three distinct variants, all of which can be obtained by successfully completing the Crypt of the Heart quest. Delve further into this article to discover invaluable tips and insights on how to successfully navigate the quest and acquire the esteemed Spell Knight Armor.
How to Get the Spell Knight Armor in Skyrim
Begin at the fragment content:
To begin your quest, make your way to the City of Markath and make your way inside the Silver-Blood Inn. Once inside, take a right and enter the doorway that leads to a flight of stairs. On a table in this area, you will find the Crypt of the Heart book. Take a moment to read this book as it serves as the starting point for your adventure.
Your first objective is to travel south of Markath in search of the Ghost Knight. Use fast travel to reach Dushnikh Yal and then head towards the bridge. As you make your way across the bridge, be sure to collect the Red Mountain Flower that can be found in the center. Take out any enemies that may pose a threat before continuing.
Follow the Ghost Knight to his burial site. Along the way, you will come across a group of bandits that must be dealt with. Once you have eliminated the bandits, you will have an opportunity to loot the Iron Spell Knight Armor as well as the Steel Spell Knight Armor.
In addition, players will come across the Forsworn Shaman’s Note, which they must read in order to proceed to the next task. This note will provide them with a clue leading to the second objective, which involves searching for the Stolen Heart at Karthspire. To reach this location, players can utilize the fast travel option to Soljund’s Sinkhole. Once there, they will need to eliminate a group of bandits before stumbling upon the Corrupted Human Heart, which is placed in a bowl. After acquiring the heart, players should make their way back to the Knight’s Tomb.
At this point, players have the choice to return the Corrupted Human Heart in order to successfully complete the Crypt of the Heart quest. As a reward for their accomplishment, they will be granted the Ebony Knight Armor.
Players have the opportunity to undertake the Purify Knight Heart at the Altar quest in order to obtain an enhanced edition of the Ebony Knight Armor.
Regrettably, this optional quest experiences some technical issues which hinder players from successfully purifying the heart. However, a viable solution to this problem is to install a Nexusmods patch. Additionally, disabling the Survival mode and patiently waiting for a certain period of time can also rectify the issue.
Skyrim is available on PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch.
