Step 4
– You must have a House.
– Sleep in your bed and you’ll meet the member of the Dark Brotherhood.
– Kill any of the three
– Astrid will ask you to go to their Sanctuary, south of Pinewood Cave.
– With Friends Like These… Quest Begins for the Dark Brotherhood
Step 5
– Talk to the Door
– Say the passcode you received from Astrid
– Welcome to the Dark Brotherhood
So what do I get for joining?
– You’ll receive the Dark Brotherhood armor as a welcome gift.
– Doing your assassination contract will reward you money.
– Take note that killing someone will affect you in some way
– It’s advisable to do Dark Brotherhood quest after finishing the campaign.
how do you buy a house?
You don’t need a house. Sleep in an inn. I did it and I’ve joined the Brotherhood.
you do need a house. i used an in and it didn’t work. takes forever to get to the sanctuary though haha :P
you buy a house by talking to a Jarl, getting their permission, then paying their steward 5000 gold
Easier? You just had to murder someone in Oblivion. How is this easier? Sounds like a pain in the ass to me.
You can kill Astrid in the shack before killing one of the three people and you will start an alternative quest….some like “down with the dar brotherhood”….but screw that i wanna be an assassin!
no i did it in an Inn as well, it’s the same as it was in oblivion.
lol idk how to do it just started so hope i figureit out
its not working for me everytime i go in the house the kids not there
do the college of winterhold quest line, u become the arch-mage and get his room and all his stuff lol. Free house in a castle
you do NOT need a house. If you have a room by any of the guilds, companions, mages. I would assume an Inn would work too. Then sleep for 8+ hrs, and it will trigger. I just did it with the college, worked fine. Basically you just need a place to sleep. You must have done the one quest though, ‘saving’ the orphans and killed the old lady.
Do you really need to wait until the campaign is complete? I loved the dark brotherhood quest line in Oblivion and want to get started now… thoughts?
YOU don’t need to have a house!!!! just sleep in a bed
I was wondering the same as JGnuzz. What exactly does it do to you after killing someone and can I start it before finishing the campaign? A little anxious heh.
do main quest first is NOT true. The devs even said it themselves that due to radiant story system if you kill a quest giver then it won’t break quests like it did in morrowind and oblivion.
Also the npc’s marked usually only exist as marks for the brotherhood and it would be doubtful to make main quest giver a target unless it was relevant to storyline you chose (eg. kill astrid to start down with brotherhood etc etc)
You don’t need a house, I selpt at an inn – but you do need to wait to recieve the letter with a black hand print on it saying “We Know” – Then sleep. Job done.
The house is closer to the middle of Windhelm
I got all the way to the end and keep doing the same assassination quest from the Night Mother, is this supposed to happen? cause the easy 800 gold is nice but i want to be done with the brotherhood or at least progress further.
That’s because the Dark Brotherhoods quests go in Acts. I.E Act 1, Act 2, etc. In order to progress further into the Dark Brotherhood you have to progress further with the main campaign, which also goes with Acts.
i heard that a courier comes to you but i guess thats not true :P
YOU DO NOT NEED A KEY
SLEEP IN ANY INN OR BED FOR 8 HOURS AFTER DOING THE INNOCENCE LOST QUEST
kill a random person in the middle of nowhere ( so you dont get bounty) …wait a day or two..then sleep in an inn. Works everytime!
do it have to be right after you do it
