Skyrim Sidequest – Complete Companions Subquest Guide

Skyrim Sidequest – Complete Companions Subquest Guide

Click here for more Skyrim Guides

After starting the Companions Faction Quests, you may come to a point where it seems you cannot access the next quest to progress the Companions story. The reason for this is because certain quests, such as Proving Honor, or Blood’s Honor, require that you complete one or more Companions Subquests before being given access to more story quests.

The Companions Subquests become available in phases; the first phase of subquests become available after completing the Take Up Arms quest. The second phase of subquests are only available after completing the main quest The Silver Hand. The third and final phase of subquests opens up once the last Companions Main quest: Glory of the Dead has been completed.

The twelve of the thirteen Companions Subquests all have a randomized factor to them; the one exception being the Purity subquest in the final phase. Below we have listed all thirteen Companions Subquests.

Phase 1 Subquests

Animal Extermination Part 1

Subquest Companion: Aela the Huntress
Speak to Aela and see what type of work she has available. Her first subquest will require that you kill some random animal that has found its way into the home or business of a random resident of Skyrim. Travel to the reported location of the disturbance, kill said animal, return to Aela and inform her that the animal has been dealt with to complete the subquest.

Animal Extermination Part 2

Subquest Companion: Aela the Huntress
The next job that Aela will have for you is to clear out a random animal den that she will mark on your map. Once the den is clear, return to Jorrvaskr and inform Aela of your deed to complete this subquest.

Hired Muscle

Subquest Companion: Farkas
When asking Farkas for some work, he will explain that a random citizen has requested the help if the Companions. It seems said citizen needs a random ruffian ruffed up a bit to end a dispute between the two. Head on over to the location given to you by Farkas and beat up, NOT KILL, the ruffian (just use your fists to be safe). Return to Farkas in Jorrvaskr to inform him of your actions to receive your reward and complete the subquest.

Trouble in Skyrim

Subquest Companion: Farkas
This time around, Farkas informs you of a random group that is causing trouble and it is your job to kill their leader. Once the location is provided, head there and proceed to kill everyone. Once the leader has been dispatched, head back to Farkas and inform him that the leader has been dealt with to complete this subquest. Note: only the leader needs to be killed in order to complete this subquest, so if the opportunity presents itself where you can slay just the leader and leave unnoticed, do so.
