Is killing Vivec a good idea? *possible spoiler*

Post by King Malus »

hey i killed vivec and i got this message that says something about me severing the thread of prophecy. thing is, i had already finished the game...
my question is, should i heed this message? like, i know that technically i dont need him anymore, but i felt really guilty about 'creating a doomed world'. should i just ignore this message?

Good idea if.... You have finished the main quest and soul trapped him.
Bad idea if you didn't do either of the above (PS you're going to need azura's star.)

Personally i don't see any reason why i should kill Vivec, what's there to gain? It's not that he's some evil usurper or anything, so i just leave him in peace.

It's pointless killing him if you didn't ST him. Sure, now you can go around telling everyone "I killed Vivec" but nobody will believe you.

tbh if u read all the stuff going threw the main quest, i thought of vivec as a false god... but if u do the temple hes like... mother teresa. didnt know u could soul trap him, ill have to do that and find out what hes worth, but other then that i do know of 1 good thing that can come from killing him


UBER SPOILER
Spoiler
ok so i killed vivec myself once back in the day, found this thing on him that was worthless, did a search, found out it was the 2nd wraithguard. never actually got it myself cause vivec is a pain to kill with low fatigue. i dont remember exactly how to get it so did a search (google ftw)

The second Wraithguard can be created after you gather three items: The 'Unique Dwemer Artifact', Kagrenac's journal and Kagrenac's planbook.

The first item, the Unique Dwemer Artifact, is the unenchanted second wraithguard, and you can only get it by killing the demi-god Vivec. He is, however, an essential NPC for the game's main quest so you should only kill him after you have completed the main quest (or if you do not care to finish it at all). The item will be on his corpse.

At this point you can take the 'dwemer' artifact (which looks like nothing more than a daedric gauntlet) to the last of the Dwemer, Yagrum Bagarn, who reside's in Tel Fyr in the corprusareum. He will ask you to retrieve two of Kagrenac's books. (note: Have the Unique Dwemer Artifact and the written plans to defeat Dagoth Ur with you, as Yagrum examines these items before he agrees to help you.)

The first book, Kagrenac's journal, is held by the NPC Dagoth Endus. He is a rather polite fellow, and even offers you a valuable drink before you attempt to chop each other up. He can be found within the Ghostfence at Endusal (which is to the west of Odrosal, near the Ghostgate). Kill him, and Kagrenac's journal will be on his corpse.

Two down, and one to go. The final item, Kagrenac's plans, can be taken from Dagoth Tureynul (who is located in Tureynulal, which is also inside the ghostfence and just northeast of Odrosal). This NPC is less polite than his brother, and will skip pleasantries and jump right to fighting you. That's alright, though; just kill him in whatever manner you please and pluck from his corpse the second of Kagrenac's books.

Now that you have everything you will need, travel back to Yagrum in Tel Fyr. The Dwemer will ask you to wait a day while he studies the books, so sit tight (note: If you have a guarskin drum in your inventory, the corprus beasts in this area will not attack you).

After 24 in-game hours have passed, Yagrum will warn you to fortify your health as much as possible before he 'harmonizes the wraithguard to your magicka signature'. In layman's terms: this gauntlet is going to bite you, and hard - it will instantly (and perminently) leech 200 hitpoints from your character. This only happens once, though, and after that you will have another wraithguard that is just as powerful as the first.

edit: can one of u forum mods do that thing that makes it "highlight to read"
If you read the sticky thread at the top of the forum, you'll know how to do it, yourself.

Please don't use messagespeak ("u" for "you," no apostrophes, etc.) on the board. Thanks.
