Detailed Walkthrough

Slaughterfish Problem

Aelwin Merowald can be found walking around his house in Weye after about 7 or 8 in the morning. Talk to him and go through his dialogue in order to receive a quest to kill twelve Rumare Slaughterfish. When talking to him, it is advisable to not select the option to laugh at him, since laughing will decrease his disposition towards you by 60 points and end the conversation. If you lower his disposition below 20, he will not even start a conversation with you; a Charm spell will be necessary to get his disposition over 20 and receive the quest.

Gone Fishing

Follow the quest marker to find and kill each fish. It may be necessary to search the area around where the marker points because it is not always accurate. The Detect Life spell is useful for locating the fish. It is also much easier to fish during the day.

Once you've collected the scales from the first fish, the marker should point to the next one (there might be a short delay). If the marker doesn't update, try hitting the fish's corpse or leaving and waiting for a few hours somewhere else. Continue this until you have all twelve scales. The quest isn't timed and the fish don't move, so you do not have to complete it all at once.

Talk to Aelwin again and he will give you a unique ring called the Jewel of the Rumare, which is enchanted with Water Breathing and Fortify Athletics 4 points, a rather nice reward for such a simple task.

Retirement Savings

Aelwin mentions that the fish scales will be sold to an alchemist and the money made will contribute to his savings for his retirement. If you are the thieving type, select the Where are your savings? dialogue option. If you increase his disposition to at least 70, he'll mention that his savings are locked in a box in his house and he has the key. After Aelwin tells you this, you can pick his pocket for the key or kill him and take it. The chest is located to the left of the fireplace in his house, though there is only a small amount of gold in the chest. Note that the key will not appear in his inventory if you do not successfully ask him about his savings.

Notes

  • The following two Journal discrepancies occur:
  • Although the quest journal says that the Weye settlement is southwest of the Imperial City, it is actually due west.
  • The quest journal states that Aelwin is getting too old, therefore you need to do the legwork for him. Aelwin however says the reason he can't get the scales is because a slaughterfish injured his leg.
  • After you finish the quest, you can pickpocket Aelwin and take back the Rumare Slaughterfish Scales, but it's not recommended to do so as they are still classified as quest items and can't be sold or removed from your inventory. They will also be stuck in your inventory if you happen to collect the scales, but Aelwin dies before you can hand them over.
  • Aelwin is located very close to the wilderness, so he might wander off and feed the local wolves. If that happens, you will have to resurrect him using the console, using the command Resurrect 00185FE1, but on Xbox or PS3 you cannot complete the quest.
  • The only way to get the Jewel of the Rumare is if Aelwin hands it to you; the ring will not be on his corpse if you kill him.
  • It is not advised that you kill the fish before making the quest active, as it may lead to the marker indefinitely pointing to the first fish.

Bugs

  • There seems to be a problem for some users where one of the fish is stuck inside a rock in the pond. There is also a problem with the marker pointing at the location of the fish that has just been killed. There appears to be no direct fix to either problem using the console or otherwise. The TCL command via console shows no fish inside the rock and movetoqt places the player hovering a few feet above the water. Creating the scales in your inventory using the console doesn't make the quest continue.
    • PC Only This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Oblivion Patch.
    • Resurrecting a slaughterfish with the resurrect command and then killing it can be used to finish the quest if the player has already killed one fish but the next one is stuck or cannot be found.
    • Alternatively, simply search the lake for other Rumare Slaughterfish (see next tip). Unfortunately, this can be a slow and frustrating business. However, it is possible to use the console to spawn new fish directly in front of you: player.placeatme <formid>, where <formid> ranges from 00068825 through 00068829 (see Rumare Slaughterfish for details).
  • The fish sometimes spawn out of the water, making it difficult or impossible to attack them. Area of effect spells can be used to relocate them in the water, but you may have to reload an earlier save.
  • Some of the Rumare Slaughterfish spawns are not initially disabled properly which can lead to the quest incorrectly updating stages if the player picks up the scales from the corpses. This will then cause other stages to misfire, leading to the quest not enabling new targets when it should.
  • Each time you ask Aelwin "Where are your savings?" a copy of his key is added to his inventory, meaning he can end up with several copies.
  • Aelwin's retirement savings chest was supposed to contain a minimum of 500 gold (a fixed amount combined with a leveled amount) but due to an engine bug the 500 never appears, only the much smaller leveled amount.

Stage Finishes Quest Journal Entry
Notes
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
  • If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
  • Ficheiro:Pc22.png It is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage SQ09 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
