Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Job[edit]

Gentleman Jim Stacey at Simine Fralinie's Bookshop, in Vivec's Foreign Quarter Canalworks, wants you to kill Sjoring Hard-Heart in the Vivec Guild of Fighters to remove the influence of the Camonna Tong from the Fighters Guild.

Kill Hard-Heart[edit]

Sjoring Hard-Heart can be found in the basement of Vivec's Guild of Fighters in the Foreign Quarter Plaza. Despite being Master of the Fighters Guild, he is an average opponent. Frenzy Humanoid or Taunt can be used to force him to strike first, in order to avoid any negative consequences when killing him. Command Humanoid or Charm spells can be used to lead him to an isolated area before attacking.

Once the job is done, return to Gentleman Jim Stacey to be rewarded with The Skeleton Key, as well as a promotion to Master Thief. Jim Stacey will disappear from the game after this quest, so finish up any remaining quests with him first.

Notes[edit]

  • If you plan on finishing the Fighters Guild's quests, you should speak with Percius Mercius about his final quest. That way, you can return to each guild with the final promotion to head of guild.
  • Close the door to Hard-Heart's room before you attack him, otherwise the guild members will be alerted and assist him. They will not attack you if Hard-Heart is already dead, but they will prevent you from looting his room.

Bugs[edit]

  • Speaking to Gentleman Jim Stacey about Sjoring Hard-Heart will start this final quest even if you haven't completed any of the other Thieves Guild quests. Completing the quest at this point will prevent you from completing any of Jim Stacey's earlier guild quests. For he will disappear from the game as he usually would after completing this quest.
    • Also if you killed Hard-Heart early and then speak to Jim Stacey on the topic of Sjoring Hard-Heart for the first time, the quest will be completed even though you didn't have the job. Like above, completing this quest will prevent you from completing any of his previous jobs.
