Every Daedric Prince In Skyrim

Jyggalag

In the Elder Scrolls universe, there was a time when Jyggalag was without a doubt the most powerful Daedric Prince. His power was so great that the other Daedra plotted against him and used his other self, Sheogorath, to curse him. Fans who finished the Shivering Isles DLC for Oblivion know that Jyggalag’s curse has been broken. Even though the Prince’s curse has been broken, he still needs to get his power back. Since Jyggalag isn’t in Skyrim at all, it’s safe to say that his power is still in its early stages.

Jyggalag’s Sword

For players to get the feared sword of Jyggalag, they must first complete the quest Resorting Order. During this quest, players will go into the Solitude Sewers, where they will find a strange and unique sword stuck into a tree.

Players can also find a unique form of Jyggalag’s Sword in Skyrim during The Mind of Madness quest, where it is used as a piece of cutlery and can be picked up by the player if they want to while in Pelagius’ Mind.

Clavicus Vile

Clavicus Vile isn’t worshipped by many people, he is shown as two beings instead of one, and his power isn’t very strong in most Elder Scrolls games. Clavicus Vile has a lot of Daedric Artifacts to his name, but that is the only thing this Prince has done in Skyrim.

A Daedra’s Best Friend

To meet Clavicus Vile, players will have to talk to Barbas, who is his loyal dog. Once players have returned Barbas to Clavicus Vile’s shrine at Haemar’s Shame, they will be able to talk to the Deadric Prince and may even get a prize if they are nice enough to ask for one, or if they are rather murderous.

The player will have to give back the Rueful Axe or use it to kill Barbas. Clavicus Vile would like to talk to the Dragonborn no matter what, even if he doesn’t seem to care about what his loyal dog is up to. Barbas can be found near the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, which is close to Falkreath. This is where players can start this quest.

Peryite

Different books and the tips on the loading screen of Skyrim talk about how weak Peryite is compared to other Princes. Pestilence, disease, and order are what he is known for (not to be confused with Jyggalag’s full order), which makes him sound weak on paper. He hasn’t done much to show that this isn’t true, but some people think that Peryite is just waiting for the right time to show how powerful he really is.

The Only Cure

From Kesh the Clean at the Shrine to Peryite, players can start The Only Cure, a quest in which they help the Daedric Prince Peeryite get a special reward. In this quest, players have to go get a bunch of items and then kill Orchendor.

When players finish this quest, they’ll be able to talk to Peryite, and when they do, they’ll get the Spellbreaker shield. Talking to a Daedric Prince is always fun, even if that being needs poison to talk to the famous Dragonborn.

Namira

The Daedric Prince of Darkness is Namira. She is in charge of all things that are against the rules, like eating and scumbags. Few people know about her plane of Oblivion and Namira’s full power, which makes most humans afraid of her. Similar to Sanguine, Namira hasn’t done much on the human plane, so she isn’t as strong as other Princes in the Fourth Era.

The Taste Of Death

To feel more like Namira, you have to eat human flesh. The leader of this hungry group, Eola, will help players through this journey of cannibalism as they play The Taste of Death. In order to find a Daedric prize, the quest takes players through the Hall of the Dead and the Shrine of Namira.

When players decide to eat human meat, they can talk to Namira, the Lady of Decay. She gives the Dragonborn the Ring of Namira. This ring lets players eat human flesh, which gives them +50 health, +50 stamina, and +50 health recovery for five minutes.

Sanguine

The Daedric Prince of dark desire is Sanguine. This Daedric Prince is based on gluttony and sin, which is mostly why so many people worship him. Since he can affect more mortals when they worship him, this means that Sanguine is likely much stronger than he lets on. Still, he hasn’t done much with that power that people can see.

A Night To Remember

In A Night to Remember, the Dragonborn goes on a bender that leaves them dazed and confused. In this Daedric Quest, the player will have a drinking fight with Sam Guevenne. The winner will get a magic staff. But at The Misty Grove, Sam Guevenne isn’t what he seems to be.

It turns out that “Sanguine” is a backwards spelling of “Sam,” and the players were having a party with a Daedric Prince. Even if the player doesn’t remember it, they can have a fun night with the Daedric Prince. At least the Daedric Artifact, the Sanguine Rose, is a reminder of their good night together.

Meridia

Meridia is a great example of a strong being who has lost their way. Meridia was once a Magna Ge, which is one of the older species that ran away when “Mundus” was made. Meridia went from being a Magna Ge to a Daedric Prince for no clear reason.

She has a lot of power because she can bend light to hit the dead. She can only act through her managers, which is a shame. You can only do so much by yelling at people to put Meridia’s Beacon.

The Break Of Dawn

After reaching Level 12, players may find Meridia’s Beacon in a random place. Then they will have to take it back to the Statue of Meridia. Meridia will give the player the job of getting rid of the darkness that has taken over her temple.

In this quest, players will fight against Malkoran’s necromancers. By doing what Meridia wants, players will get the amazing Dawnbreaker sword. This is also one of the few times when Meridia, as the picture of great light, will talk directly to the player.

Mephala

The Daedric Prince of secrets and lies is Mephala. She is called a “Webspinner” because she meddles with the Chimer, leading them to Morrowind and helping the Dunmer make their clans or “Houses.” She is also the one who started the Morag Tong. Without her, there wouldn’t be a Dark Brotherhood, and many of the most memorable parts of the series wouldn’t have happened. Even so, the Morag Tong’s fall has made her much weaker in the human realm.

The Whispering Door

There is a secret in Whiterun, and a young boy is afraid of a dark door. Inside The Bannered Mare, players can start The Whispering Door quest, which sends them to Dragonsreach to find out more about the strange Whispering Lady, who hides behind a locked door. The player must figure out who this Whispering Lady is and what she wants with the unhappy son of the Jarl of Whiterun.

Mephala, the Lady of Whispers, is the person behind this whispering voice. Players should be afraid of her because she weaves webs of love, hate, loyalty, and betrayal. Players will have to figure out how to open the door, and once they do, they will find the Ebony Blade, a sword that is filled with darkness.

Vaermina

Vaermina is a Daedric Prince who is stronger than she seems because she can use the power of dreams. She comes to people’s dreams and makes their peaceful sleep into a nightmare. Some wizards think that Vaermina’s power over dreams is directly linked to where magic comes from. Based on what people say in Morrowind, Vaermina also seems to know how to heal vampires.

Waking Nightmare

In Skyrim, being a priest can be hard, especially since Daedric beings seem to love being in charge of how people pray. Erandur is a priest of Mara and can be found in Dawnstar. He used to be a priest of Vaermina. His job, along with that of the Dragonborn, is to stop the dreams that are making people in Dawnstar sick.

In this task, the Daedric Prince Vaermina, who tells the Dragonborn to kill Erandur, is said to be tricked. This terrifying Daedric Lord is in charge of dreams and other mental pains and evils, and players should not listen to her pleas for help.

Nocturnal

Some games and books call Nocturnal an Ur-Dra, which means she was the first of her kind. This makes her a strange Deadric Prince. In this case, it means that before Mundus and Oblivion were made, it was just the void. If you take this at face value, she is the strongest Daedric Prince without a doubt.

Still, her words in The Elder Scrolls Online are the only thing that can be used to back up these claims. Even though this is true, she is still a very powerful Prince who has a lot of power because skilled thieves and Nightingales worship her.

Darkness Returns

The main quest line for the Thieves Guild will lead the player to the Twilight Sepulcher, where they will have to give the Skeleton Key back to Nocturnal, the Daedric Prince of night and darkness, to finish their goal.

Players will be able to face this Daedric Prince after going through many trials. Nocturnal will come up to the Dragonborn and talk to them for a while. After that, players may have lost the Skeleton Key, but as a Nightingale, they have new skills that help them sneak around.

Hircine

Hircine’s job is to hunt. This Daedric Prince will start a “Great Hunt” every thousand years, sending his creations into Tamriel to hunt “prey.” The goals of each “Great Hunt” can be very different, but the Bloodmoon update for Morrowind shows how destructive they can be. Hircine also gave birth to the disease Lycanthropy, which turns people into beasts. His artifacts, such as the Savior’s Hide and the Spear of Bitter Mercy, are also interesting to look at.

Ill Met By Moonlight

To get on Hircine’s good side, players will have to help Sinding, a werewolf made by the Daedric Prince. The Dragonborn will get Hircine’s Ring if they help this werewolf escape the hunt against him. It’s easy for players to get this quest once they go to Falkreath.

During the hunt, players will see a blood moon and a different kind of forest. The decision of whether to hunt Sinding or the hunters is up to them, but either way, they will talk to another Daedric Prince and cross him off their list of god-celebrities.

Malacath

What better way for a Daedric Prince to show how powerful they are than to have the whole world worship them? Even though Orcs don’t trust Daedra, most of them still worship Malacath, the Exiled One. He used to be an Aedra named Trinimac, but Boethiah tricked him and his friends into becoming Orcs. Most Daedra don’t see him as a real Prince, but he doesn’t need them to accept him because he only needs his Orc people to take Tamriel.

The Cursed Tribe

Orc tribes follow the Daedric Lord Malacath and usually don’t like to talk to people from other places. They don’t like people coming near their camps, but when Yamarz, the Largashbur king, gets sick from a curse, he makes an exception.

Players have to find Malacath and talk to him so he can help lead the Orc group. As a reward for this job, they will get Malacath’s artifact, which is Volendrung’s powerful two-handed weapon.

Boethiah

Even though players don’t talk to Boethiah very much, the Prince of Plots is incredibly strong. Because of Boethiah, Trinimac changed his name to Malacath, the Aldmer became the Chimer, and the Dunmer have a weird faith. Dark Elves worship Boethiah, even though their philosophy is based on pain. Boethiah is one of the Princes with the most power.

Boethiah’s Calling

When a player reaches Level 30, they should look for the book Boethiah’s Proving, which will appear in different places. When they read this book, the Boethiah’s Calling quest will start, and they will have to go to the cold parts of the Sacellum of Boethiah.

The strange thing about this quest is that you have to kill the whole group of Boethiah after talking to Boethiah. After getting rid of everyone at Knifepoint Ridge, players will get the Ebony Mail weapon.

Hermaeus Mora

Hermaeus Mora is the Daedric Prince of knowledge. He is said to be the sum of all the Aedra’s lost thoughts. He knows everything because his realm, Apocrypha, has every book that has ever been written and will ever be written.

Even though the Prince knows a lot, he can’t do anything on his own. Artifacts like the powerful Oghma Infinium could not be made by Hermaeus Mora himself. Instead, they had to be made by humans.

Discerning The Transmundane

When players reach Septimus Signus’s Outpost during the main quest of Backrooms Game, Elder Knowledge, Septimus Signus will give them this quest. In this quest, players will meet Hermaeus Mora, a terrible being and Daedric Prince.

When players meet this scary Daedra, they will be given a cruel way to kill it, followed by the Oghma Infinium, a one-time item that, thanks to the power of Hermaeus Mora, boosts a set of skills permanently.

Molag Bal

The Prince of Domination has had a lot of power in the human world. He has tried to take over Tamriel from Coldharbour with his Dark Anchors. Molag Bal was beaten, but he never gave up on his goal of being in charge of all mortals. As the father of vampires, he has never really stopped being scary.

The House Of Horrors

In Markarth’s Abandoned House, players will find ghosts that will scare them, especially if they find the Shrine of Molag Bal, which is hidden inside. This is the beginning of the quest The House of Horrors, which has to do with Molag Bal.

Players can earn Molag Bal’s favor by taking his club and using it on Logrolf, beating him until he gives up, and then killing him. Molag Bal is a Daedric Prince, and he is a pretty scary one. Players should be careful around him.

Azura

It would be a huge insult to say that Azura is strong. She is to blame for the Nerevar’s rebirth in Morrowind, for the curse that turned the Chimer into the Dunmer, and for the Khajiit’s survival. Her impact on mortal society is clear from the many shrines to her that can be found all over Tamriel. She has a lot of followers, some of the most powerful Artifacts in The Elder Scrolls, and she won’t think twice about cursing an entire race of people for breaking an oath.

The Black Star

Aranea Lenith will look for the Dragonborn and give them the job of finding Azura’s Star and restoring its great power at the Shrine of Azura on top of a mountain in Winterhold. To talk to this Daedric Lord, players will have to get rid of the darkness and kill the feared and evil necromancers.

Players can choose to help either Azura or Nelacar, but it’s probably best to help Azura since they’ll want to stay friends with a Daedric Lord and it’s always nice to get a new Daedric Artifact and talk to an actual god.

Mehrunes Dagon

Fans of The Elder Scrolls should already know about Mehrunes Dagon. This Daedric Prince of Destruction wants to kill so many people that he has attacked Tamriel three times. In the First Era, he attacked Mournhold. In the Second Era, he attacked the Imperial Battlespire. In the Third Era, he even tried to take over the whole continent. This attack was so bad that the Oblivion Crisis had to be stopped by calling on Akatosh, the God of Time. Mehrunes Dagon is strength itself.

Pieces Of The Past

The owner of a museum in Dawnstar wants the Dragonborn to come see their collection of Daedric artifacts. The Museum of the Mythic Dawn needs donations and new finds very much. This is where the Dragonborn comes in, because they can help Silus Vesulus find and repair Mehrunes’ Razor, a Daedric artifact.

As players finish parts of this quest, they will be able to talk to Dagon, another Daedric Prince who, of course, wants Silus to die. The Daedra have a strange fixation on murder, and the Dragonborn is a part of it.

Sheogorath

Sheogorath is the most powerful Daedric Prince in The Elder Scrolls because he is crazy. Sheogorath has had no trouble beating Hircine, Malacath, and Vaermina because he thinks outside the box. He has also changed Mundus in ways that shouldn’t be possible, like throwing a moon at Vivec City just because the Dunmer didn’t like him. He doesn’t know what will happen next, is sneaky, and can break rules that most Daedra have to follow. That is a sure way to get a lot of power.

The Mind Of Madness

In The Mind of Madness, which is possibly the best Daedric Quest in Skyrim, the player meets Sheogorath, the most strange, charming, and happy Daedric Prince of them all. Players will have to find Dervenin in Solitude and go to the Pelagius Wing to tell Sheogorath it’s time for him to come home from his break.

The quest is a lot of fun, and the times you talk to Sheogorath are famous. The fact that players will be able to keep the Wabbajack, a Daedric artifact with some strange traits and powers, might be even better.
