Skyrim – Acquiring the Daedric Artifact of the Black or Azura’s Star

Click here for more Skyrim Guides
Dragonborns who are seeking powerful artifacts that they can use for their equipments can find the sixteen Daedric Artifacts that are scattered throughout the game.

Each of the artifacts in Skyrim will require you in doing a side mission. While it may sound easy, each of these quests has a requirement in order for you to trigger that quest. Some of the quests that will reward you a Daedric Artifact will require you to be at specific level as some of the bosses you will face will be hard.

Here’s the first artifact that you can get that doesn’t have any prerequisites.

The Azura’s Star

– The first thing that you would need to do to unlock the Azura’s Star quest is to listen to the rumors. A barkeep such as Hulda in Whiterun will give you information on the Shrine of Azura.
– Once you hear the rumor about it, the Shrine of Azura’s location will be on your map. If you don’t like to listen to the rumors, you can simply go there. The Shrine of Azura is located south of Winterhold, near the Mount Anthalor. It’s on the peak of the mountain from Mount Anthalor.

– Now that you’re on top of Azura’s Shrine, you’ll meet a Daedra named Aranea. Talk to her and she’ll mention that she’s been waiting for you. Talking to her will unlock the quest that will begin your hunt for the Azura’s Star.

– Your first mission is to find an elven man named Neclar in the Frozen Hearth Inn in Winterhold. He’s an enchanter and he’ll tell you more about the star.
– Upon talking to him, you’ll learn more about the Azura’s star and will tell you that it’s located in Ilinalta’s Deep.

– The location for the Deep will be on your map. Go there.

– Before you enter the deep, make sure you’re prepared as there are Necromancers and Skeltons waiting to ambush you.

– Inside the deep, there are potions, and other items that you can loot. Don’t forget to take them.

– At the end of this dungeon, you’ll find that the Azura’s Star is broken. Now you’ll have some choices to make…

Want the Azura’s Star or the Black Star

Once you obtained the broken Azura’s Star, you’ll now have to choose whether you like to turn it into a Black Star that recharges using the human souls, or the Azura’s Star where it will recharge by defeating any foes that has a soul.

For the Azura’s Star…


Let Aranea fix it for you.

For the Black Star…

Let Neclar fix it for you.

Face the Boss

Once you pick which one you would like to get in the end, you’ll have to face the boss that’s lurking inside the Star to freely use it.

Inside the Star, you’ll face Malyn. Defeat his minions and eventually kill him to free the star from his curse. Now you can use the Azura’s Star or the Black Star that you get from completing this quest.

Boethiah’s Ebony Mail

– When you reached level 30, you should be able to meet a Boethiah Cultists that will attack you. Kill him and loot the corpse to get the book of Boethiah. Read it then the quest will start.

– Now, you have to find someone to sacrifice.
Suggestion: Don’t sacrifice the follower you love to be with. Take the follower that you use the least the most. An example of this is Sven of Riverwood.

– After you picked the follower you want to sacrifice, go back to Sacellum of Boethiah and head on the upper level to find the altar.
– Talk to the follower and tell her to activate the pillar.
– Once she activated it, the pillar will suck her body. Use the Sacrifice Blade to kill her!

– Once she’s dead, Boethiah will posses her body and talk to you.

– After Boethiah gives her opening speech, she’ll ask everyone in the Sacellum that she’ll only acknowledge someone who is left standing.
– You’ll see all the cultist killing each other and will come after you. Kill them all!

– Once everyone is dead except you, Boethiah will now tell you that you need to kill her current Champion. By killing the Champion, you’ll become the new ones appointed by Boethiah.
– Head over to the Knifepoint Ridge as the Champion is located there.

– Clear out the settlement.
– You’ll face some tough bandits here. Be careful.
– Once they’re dead, follow the marker to go inside the mine where the Champion is inside waiting.

No PS4 or Xbox One Version of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

Lightning-Returns-No-Healing-890x606

Square Enix has no plans to port Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII onto the PS4 or Xbox One.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII’s design director Yuji Abe told IGN the following:

We’re not thinking about it. We set out to achieve the highest possible quality we could on the current generation of consoles, the PS3 and Xbox 360. That’s what we’ve been trying very hard to do, and we think we’re almost there. Our mission is presenting the best possible experience for gamers on those consoles. We’re not thinking about anything else, including next-gen consoles.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is the final game in the Final Fantasy XIII series. It will conclude Lightning’s story and hopefully resolve all of the loose ends at the end of the game.

Don’t worry Final Fantasy fans as Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on the PS4 while Final Fantasy XV will hit the PS4 and Xbox One sometime in the near future too.

Final Fantasy XIII-2: Recruit ‘Twilight Odin’ in Your Party

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Ultimate Wiki Guide
Despite of not having an Eidolon that players can use in battle, there’s a monster that can comes close to Lightning’s Odin that is recruitable.

Twilight Odin is considered as one of the most useful and powerful monster that can join the players’ party. Before he turns into a monster crystal, players must face and defeat him two times in two different time periods. For those who are looking for a great monster that has a Commando role; Twilight Odin will be the best bet after some light leveling.

Before players can obtain Twilight Odin, make sure that:

– Have Vile Peaks 010 AF and 200 AF unlocked in the Historia Crux
* To unlock Vile Peaks 10 AF, use a Wild Artefact on the time gate in Academia 4XX AF.
* To unlock Vile Peaks 200 AF, use a Wild Artefact on the time gate in Archylte Steppe ?? AF

VILE PEAKS 010 AF

Once you have them unlocked, make sure you start in 010AF. Talk to the Blitz Squadron that got stranded after a shadowy figure attacked their ship. Each of them will ask you to do a certain quest in regards to finding its members that got lost. Once you get to a point where it asks you for proof, go back to Historia Crux and head to 200 AF.

VILE PEAKS 200 AF

twilight-odin-515x289

In 200 AF of Vile Peaks, you’ll meet the remaining missing squadron. Go to the area where you see Twilight Odin engulfed in Shadow. Talk to the members of the squadron team and do their quest. Once you get the proof that you need, go back to 10 AF.

VILE PEAKS 010 AF

twilight-odin2-890x606

Once you show the proof to one Blitz squadron member, he’ll then ask you to investigate the shadowy figure.

twilight-odin3-515x289

In this time period, Twilight Odin is just a replica of the original form that you will fight in 200 AF. He’s much weaker in this state. Once Odin is defeated, go back to 200 AF to fight the real Odin.

VILE PEAKS 200 AF

twilight-odin4-515x289

Go back to the are where you find the Shadowy figure that the Blitz Commander is fighting. The shadow is no longer within Odin and now you can fight his true form. This time, it’s somewhat harder as he can use Zantetsuken, which can wipe out your party. It’s recommended that you stagger him and keep on attacking. I suggest to be more aggressive in this battle.
