The Staff of Magnus is the College questline’s big dungeon. The only artifact that can counter the Eye of Magnus lies in Labyrinthian, the ruined city of Bromjunaar – guarded by the Dragon Priest Morokei.

Walkthrough

Use the Torc of Labyrinthian to open the door. Inside, the ghosts of an old College expedition – led by Atmah and including a young Savos Aren – show you how that trip ended. Fight your way through draugr and skeletons deep into the ruin. At the end, two enthralled mages keep a barrier around Morokei; break it and defeat him to take the Staff. On your way out you’re ambushed by Thalmor agents. Return to Tolfdir.

Rewards
