The Mind of Madness

The Mind of Madness: step into the dead Emperor Pelagius' mind in Solitude's Blue Palace, meet Sheogorath and use the Wabbajack to cure his madness.

Objectives

  1. Gain access to the Pelagius Wing of the Blue Palace
  2. Use the key to enter the Pelagius Wing
  3. Search for Dervenin's master
  4. Use the Wabbajack to escape from Pelagius' mind

The Mind of Madness is Sheogorath’s Daedric quest – and as weird as you’d expect. You end up inside the mind of Pelagius the Mad, a long-dead emperor, having tea with the Prince of Madness.

How to start

Talk to Dervenin, a ragged man in Solitude. His master is “on vacation” in the Pelagius Wing of the Blue Palace, and he gives you Pelagius’ Hip Bone.

Walkthrough

The wing is locked. Get the key from one of the maids by saying the steward Falk asked you to clean up – or from Falk himself if he likes you. Walk down the red-carpeted hallway on the second floor and you’re pulled into Pelagius’ mind. Your gear is gone; Sheogorath hands you the Wabbajack and tells you the only way out is to “treat” Pelagius’ troubled mind. Solve three puzzles using the staff to escape – and keep the Wabbajack.
