WUUNFERTH THE UNLIVING BUG FULL

When you head outside, the Stone Quarter will be incredibly quiet. While he will reject Calixto's Wheelstone theory on the spot, he will reveal that he has noted a pattern in the location and timing of the killings, and will end up asking you to keep watch in the Stone Quarters at night, as he predicts the killer will strike again. He will then identify it as the rare and legendary Necromancer Amulet. When you tell him about the journal and the amulet, he will deny any knowledge of a journal and will ask for the shape of the amulet. When you tell him that the Butcher has claimed yet another victim, he will point out that he is behind bars and take a stab at your abilities as an investigator. Head to the barracks underneath the Palace and speak to the wizard. A new quest with the same name will pop up in your journal, and the guard will suggest you attempt to make things right by talking to the imprisoned Wuunferth. The guard will be devastated and quick to inform you of your failure. A guard will be standing next to yet another slain victim (she is on the right of Candlehearth Hall when looking from the Palace of the Kings) an Altmer named Arivanya from Windhelm Stables.

WUUNFERTH THE UNLIVING BUG FULL

Follow up on the CluesĪfter three full calendar days spent outside Windhelm, you will see some familiar scenery upon your return. If you want to avoid investigating Hjerim with Viola later on, pick up one of the journals as well. Before leaving, make sure you have a pamphlet and the strange amulet in your inventory. Read the pamphlet to learn about a Windhelm citizen named Viola Giordano. This is the last piece of evidence, so make sure to pick it up. It contains even more pamphlets, but also a strange amulet.

Leave the room, and investigate the small shelf between the wardrobes. Investigate the altar and pick up the Butcher Journal #2 for more evidence.

This will reveal the killers' hideout, a room filled with bones, bloody remains and the suspected embalming tools. The wardrobe to the right is nailed to the wall, so open it and remove the false back panel. Ignore the mead scattered on the floor and proceed to the two wardrobes in the western alcove. Even though your quest journal now encourages you to follow up on these clues, keep looking around the house. The blood trail leads to a chest in the southeastern corner, so investigate it and pry it open inside, you will find 11 pamphlets called Beware the Butcher! along with the Butcher Journal #1. When entering Hjerim, a quest update will immediately tell you to look for clues, so take a look around.
