Follow our guide to complete 'The Wish' quest in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Learn how to enter the Twilight Sepulcher, defeat Nightingale Sentinels, and find Nystrom's Journal.

Alright, so you're ready to tackle 'The Wish.' This quest picks up after you've finished 'Blindsighted.'

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, make your way west until you find the Twilight Sepulcher. It's located near a mountain stream, so keep an eye out for that. Once you arrive, head down the path.
  2. 2
    You'll need to speak with the Nightingale Sentinel. Surprise! It's actually Gallus. Chat with him and hear his story. While you're there, you can ask a few more questions to unlock an optional objective: finding Nystrom's Journal.
  3. 3
    To get that journal, head east. You'll find Nystrom's skeleton. Loot it to grab Nystrom's Journal. You'll usually find an enchanted weapon near his remains too, so don't miss that.
  4. 4
    After reading the journal, move south through the iron doors. Your first real challenge is in the next room: you'll have to defeat three Nightingale Sentinels. Make sure you take them all down before moving on.

Warning: The next room is pretty dangerous, and if you die there, you'll have to backtrack quite a bit. It's highly recommended that you save your game right after defeating those three Sentinels.
