Background[]
While exploring the Soul Cairn, I've come across the soul of a strange Dunmer named Jiub. He claims to be writing the second volume of his life's story but lacks the notes from his first in order to complete it. He's asked for my help in locating the pages which are likely spread across the entire Soul Cairn...quite a daunting task.
Walkthrough[]
Jiub asks the Dragonborn to find the ten pages of his book spread across the Soul Cairn. Upon completion of this quest, the Dragonborn will be rewarded with the Locket of Saint Jiub and a pristine copy of Saint Jiub's Opus.
Page locations[]
The staircase that the Dragonborn descends to enter the Soul Cairn is located in the south-western end of the map. The prison holding Valerica is directly northeast of that staircase, and roughly halfway between the two is a large, fortified wall cutting across that path perpendicularly: NW to SE.
Jiub himself is located to the southeast of Valerica's prison, beyond the farmer and his two cows, on the southern side of a large building.
| Page | Location | Image |
|---|---|---|
| Page 1 | On the south-facing side of the fortified wall (the giant wall that separates the middle of this land), run along it heading east. There is a set of stairs adjoining the wall, at the top of which is a soul standing next to a window. Next to the window is the first Opus page. From this location, looking directly through the window you see a chest containing leveled loot. |  |
| Page 2 | To the north of Valerica's location will be a small building with a broken Word Wall and a chest. The page is in front of the chest. This small building is more-or-less adjoined to the prison where Valerica is held. This is where Durnehviir later sits. |  |
| Page 3 | Head back to the fortified wall that takes you back towards the Soul Cairn exit/entry, once you pass through the bottleneck take a right (west) straight away and follow the wall, not far from there will be a door way along the wall, go inside you should see a chest on your left inside, continue through and come out the other side. Straight ahead will be a structure with a crystal above it. Head up there and find the chest on top. The page will be on the floor right in front of the chest. |  |
| Page 4 | Starting from where Valerica was found, while facing said door, turn right to go east around the building to the back. Go up the first flight of stairs. You will see two high doorways. One with stairs (right side) and one without stairs (left side). Go up the stairs on the right. A chest sits on the left side and a pile of bones on the right at the end of the hallway. The page is in front of the chest on the floor. |  |
| Page 5 | Go to Jiub's campfire. Not far to the south there will be a square, stone-floored area with a purple-glowing well, and a wisp soul circling it. The page is on the floor by the well. There are also a couple of bonemen roaming the area. |  |
| Page 6 | Page 6 is nearby the stairs the Dragonborn descended on entering the Soul Cairn. Upon coming down them, look for the second building on the right (see Page 8) — the page is located in there next to a chest just inside the doorway on the right side. There is a Boneman waiting for you at the chest. This building is easiest to find by sticking to the path: it forks away to the right near the two souls sitting on the ruined walls. |  |
| Page 7 | After locating page 4, go down the east stairway to the ground. Follow the trail straight ahead until it comes to a "T." Looking slightly to the left, you will see a light circle with a few souls around it. While standing in the middle of the light circle, face northeast. Go till you pass a bunch of orcs sitting around a glowing crater and face East. You will see a ribcage, a soul fissure behind it, and then a stairway to go up. On top of the stairway, you will see a small shrine on a raised stone platform with the spell tome for Conjure Mistman. The page is on the floor in front of a lantern. Be prepared for a possible attack of a small group of Mistmen once you take the tome. |  |
| Page 8 | Like Page 6, this one is near to the staircase you descended on entering the Soul Cairn, only this time it's in the first building on the right instead of the second. This one involves shooting an arrow (or bolt) (or spell) at both of the glowing orbs next to the doorway — doing this should lower the bars to let you in. Sticking to the same path but heading back to the stairway will take you towards Page 6. |  |
| Page 9 | From Valerica's location, turn left and travel west until you reach a building with a crystal on top: there is a soul looking forlornly down at a skeleton, and another trapped in a cage beneath the crystal itself. When you get there, use this location as a viewpoint: look to the north, off to the left, and you should see another crystal atop a more extensive, fort-like building. This is where Page 9 is. Head there and enter via the steps, travel through the maze-like layout, and find the portal at the back right-hand end of the maze. Jump on the glowing portal which will teleport you onto the roof. The page will be on other side of the chest, beneath the health-draining crystal. To get through the mazing hallways (without looting chests) go up the steps and turn left at the end of the hall. Turn right at the first corridor and turn right again down the hall before the pit ahead and taking another right turn. Walk down that hall and turn left, right, and two more lefts. Proceed down the hall with the area rugs and turn right at the end of the hall, looking at the pink portal, not the large sack. Jump in it to teleport on top of the roof. |  |
| Page 10 | Stand in the gap of the fortified wall facing northeast, look to your right, you will see a blue light, head in that direction, there will be a ghost named Morven Stroud next to his broken carriage. The page is on top of a barrel to the left of the carriage. |  |

Bugs[]
This section contains bugs related to Impatience of a Saint. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
- Please reload an old save to confirm if the bug is still happening.
- If the bug is still occurring, please post the bug report with the appropriate system template 360/XB1, PS3/PS4, PC/MAC, NX/PS5, XS, depending on which platform(s) the bug has been encountered on.
- Be descriptive when listing the bug and fixes, but avoid having conversations in the description and/or using first-person anecdotes: such discussions belong on the appropriate forum board.
- 360XB1 Sometimes page 9 will disappear from the inventory completely.
- If page 9 is not appearing near the chest on the roof, use Unrelenting Force on the spot where it should be. Then go back down into the maze and use the map to locate where the chest is (if you zoom in enough, the details are easy to make out). Head through the maze to the spot underneath the chest. If the page is not on the floor in the area, check the ceiling in this spot. The page can appear stuck to the ceiling and can be shot down easily with a projectile weapon. Also using the Alteration spell Telekinesis, on the spot where the page should be, will make the page obtainable.
- If you kill the skeletons next to the chests immediately, then the remains will cover up notes 2 and 6, and you will not be able to collect them. You can, however, blow them away with Destruction spells or the Unrelenting Force shout.
- PC Rarely, page 10 may be clipping inside the barrel.
- PC (Fix) Using the console command
tclwill allow the player to clip through the barrel and get to the note. - PC (Fix) Using Unrelenting Force can force the note to become unstuck.
- PC (Fix) Using the console command
- PS3XB1 Sometimes page 10 may disappear or go invisible after accepting the quest. It is recommended to have a recent save as a precaution or collect all pages before accepting the quest.
- XB1 (Fix:) In order the invisible page can be picked up, an explosive effect on or around the barrel, e.g. Fireball, may reset the page's location on top of the barrel.
