Daedric ShrinesBy Stephanie Lee, Hector Madrigal, Brendan Graeber, +162.5k moreUpdated: Feb 3, 2017 7:25pm UTC

This page notes the locations of any and all Daedric Shrines hidden in the land of Skyrim.

Daedric Quests

There are a total of 15 Daedric quests, however some Daedric Princes will not give you their quests via a shrine. These quests can, instead, be found at specific places throughout Skyrim.

Nocturnal does not give any quest, but, rather, she appears in the Thieves Guild questline.

Each Daedric quest rewards you with an Artifact.

Shrine of Azura

This shrine is devoted to the following of the Azura. One priestess remains at the Shrine, Aranea Ienith. It is located South of Winterhold. Visiting the shrine begins the quest The Black Star.

Sacellum of Boethiah

Located east of Windhelm To get here, take a carriage to Windhelm and facing away from Windhelm, follow the road East past Hollyfrost Farm. You will eventually reach a bandit hideout. The game will not allow you to continue on the road anymore (invisible wall). However, the road will split and go up the mountain. This trail will go up and west, running parallel to the road you were just on. Upon visiting the shrine, the quest, Boethiah's Calling, will begin.

Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon

Southwest of Dawnstar, on a mountain. This location is best found when completing the quest Pieces of the Past

Shrine of Nocturnal

This location will be visited when completing a quest from Karliah in the The Ragged Flagon, the Theives Guild Headquarters found within Riften's Ratway, called Darkness Returns.

Shrine to Peryite

This shrine is located in The Reach, far to the northeast of Markarth. Visiting the shrine begins the quest The Only Cure.

Statue to Meridia

This shrine is located in the mountains due west of Solitude. Visiting the shrine begins the quest The Break Of Dawn.

Shrine of Clavicus Vile

This shrine is located inside Haemar's Shame. This shrine can be visited to start the quest A Daedra's Best Friend or will be found after locating Barbas after visiting Falkreath

Shrine of Malacath

A defiled shrine is located in Giant's Grove. Visiting this shrine is not possible until the quest The Cursed Tribe has begun.
