Talk:Hircine's Shrine

Alternative Method for Killing the Unicorn and Completing the Hircine Quest
Rather than mounting the unicorn and performing repeated jumps off cliffs in which you can suffer damage, another option which works well is to ride the unicorn to a large body of water, eg Niben or Topal Bays, and simply enter the water. At this point, the unicorn will swim and you should ride a significant distance from the shore. You can use a waterwalking potion or enchanted item which gives your the waterwalking power. When you dismount, the unicorn will turn and swim for shore. Following the unicorn as it paddles and swiping at it repeatedly with an enchanted or silver weapon, you can accomplish the kill without suffering any health damage.
