Walkthrough[]
In the Lion's Den, the Vestige may encounter a woman named Brea Snowrider. She will tell you that the den holds a forward base of the Lion Guard, an order of knights from the Daggerfall Covenant. Her scouts have all been captured, so she will ask you to create a diversion while she calls for reinforcements. To create a diversion, she asks you to find and kill Commander Derre, Menoit and Senior Scout Justal. These can be killed in any order.
Head along the path and fight your way through several waves of enemies, and you will eventually make your way to Commander Derre's tent. Kill him, then head on along the path. When the path splits, head down the middle road; that is where you will find a memo from Menoit. He is hunting a bear in the caves to the north. Kill him, then head further. Your last target is Senior Scout Justal. Continue heading down the path. Eventually, you will pass through a wooden gate. After this gate, the road will split again; pick the path to your left. there, you will find a note saying Justal is out falconing east of the camp. Head along the path east out of the camp. You will encounter a man here named Thragof. Talking to him will start the quest "Prisoner Dilemma," which takes place in the Lion's Den too so it can be efficient to do both simultaneously. Either way, when the path splits again, go left again. You will find Justal's falcom here. When you interact with it, Justal himself will appear and attack you.
Once all three are dead, head back to Brea at the den's entrance to finish the quest.
