Goblin Demonstration is a repeatable quest in The Elder Scrolls Online wherein the Vestige must assist in training members of the Elsweyr Defense Force by demonstrating how to kill goblins.
Background[]
Zahari asked me to help train new recruits for the Khajiit Defense Legion to fight enemies they may not have encountered in training.
Objectives[]
- Talk to Captain Shideya
- Kill Goblins with Recruit (x9)
- Talk to Zahari
Walkthrough[]
After completing the Elsweyr prologue quest "The Halls of Colossus," you can speak to Zahari at the gate leading to Northern Elsweyr north of Courmount. She will only give one out of a number of possible quests, one of which is to help train recruits to fight against goblins.
How can I help? "Our new recruits are eager for blood, but have seen little of the battlefield. They need the aid of an experienced warrior if ever they are to become true soldiers. A warrior such as yourself, yes?"
- What type of training did you have in mind? "Allow our recruits to observe your techniques. Through such an observation, Zahari believes that much can be learned. Meet Captain Shideya at the Stonechewer Camp in Stormhaven, and show our soldiers how to fight against goblins."
- All right, I'll help train your recruits. "Be sure to protect the recruits you are tasked to instruct. Your lessons will mean little if our soldiers are harmed in the process."

Stonechewer Goblin Camp.
After speaking with Zahari, you will need to proceed to the Stonechewer Goblin Camp located in Stormhaven northwest from Wayrest. When you arrive, you will need to speak with Captain Shideya who will provide a Khajiiti Recruit as a follower, and with them in tow, you will then need to kill nine goblins in the camp.
"Welcome, walker. You have come to show our warriors how to fight, yes?"
- I'm ready to demonstrate my fighting skills. "This one has a recruit who will benefit most greatly from seeing you in action. Fight well and be careful."
After killing nine goblins, the Recruit will leave, and you can immediately return to Zahari in Grahtwood to finish the quest. Zahari will thank you for your service and provide a reward.
"So you've returned. Has your assignment been completed?"
- I showed your recruits a thing or two. "Hopefully, such a lesson has taught our recruits much. Their hearts may be brave, but it is their skill that will decide our battles against the Dragons. Zahari is most grateful for your aid, warrior."
Reward[]
- Northern Elsweyr Defense Force Cache
- 73–302
- 508–7,485

Trivia[]
- The Khajiiti Recruit will leave the Vestige's service if they leave the Stonechewer Goblin Camp area, and will return when the area is revisited.
- Other goblins in Stormhaven beyond the Stonechewer Goblin Camp will not count towards the objective to kill goblins.
