Quest
Illia will ask for help in defeating her mother, Silvia, who has been corrupted by the other Hags. The quest Repentance will be started if the Dragonborn agrees to help her.

Trivia
- Changing into a werewolf form during the quest, Illia won't attack the Dragonborn, neither in the tower nor in the final battle. When using the Fear cry, she will be affected, but won't retaliate. She can also start a conversation with the Dragonborn, but the opposite is not possible.
- With Illia as a companion and trade with her, the Dragonborn can take a closet key which opens a key-only door in the Darklight Tower.
- After dismissing Illia, she can usually be found in Darklight Tower. This currently requires killing or pickpocketing her on the 360 and PS3.
- If given armor and a helmet then taking away the armor she will walk around in her underwear.
- Players may experience problems when trying to have Illia equip new items, due to AI requiring armor of higher rating. Using the console on the PC version, she can be forced to wear armor for the duration of her time as a follower.
Bugs
- PS3 360 PC Currently, there is a bug in which Illia is no longer recruitable after she is sent home. When she is talked to, she will respond with generic dialogue, (much like a guard), and the Dragonborn will be unable to choose any speech options.
- PC Solution: Open the console and type:
prid 0004b22efollowed bysetrelationshiprank player 4. Use her reference ID or click her while in the console beforehand. - Also if a saved game is loaded and she is dismissed, these steps may have to be repeated.
- After being recruited to the Blades the problem seems to solve.
- PC Solution: Open the console and type:
- 360 If Illia is a follower, her clothing becomes invisible. She still seems to be protected by the attributes of her armor, but it occasionally disappears. This appears to have happened after the Dec 1 patch.
- PS3 360 PC Illia can be inducted into the Blades. However, although she has normal dialogue of a Blade, she behaves like a generic character with no option to start conversation with her or make her follow, (as with when she has been dismissed).
- PS3 360 PC After a few times of feeding on her after telling her to sleep as a vampire, she leaves her service as a follower upon another attempt.
- PS3 360 PC Despite equipping a full set of Fortify Destruction gear reducing Destruction spell costs to 0, she still somehow runs out of Magicka and begins using her default bow during fights; while other followers who run out of Magicka wearing the same set of Fortify Destruction gear are still able to cast destruction spells.
- 360 Her inventory is known to reset.
- 360 She may not be located in the darklight tower after she is dismissed. she may be found wandering around.
