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. It will be necessary to fight through the tower. After killing Illia's mother, the body can be looted for a powerful staff, Staff of Hag's Wrath.
Follower
Illia can be recruited while at Darklight Tower. She is a destruction mage that focuses heavily on frost related spells. Specifically, she can cast frostbite, ice spike, ice storm, and icy spear.
Trivia
- Changing into a werewolf form during the quest won't provoke an attack from Illia, neither in the tower nor in the final battle. If the Dismay Shout is used, she will be affected, but won't retaliate.
- By trading with Illia as a follower, the Dragonborn can take a closet key that opens a key-only door in the Darklight Tower.
- After dismissing Illia, she can usually be found in Darklight Tower.
- 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.
- If Illia's key is stolen, she may put out a contract on the thief.
- Illia can be recruited into the Blades. But she will have no options to be asked to be a follower again. When talked to, she will only have a typical Blades greeting. Thus losing her as a follower.
- If you have Hearthfire, you can make her a steward for one of your homesteads.
Bugs
- PC 360 PS3 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. - PC 360 PS3 Also if a saved game is loaded and she is dismissed, these steps may have to be repeated.
- PC 360 PS3 After being recruited to the Blades the problem seems to resolve.
- 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.
- PC 360 PS3 If the player is trespassing, Illia will not open conversation, but will just repeat 'You're not supposed to be in here!'.
- Solution: Kill her create respawn her with console command outside of the building where you are or total different location: placeatme 0004b22e then IF she is not recruitable repeat the step above to have her again.
- PC 360 PS3 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).
- PC 360 PS3 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.
- PC 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.
- 360 If the Dragonborn has Serana as a follower, it may be also possible to recruit Illia as a follower, resulting in two humanoid followers instead of one.
