Skeleton 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 skeletons.
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 Skeletons 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 skeletons.
How can I help? "Though our new recruits are eager, they have had little practice in combat. As a warrior of experience, Zahari requests your aid in training our soldiers."
- What type of training did you have in mind? "Allow our recruits to observe you in combat. Zahari has found that such demonstrations are far more effective than mere speeches. Meet Captain Shideya at Cath Bedraud in Glenumbra, and teach our soldiers how to fight skeletons."
- All right, I'll help train your recruits. "Be sure to protect the recruits you are asked to instruct. Your lessons will mean little if our soldiers are harmed in the process."

Cath Bedraud.
After speaking with Zahari, you will need to proceed to Cath Bedraud located in Glenumbra northeast from Camlorn. 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 skeletons in the cemetery.
"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 skeletons, 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 new recruits a thing or two? "Zahari hopes they take such a lesson to heart. Our needs are great and the time to train is frighteningly little to premare against this Dragon invasion. Thank you for your help on this matter."
Reward[]
- Northern Elsweyr Defense Force Cache
- 73–302
- 508–7,485

I must travel to Cath Bedraud in Glenumbra in order to help train Northern Elsweyr Defense Force recruits to defeat skeletons. I must talk to Captain Shideya. She will pair me with a fledgling Khajiit warrior who will observe how I deal with powerful monsters.

I showed a Northern Elsweyr Defense Force recruit how to defeat skeletons. I should return to Zahari and see what else she needs.

Trivia[]
- The Khajiiti Recruit will leave the Vestige's service if they leave the Cath Bedraud area, and will return when the area is revisited.
- Other skeletons in Glenumbra beyond Cath Bedraud will not count towards the objective to kill skeletons.
