The Giant Spider Hunt is a Fighters Guild quest available during the events of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. The Agent is sent into a local residence to kill a giant spider.
Background
After escaping from Privateer's Hold, and visited Lady Brisienna, the Agent will need to look for ways of boosting their reputation. Once such method will be to join the Fighters Guild, although membership will be denied until the Agent proves their ability and their mettle.
Objectives
- Speak with a Questgiver from the Fighters Guild.
- Find and enter the specified residence.
- Kill the giant spider within.
- Return to Questgiver before the time limit expires to complete the quest.
Walkthrough
When attempting to join the Fighters Guild, the Agent will be informed by a Questgiver of a local resident's misfortune in taking a silkworm cocoon into their home, only to find that a giant spider emerged from the pod. Furthermore, they cannot afford to pay the Fighters Guild to deal with the issue, so the Guild are unwilling to act. However, the Questgiver states that the Agent can earn the Guild's favour by killing the spider for free, so that "the guild looks good".
A Simple Mistake
The Questgiver will tell the Agent the name of the building that the spider is in, but is unable to give an exact location. Fortunately the Agent can obtain that information from the local population, although if the town is small a random search could also reveal the residence. Regardless, the Agent must enter the building and slay the spider, which can be found lurking somewhere within.
Once the spider lies dead, confirmed by a notification, the Agent must return to the Questgiver before the time limit expires to complete the quest.
Rewards
The Agent will not receive a monetary reward for their efforts, although they will receive a boost to their reputation within the Guild. Likewise, failing the quest will not only see the Agent forefit a reward, but also have their standing with the Guild harmed:
