Joining the Thieves Guild
Before getting your hands on this armor, you have to join the Thieves Guild in Skyrim because the storyline of Thieves Guild will lead you to this armor.
To join the Thieves Guild, follow the steps instructed as under:
- Go to Riften.
- Head to the square-like marketplace.
- A red-haired guy named Brynjolf will approach you.
- He will ask you to steal Madesi’s (a lizard-looking guy) Silver Ring from under the stall.
- Once you have completed this task, head back to Brynjolf, and he will then ask you to join the Thieves Guild and find the hideout of the Thieves Guild known as Ragged Flagon.
Route to Ragged Flagon
In order to join the Thieves Guild, you have to find a bar-like place known as Ragged Flagon, where the members of the Thieves Guild hang out. Finding the route to this bar might be hard for some players but worry not, and we will be guiding you right into the doors of Ragged Flagon.
- Go to the ratway that is located under the bridge.
- After entering the ratway go straight and then take a right three times.
- Once you enter the hallway, which has a table with a barrel on top of it, you will see two paths.
- Take a left, and it will lead you to the door of Ragged Flagon.
