Walkthrough
Edit
The initiation quest begins in the Waterfront District of the Imperial City. They'll be competing in this quest with Methredhel and Amusei. They are requested to go to Amantius Allectus' home, and steal his diary. To find Amantius Allectus' home, simply ask a nearby beggar, or they can follow Methredhel, since she knows where it is. His home is in the Temple District. Travel to the southeastern section of the city and beat Methredhel there. Once they get inside, immediately look to the right and run for the desk; the diary is in it.
Some strategiesEdit
Getting the book before the competitors:
- Attack them as they cannot die, but it will slow them down
- Methredhel will get inside the house before them, once they get in it will take her a minute to get the book, move fast and they can easily beat her to it.
If Methredhel gets the book before the Hero, they have a couple of options:
- They can pickpocket it off of her or
- Go to her house and steal it from her (it will be in her chest near the door). She lives right next to where this quest started, in the Waterfront District.
Once they have the book, wait until midnight, and turn the diary in to Armand Christophe.
If failingEdit
If they still failed to get the book to Christophe, they are given a chance to redeem themselves and thus join the guild. Christophe asks them to steal Rohssan's Antique Cutlass. Rohssan is the merchant in charge of A Fighting Chance in the Imperial City Market District.
If they hit the shop at night, only two locks (on the front door and the chest containing the sword) and a guard dog keeps them from getting into the guild. Retrieve the sword, return to Christophe and they'll become a full member of the guild.
Journal entriesEdit

I spoke with Armand Christophe, who is a member of the Thieves Guild. He offered me a chance to join the guild, but I have to compete against two other thieves, Methredhel and Amusei. Which ever one of us steals Amantius Allectus' Diary first will be inducted into the Thieves Guild. It's somewhere in the Imperial City. He told me that the beggars might be able to tell me where to find him. |
A beggar told me that Amantius Allectus lives in the Temple district, on the far east side. |
I have beaten Methredhel and Amusei to Amantius Allectus' diary. Now to get back to Armand at Dareloth's garden by midnight. |
Methredhel has beaten me to Amantius Allectus' diary. If I can't get it from her somehow, she will get into the guild and I'll be left out in the cold. It's too bad the competition rules won't let me kill her. However, Armand didn't say anything about stealing from her! |
Methredhel has escaped. If I want that diary, I going to have to track her down. I wonder if the beggars can help me? |
I have stolen Amantius Allectus' diary from Methredhel. Now to get back to Armand at Dareloth's garden by midnight. |
Armand Christophe has granted me a membership in the Thieves Guild. Methredhel is irritated, but I think she'll get over it. Amusei is threatening to become a freelance thief. Armand has given me the rules of the guild:

The word on the street is that Methredhel delivered Amantius Allectus diary to Armand. I hope Armand has something else I can do to get into the Thieves Guild. I should go see him at midnight in the Garden of Dareloth. |
Methredhel delivered the diary to Armand before me. She has been accepted into the Thieves Guild. |
Armand is giving Amusei and I one more chance we have to steal Rohssan's sword from somewhere in the Imperial City and bring it back to him. The first one of us to do that will also be admitted into the Thieves Guild. |
I have Rohssan's Cutlass. Now to get back to Armand in the garden of Dareloth. I'll have to wait until midnight when he is there. |

TriviaEdit
- Use the cheat "player.additem 000355ED 1" (without quotes) to get the diary and give it to Armand to complete the quest and join the guild.
BugsEdit
- On the PC and Xbox and PS3 version there may be a bug in this quest. Methredhel gets to the diary almost immediately, and although the map indicates that the book is in her chest in her house, it does not appear in the chest when it is opened. It is not possible to pickpocket Methredhel for it since she is not carrying it. Even after 30 days Methredhel never takes the diary to Armand, and the secondary method of entering the Guild is never triggered. It is therefore impossible to join the Thieves Guild should this bug happen. Sleep a while outside her house. She will be asleep until noon and you can pickpocket her then.
