The Ebony Warrior is a quest available after reaching level 80 with The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn installed.

Background

The Ebony Warrior is an experienced Redguard warrior who approaches the Dragonborn when they reach level 80 and explains how he has defeated all types of foes and enemies, and his last objective is to be sent to Sovngarde by a worthy adversary.

Walkthrough

Upon reaching level 80, the Ebony Warrior will usually seek out the Dragonborn at the first Hold entered. However, if that does not occur, possible locations for the Ebony Warrior on the holds are:

• Whiterun, by the Hold gates
• Riften, outside The Scorched Hammer, by the forge
• Markarth, outside The Warrens
• Windhelm, behind Candlehearth Hall
• Falkreath, by the Hold entrance
• Solitude, by the Hall of the Dead

He will then approach the Dragonborn and issue a challenge. He requests them to meet him at the Last Vigil, a campsite located high in the Velothi Mountains.

If the Dragonborn travels to Last Vigil and meets the Ebony Warrior, he will be standing there waiting to fight. Combat is initiated after making the first strike. The quest completes when the Ebony Warrior is killed.
