The Ultimate Feast

Quick Walkthrough

1. Speak to Viriya and read the note.
2. Obtain Steamed Mudcrab Legs, Cooked Arctic Char, and Crab Stew.
3. Set the table in The Winking Skeever in Solitude.
4. Wait an hour and collect your tip.

Detailed Walkthrough

This quest can be started after Spirits Away has been completed by talking to Viriya:

Know of anyone in need of fishing work around Skyrim?

"You're headed to the capital. It's all in this note."

She then hands you a note that requests Steamed Mudcrab Legs, Cooked Arctic Char and a bowl of Crab Stew. This will likely involve cooking.

You should have access to plenty of Crab Meat and Mudcrab Legs after completing the previous quest, and the other ingredients needed for the stew are not hard to acquire. Butter can be a little trickier to find, although you can simply make your own at a churn if you've constructed a kitchen. If you don't wish to go fishing for an Arctic Char, you can go diving at Hela's Folly instead and catch one with your hands.

Once you have obtained all three dishes, head to The Winking Skeever and set the upstairs table for Gisli. She will sit down to eat, which will take her an hour. Once she's finished, she'll leave a note and a coin purse on the plate.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage ccBGSSSE001_Misc_Solitude stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest ccBGSSSE001_Misc_Solitude.
