Entering the Portal

How do you open the gate on the floor to enter the portal? — Unsigned comment by 130.156.22.254 (talk) at 18:13 on 1 October 2012‎

You can't open that gate. If you use the console on a PC to go through the gate, there is no portal below it, just non-functional graphics. --Alfwyn (talk) 20:15, 2 October 2012 (GMT)

What Is the Reaper?

Are there any proper clues to the Reaper's identity anywhere in the Soul Cairn? It just seems kind of significant that the reaper gem fragments are scattered about and this Keeper-like executioner is sealed away in a dedicated building. But I haven't been able to find anything about him; there's a book mentioning Bonemen, Mistmen and Wrathmen, but nothing else that I found at least. It seems significant that it drops a Daedra Heart, as if it's some kind of bound Daedra even though the Soul Cairn isn't ruled over by Daedric Princes like other Oblivion planes; could it be intended to eliminate anything living that strays inside? Could just be some kind of easter egg bonus fight and little else, as there isn't much reward from killing it, could just be a nod to the grim reaper? -- Haravikk (talk) 15:20, 21 November 2012 (GMT)

Honestly, I think it was something that was just thrown in to the Soul Cairn for the heck of it. I roamed the Soul Cairn for hours and found everything one could possibly find there (mind you, it was the least rewarding part of Skyrim I've ever played) but there was definitely no information about the Reaper. --BlackhawkXIII (talk) 02:49, 8 December 2012 (GMT)

Can't loot soul embers inside Reaper's Lair

I can loot the reaper (ghostly remains) but not the bonemen (soul embers). Anyone else has this problem? 50.0.25.231 23:42, 30 December 2012 (GMT)

I can verify that this bug occured in my game as well.--107.0.51.65 17:32, 8 January 2013 (GMT)

Confirmed here as well, on XBox 360. I'll add it to the Bugs section of the page. – Daric↝talk 05:38, 8 March 2013 (GMT)

stub?

Why is this marked as a stub? Seems pretty thorough to me...--107.0.51.65 17:33, 8 January 2013 (GMT)

There are things missing, such as any perks or spells that it has, and they'll all need verified. The largest portion of the text is concerned with how to summon it, rather than what it, is, does, and has, which is the wrong focus. Silence is Golden^{Break the Silence} 17:40, 8 January 2013 (GMT)

So why not look it up in the Creation Kit? 73.110.46.59 23:10, 18 April 2021 (UTC) Mode7Ghost

The Grim Reaper

I just wanted to know how to locate the Grim Reaper once you find the 3 gem fragments, that's all. — Unsigned comment by 71.201.95.41 (talk) at 13:56 on 19 July 2013

After getting the fragments, go to his building and enter it. Put the frags on the pedestal, and you find him. — Unsigned comment by 99.126.111.214 (talk) at 00:29 on 17 October 2013

Glitch the Summon

Both times I did this, I used the Unrelenting Force shout to summon him (the first time by accident, I actually had all the reaper gems).

Pretty limp quest, you don't even get anything remotely worth the effort. A daedra heart and 3 black soul gems? I could buy those at a vendor.

It's too bad the unofficial patch doesn't make his unique equipment usable.

"Daedric origin"

The article has the following;

"The Reaper carries a Daedra heart, thus implying it may be of Daedric origin."

In my game, killing him increased my "daedra killed" stats under the combat tab, so it seems that he/it is indeed of daedric origin.51.187.191.248 12:30, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
