Started automatically after A Path Of Bones is complete, in the final quest of the Darkened Steel questline, The Face Of The Ghost, the hour of reckoning is at hand, and the final confrontation between the Player and Deneris will ensue. The only question is: which one will triumph?

The quest itself is fairly straightforward- the Dragonborn must first travel to Shadow’s Gulch, a Nordic ruins style dungeon located just north of Snow Veil Sanctum, and east of Journeyman’s Nook.

Entering the dungeon, one will find some Darksteel Agents engaged in battle with the Blades of Deneris (they usually don’t last long, so don’t expect any help from them). Progress through the dungeon, slaughtering any of Deneris’ Blades you come across, and make your way to Shadow’s End, the second and final part of the dungeon, where Deneris himself awaits.

Once the Player enters the final chamber they will be treated to epic music, as well as a speech by Deneris himself. After that, the fight will begin, pitting Deneris and two of his blades against the might of the Dovahkiin. Just remember that in order to kill Deneris, you must dispel his immortality by hitting him with the Trinity Blade you received earlier (apparently, even in its weakened state, it’s still enough to do its job and make Deneris killable). For those who aren’t the best with a greatsword, take note that he only has to be hit once with the blade- then you wail on him with whatever you so choose.

After the fight, the Aspects of Azura, Mephala, and Boethiah -who have been guiding the Player throughout the questline- will appear. Talk to the Aspect of Azura (the one in the middle) to receive an upgraded Trinity Blade, one with its full power unlocked. At this point, both the quest and the questline will come to an end.
