I am Patriarch of the Temple

[Pikeman85]

I came up to the Milo quest in the Main quest, and seeing as I was already a Disciple of the Temple, I decided to do the rest of the Temple quests and get to be Patriarch. Well I did it (and luckily got the Ebony Mail... best medium armor, and that's my guy's main armor skill :D) and I've tried to go into the Ministry of Truth. I heard if you were the Patriarch, they'd talk to you and tell you where Milo was being held and not overly care. Now, they just ignore me at first, which is different from what I've heard they usually do, however I don't want to be caught picking locks or having them yell at me and attacking me :P

 

I can kill them easy... I'm level 32 or 33 and I've completed both Tribunal and Bloodmoon already, so I'm a pretty strong character, with some nice stuff (although I still haven't learned how to enchant, nor really needed it) and I can kill the Ordinators in two hits or so, but I want to avoid this, as the woman at the front when you go in tells me that it wouldn't be good to kill anyone.

 

 

So was I wrong, is there no way, as patriarch of the temple, to make them love me? (You'd think they'd let me do whatever I wanted, I mean, I am after all their leader)

Let me put it this way, I was head of everythig but the fighters guild & head of house telvanni and the ordinators still hated me. as for Milos quest just make sure you read the note in her room and have the divine intervention scrolls then talk to the guard outside of the ministy of truth and she should give you a key, if you dont want to be seen by the ordinators inside I would recomend getting the Amulet of Shadows, or a Chameleon spell of at least 75%

 

Edit: this should probably be in spoilers too btw since it deals with the Milo quest.

Well actually if you're head of the Tribunal Temple, then the ordinators won't attack you until you reach the cavern that contains the cells. This is assuming that you haven't been seen picking locks or stealing on the way. This is if you don't talk to anyone inside the Ministry on the way.

[Marxist ßastard]

Well, as I've hinted at before, this quest is not as shallow as it seems -- there is an alternative solution for those who aren't adept at sneaking and have problems with smacking Ordinators.

 

Grab a set of Indoril Pauldrons, along with a Cuirass and Helm, and talk to the Grand Inquisitor. The shortest route to his location is by taking the entrance into the prison closest to Saram and going through the door on your right. As long as you're not a Khajiit or Argonian, you can talk to him about "Proper Authorization" and he'll not only give you his sector key, but will also tell the guards of your sad tale, alert you to the location of the cell key, and show an ounce of regret for his previous remarks.

After trying - and failing - repeatedly to fight my way past all the ordinators I found yet another alternative to completing this quest.

 

Given that ordinators were hissing and growling at me anytime I walked past I didn't think that asking them nicely was an option....

 

Luckily I had a scroll of Windward in my possession....500pts levitate + invisibility.

 

By the time the ordinators noticed that anything was wrong I had already picked the lock to the cell....

 

 

Moving this to spoilers.

I just unlocked a side door and let myself in, sneaking all the way. I was a bard and fairly high level, but I don't think I had sneak all the way up yet. If I passed too close to an Ordinator, they hissed at me, but no one attacked me until I got to the prison chamber.

My approach (after getting gaurd to let me in) was to sneak around till I got spotted (fairly quickly) and then run (I had 100 speed and 100 athletics) picking locks as I went, and then did a huge leap when I got in to the cavern with the cells. Leapt clean over the gaurds, who where running towards me, and then therefore had a clear path to the cell with Milo in. Job done, took no hits
