Skyrim talk:Briarheart Necropsy

Can wasting too much time break this quest?

There is an hour countdown next to Neloth's memory spell in the active effects menu. If I remember correctly, the countdown was in the area of 2700 in game hours. I wonder, if anything adverse happens should this number reach zero. I tried to waste a lot of time between briarhearts to see what would happen, but i could only put off getting Dibellas blessing for so long. Romandoug (talk) 06:16, 28 December 2012 (GMT)

It is actually set for 999 real-life days, so you'd have to play for a LONG time for the spell to expire. There are other magical effects that last this long (the maximum possible duration), and if there isn't a script that explicitly resets it, it will expire just like any other magical effect. • JA^T 06:29, 28 December 2012 (GMT)

Briar heart quest iten

After killing Briarheart I take his briar heart. After completting quest it is stuck in my inventory as quest item. How can I get rid of it? Cheat to drop briar heart (0003ad61) doesn´t work. — Unsigned comment by 78.99.196.26 (talk) at 14:50 on 7 April 2013

Repairing the Phial quest marks it as a quest item. The two listed workarounds on that page are to complete the quest, or to get arrested and then leave it in the evidence chest. Silence is Golden^{Break the Silence} 15:04, 7 April 2013 (GMT)

Steal the Heart

Is it worth noting that killing the Forsworn Briarheart by stealing its heart will not allow the "Harvest" option to display when trying to loot the body? Scaled157 (talk) 15:29, 19 July 2013 (GMT)

Yes. I just spent nearly an hour finding these just to find that pickpocketing the heart doesn't let you finish the quest... CookiesRiot (talk) 07:42, 10 August 2013 (GMT)

I've added a note to the article. — ABCface^◥ 14:09, 10 August 2013 (GMT)

Also, disintegrated(via Shock spells at least) Briarhearts can't be harvested. --Jyzzy (talk) 15:29, 19 September 2013 (GMT)

Ash Spawn attack

The walk through should mention that 3 Ash Spawn will attack you as you approach Neloth's tower at Tel Mithryn upon your return with the Briar Heart sample. Evil-i (talk) 21:36, 25 April 2015 (GMT)
