So I was struggling with the last part of getting the Gauldur amulet, defeating the three brothers after putting the fragments on the pedestals, so i looked up some information on the quest and found out most people do it at a much higher level (usually around 32). But i was too stubborn to walk away from the quest. So several attempts I beat all 3 brothers with my necromancer khajiit that specializes in unarmed stealth mele.

It was my first time trying to get the amulet, and i think it was probably the most challenging boss battle i've done so far. the first and last brother were extremely difficult for my character

So what's the lowest level character you've beat this quest with?

Level 2 on master

I start this quest during the mage guild quest line, though by talking to Narfi in Ivarstead then the Inn Keeper will give you the location of one of the three brothers which you can explore to start the quest as well.

Usually level 30 or more since I methodically complete every quest in each city, starting in Whiterun, working my way to Falkreath then Morthal then Markath then Dawnstar then finally Winterhold. I avoid Solitude, Riften, and Windhelm until later in the game because of the Civil War, Thieves Guild, and Dark Brotherhood questlines respectively.

Ten on Novice When depends on the individual character, most get the Amulet between 25 and 30.

My Bound Sword Dual Wielders have an easier time than many characters and can get the Amulet in the teens.

That is a great achievement, that quest has four bossfights. At level 19 you're only just out of Helgen, not an easy feat to manage, grats.

I have only done the quest once myself, the first time I played the game. I was a low level as well, but not 19 for the final fight, more like 30.

I haven't repeated it because the reward is crap, especially for such effort.

Man, I don't even remember anymore. I avoid it now since it requires me to do the College. Most of my characters are warriors.

With the Ritual Stone, I think this could easily be done, and Why did I not try it

I had one chraracter playthrough that did not level passed level 9 on master difficulty. Its tough, very tough, especially when traveling in Solstheim, but man was it fun.

Skyrim as a game level players up wayyyyyyyyyyy tooooo fast, I find that if you moderate the leveling so its very slow makes the game far more exciting, challenging and enjoyable. but hey thats just me I suppose

And an essential follower.

I used to do that quest regularly but when I switched to Master difficulty, things changed. I can't remember the exact level the final time my PC finished it, low 20s maybe, but it was clear that she had no business trying that last fight. They were fus ro dahing her all over the place while turning her into a pin-cushion with arrows. The only reasons I didn't revert to an earlier save and bail on the quest was a glitch in that final room. Totally felt like a cheat so haven't been back since. I do agree that the reward is too low for the amount of work involved.

Agreed. You would think for the effort put forth the reward would be much better, also considering the length of the overall quest.

I think my lowest was level 8 on Adept. (I never change the diffculty so everything I do is on Adept.) I had used Alt Start - LAL to start at Winterhold, so I did Saarthal at level 1, and decided to do the quest after getting the first amulet. I had help, though. I stopped in Solitude and hired Belrand. He's not the strongest follower, but he makes a good distraction, which I find helpful in this quest. And I make no claims to being an effective mage throughout this - I think my sneak leveled higher than any of my magic skills during the quest.

Thanks, i got really lucky with some chest loots though (especially the hidden on when doing the pale lady). at level 19 my character has

helmet: dwarven helmet of major magic

chest: steel plated armor (with magic regeneration and conjuration)

gloves: steel plated gloves (unarmed +6)

feet: steel (kinda svcks)

ring: ring of conjuration

(no necklace durring this last boss fight since i was wearing one of the fragments)

Since my character was an evil RP, he was originally ticked off when he needed a key to get in, but while traveling through winterhold he heard that the college was conducting experiments. He went in hoping that the "experiments" had to do with the saarthal ruins (seeing as it was located so close). pleased to find out that this was the first place they were going, he used the college to gain access to the ruins. upon gaining the amulet fragment i attacked tolfdir untill he fell to his knees and pretended that was me killing him(beeing a necessary character, I wasnt actually able to kill him).

-What was strange was when I attacked Tolfdir i received a bounty and notice that the college didnt like me any more (to beexpected), but upon him falling to his knees when his health hit 0, it said "all witness kiled" my bounty was subtracted, and the quest to rejoin the college was taken away (as to say they like me again).

my necromancer has the ritual stone. at first, i killed all the draugr and used the ritual stone, but it was a waist agains the first brother, he killed them all and regenerated his health all the way while doing so. so when i died and tried again, i killed all the draugr again, but saved it until the final brother. this was extremely helpful, but the stone would have been useless against the other brothers, infact i dont think i wouldve been able to beat the final brother if even one undead had died to a prior brother.

and i think the amulet is great, well worth it. +30 to all stats is great, seeing as most necklaces i tend to use only give a max of around +30 to just one .
