The Aelfred’s Jewel mystery can be found in the northwest of Wincestre, AC Valhalla.
To begin, you’ll need to speak with the man named Cedric, who can be found outside the jeweller’s house. He’ll tell you that the Jeweller hasn’t provided the precious jewel which Aelfred had commissioned, and to sod off unless you can get it.
How to Get Aelfred’s Jewel¶
To get the jewel, head to the southern side of the house and look for a window barricaded with weak wooden planks. You can break this with a melee or ranged weapon, then enter the house and speak to the Jeweller. He’ll tell you that he’s owed double the original asking price, and that Aelfred will get the jewel when he pays up.
Once the Jeweller has spoken, you’ll have three dialogue options:
“Here is the difference.” (230)¶
Eivor pays the Jeweller 230 silver in exchange for the Jewel. You can take it outside and speak with Cedric for the same dialogue options with him.
“Would you really cross a king?” (requires Charisma level 4)¶
This results in Eivor persuading the Jeweller to hand over the jewel for free. You can then take it outside and speak with Cedric for the same dialogue options.
“I think I will take it.”¶
As with the others, once you’ve taken the jewel by force you can speak with Cedric outside and go through the same dialogue options.
Aelfred’s Jewel: What to Say to Cedric¶
Once you have the jewel and speak with Cedric, you’ll have the option of keeping it for yourself or giving it to Cedric. If you keep it for yourself, you can sell it to a Trader for 61 silver. If you give it to Cedric, he’ll give you 40 silver.
It is not true, that if you give gem to the man you get nothing. You get 1200xp and he gives you a reward worth of 40 silver.
I just beat this quest and I got 1200 xp and +40 silver. I gave him the jewel and taking it with charisma
Hi,
Thanks for pointing this out! I've just checked the resources from our playthrough and we got nothing, but it may have been patched since. I've edited the detail since I can see the 40 silver reward has been replicated by other playthroughs.
