Dave, The Quiet One.
PART 1
Now this quest is not your usual quest where everything flows smoothly. Nor do you need to use a weapon.
I did 2 bounty jobs for the Steward of Windhelm & then left Windhelm for 12 hours ( Real Time ) & did other quests or side quests elsewhere in Skyrim.
Now I have returned to Windhelm & low and behold there is a dead woman amongst the gravestones with a Stormcloak guard and a few people standing around.
The first thing I did at this point was do a **** MANUAL SAVE *******
So if you happen to choose the wrong speech line or things go south fast ( Stuff Up ) you have a save point to restart the quest.
Right talk to the guard and follow the speech prompts, your aim here is to help so choose the correct speech option.
He will tell you to ask the other 3 people there if they saw anything talk to all 3 then talk to the guard again.
Tell the guard that you want to help investigate the crime & he will tell you that you need to speak to Jorleif, the Jarl's Steward.
**** Do another Manual save at this point *********
Go to the Palace of Kings & talk to Jorleif, he will welcome your assistance on the case.
Now, go back out to the crime scene and talk to the guard & he will tell you to talk to Helgrid.
So go to the Hall Of The Dead and talk to Helgrid, which is a real short conversation...lol. After speaking with her go back out to the crime scene and follow the trail of blood back to Hjerim ( The house that you will be able to buy soon ). Now, there isn't trail of blood leading there but if you walk towards the house you will see blood splashed on the path or steps at intervals.
Now your quest will update & tell you to get access to Hjerim so go and talk to Jorleif and he will tell you that Tova Shatter Shield has the key so go talk to her. Now if it's during the day then there is a very good chance she is near the merchants in front of The White Phial.
If you choose the right speech line and tell her you are investigating the crime and then select the next speech line telling her you need access to Hjerim, she will then give you the key.
*** If you have reached this point of the quest then **** Do another Manual save *********
Go to Hjerim, enter and look for clues, investigate the blood splattered chest that is across the room. Open the chest and take the contents which are 11 Notes titled " Beware The Butcher " and a Journal titled " Butcher Journal ". Keep searching, if you walk straight down the room from the chest to the other end & investigate the wardrobe that is in front of you as well as the table in the small alcove.
Search this table, there is some pamphlets on the right hand shelf, take these and you will then see an Amulet, which you take. Thanks to Gemini Sierra for pointing this out
Then look at the wardrobe on your right, open it then open the false back panel & walk into the room beyond.
Here you find an Altar with parts of skeletons on it as well as on the floor. There is another journal on the Altar titled " Butcher Journal # 2 ", take it and go report your findings to Jorleif.
*** If you have reached this point of the quest then **** Do another Manual save *********
YYou talk to Jorleif about the butcher & he will ask if you been talking to Viola Giordana. You can mention the Amulet and he will tell you to take it to Calixto's House of Curiosities.
Go find Viola Giordana, just look for a white haired woman with a white arrow pointing down above head.
She is usually walking in the area between The Palace of the Kings and the Front Gate of Windhelm.
Talk to her & follow the prompts so you tell her you found a journal on Hjerim. Now go back to Jorleif ( Again..lol ) & report this new finding to him. After the short speech options & if you chose the correct options Blood On The Ice is completed.
But you can't initiate any conversation with Jorleif as he walks away to go arrest the Court Wizard. Well be damned if I'm missing that so follow him. All you need to do is watch nothing else.
