As you approach her for the first time, you may hear Soars-in-Laughter call out to you, ''"Hey! Hey you! Interested in some real Jester's Festival fun?" 

Talk to Soars-in-Laughter to see what she wants with you:


:What kind of mischief?
:"Pranks, of course! There's no better way to celebrate than playing harmless japes on others. I consider myself a master, but there is only one of me, and there are many people in need of a laugh.  I think you have what it takes. Interested?"
:Sure, I'll help you do some pranks.

Once you agree, you can ask her about the prank she wants you to pull for the day.


You can then pick up your prank kit and head off to commit said prank. After you have done the prank, you can return to Soars-in-Laughter and tell her how it went.
:"You have a satisfied air about you. The aura of a successful prankster! Tell me everything."

:"Excellent. Another successful prank. The Jester's Festival would be nothing without this kind of fun, I thank you for joining. I'll put together another prank kit for you tonight. Come back tomorrow, and I'll set you up with another!"

After you have completed the quest for the day, you can talk to her while she explains her methodology for pranking and reminisces about her favorites pranks.
:"Snake? No … frog! Sorry. I was just coming up with another prank idea. The perfect prank should be disruptive and shocking, but not terrifying, or damaging. Even better if it's tailored to the person. It's a delicate balance, you know."

:"Now, what to do for next time? How about replacing someone's paint bucket with milk? The city's cats would rush over to lick the side of a house! Hmm, maybe too expensive. And we wouldn't want the cats to get splinters."

:"I'm glad to have a prankster partner. You understand me, and the Jester's Festival, in a way most don't.  I'll have to think about what fun to set up for tomorrow. Hmm, maybe something with scrib jellies?"
:Do you have a favorite prank of all time?
:"Once, I fashioned a thin, nearly invisible film made from dried cow spit and chitin. I put the film over my friend's privy late at night, knowing that first thing in the morning, he would need to … relieve himself."
:Very clever.
:"It gets better. Or worse, depending on your perspective. Unknown to either of us, my friend's wife had eaten some bad fruit at a gathering earlier that evening.  Unfortunately for her, she had to urgently use the privy in the middle of the night."
:That is unfortunate.
:"Indeed. It went exactly how you imagine it. There was much screaming, cursing, and an extensive cleaning that night. Much, much later, we had a good laugh. When the prank pranks the prankster, that's when you know it's special."
:That makes sense.'''

Online:King Boar

King Boar, known as the Porcine Potentate and the tyrant King of Pork''', is the regal Bristleback who has been conjured to fight in the Festival Arena during the Jester's Festival. Under the decree of Jester King Emeric, the pig must be killed, as according to Rozette the Rapscallion's quickly improvised story he stole the swine Princess from Jester King Jorunn is hogging her all to himself.

The real motivation to fight the boar is because the conjurers summoned him as a gag for the festival to earn money from audience ticket sales and for you to win prizes for slaying him; as he is not real, no animals are being harmed. When he is defeated, he will explode into a puff of smoke and blue flames. Rozette will provide you with real cuts of meat once, despite saying the king is nothing more than an illusory phantom.

In the ring, there will be three baskets on the ground which the Arena Handlers will periodically fill with fermented apples and call out for King Boar to eat them.

Online:A Foe Most Porcine (quest)

Quick Walkthrough
#Find Rozette the Rapscallion in Stormhaven.
#Enter the Festival Arena and defeat King Boar.
#Talk to Rozette outside.

Detailed Walkthrough
Flyers entitled A Foe Most Porcine can be found on posts near near Jester's Festival tents in Auridon, Glenumbra, Stonefalls or at the Hammerdeath Arena. Upon reading it, you'll find it is both a proclamation and invitation from Jester King Emeric to fight with something called "King Boar" at the Hammerdeath Arena. Upon reading the flyer you will automatically start the quest and will receive a   in your inventory. You are to present this invitation to one Rozette the Rapscallion.

Travel to Stormhaven to find the Hammerdeath Arena, the closest wayshrine to this location is the Soulshriven Wayshrine and then follow the road north from there. Once at the arena look for Rozette, she is on a wooden platform overlooking the outdoor arena and dressed in a purple and gold jester outfit. Speaking with her, she will immediately smell the invitation and will tell you what you are here for. You are to fight the conjured King Boar, a massive Bristleback for a prize. You can complain about the lack of a compelling motivation if you wish.

After you agree to fight, you can go northwest from Rozette and enter the doors to the Festival Arena, an underground arena which was hired by the Jester Court for the event. Once inside, the King's Herald will announce his king, who wakes up and walks to the middle of the arena. There are a few mechanics in the fight. Firstly Prince Boars will periodically enter the arena to fight alongside the king, following an announcement by one of the Prince's Herald. Though weak, they can knock you around. Secondly, throughout the fight the Arena Handlers will fill a bucket full of Fermented Mudcrab Apples and call the King over to eat (the buckets glow bright red when they've been filled). If he manages to eat them, the boar will gain a buff. If you are also doing The King's Spoils for Jad'zirri, you can take the opportunity to grab the apples for her. Otherwise, taking the apples will just prevent King Boar from getting buffed up. 

Once King Boar is slain, you can leave the Festival Arena and return to Rozette:
:"Whew, even the swine stench is just like the real thing. You smell like you just had a bath in pig sweat. And guts. And—well you get the idea. I think the conjurers are having a laugh at your expense."
:Can I have my prize now?
:''"Oh, right. Joy unto Tamriel, the tyrant King of Pork now wallows with the dead, his haunches and hoard divided among the heroic and the hungry, his head hung on high as hallmark of his hubris! Here's your cut, and your cuts! They're real, I swear!"''
 
You will receive a Jester's Festival Box and some gold.
 
 
 
Quest Stages
Online:The King's Spoils

Quick Walkthrough
#Gain entry to the Festival Arena.
#During fight gather Fermented Mudcrab Apples.
#*Optional: Prolong the fight and gather more apples.
#Return to Jad'zirri.

Detailed Walkthrough
Jad'zirri is a cider brewer who can be found at the Hammerdeath Arena. Speaking with her, she'll offer to give you some of her special Mudcrab Apple Cider if you can get her some fresh ingredients. The thing is that the animal handlers from the Festival Arena have taken all the available fermented apples for King Boar to eat during his fights in the arena. So the only thing you can do is fight King Boar yourself and take his apples.

This quest can be done at the same time as A Foe Most Porcine, and so you may have already been signed up to fight by Rozette the Rapscallion. For efficiency it is recommended you do the quests together. Anyway if you agree to help, Jad'zirri will hand you a   which guarantees you entry to the arena. The entrance to the Festival Arena is the north, and once inside the King's Herald will announce his majesty and the fight can begin.

Within the ring will be three baskets and three Arena Handlers, periodically during the fight one of the handlers will go over to their basket and fill it with   and call King Boar over. The filled basket will glow with red light and you will have to reach the basket and take the apples before the boar does. So your specific goal is to fight until the some apples become available. 

However, with some apples in hand you now have choice. You can leave the arena immediately, continue to fight and slay King Boar, or prolong the fight some more. If you are doing the concurrent quest, the second option is your end goal. But by prolonging the fight, you have the option of gathering more fermented apples (Maxium Four) and Jad'zirri's reward will depend on how many apples you bring back. 

Once you have left the arena with the apples, you can bring them back to Jad'zirri. The number of apples you bring back will decide how much cider she will reward you with:
:''"Did you have any luck snatching some fermented mudcrab apples out of King Boar's mouth?"
:Yes. Here are all the apples I was able to collect.


In gratitude, Jad'zirri will hand you some gold, a   and 1-4 bottles of  .

Blades:The Trickster (quest)

Objectives
#Defeat the Trickster.

Walkthrough
Before you begin, ensure that you can deal cleaving or fire damage, or optimally both. Enemies within are immune to all other types of damage, so you will deliver the most damage by using a cleaving weapon enchanted with fire. The Golden Saints in this quest can deal Shock and Fire damage; the Dark Seducers Poison damage; and the Tricksters Shock damage.

You will start the quest in a small room, containing only the exit and food. Head forward through the corridor, in which you'll find food and perhaps a small breakable. When you follow the corridor rightwards, the Golden Saint in the next room may detect you and run around the wall, so be prepared for this encounter as you round the corner. If you reach the end of the corridor without this happening, the Golden Saint will be patrolling in the room. Head to the opposite corner of the room and press the button trigger in the pillar to open the first secret, forward and to the right of the entrance to the room, or ahead and slightly rightwards of the trigger.

Head forward and into the secret area. You will find food, and may find breakables inside. It opens into a small room in which you may encounter a random one of the optional bosses: a Dark Seducer, a Golden Saint, or the Real Trickster. It will also contain a Silver, Wooden, or Golden Chest. Once you've dispatched the boss and claimed the chest, exit and follow the corridors to the next room. As with the previous, this corridor will contain food and breakables of various sizes. It opens into a room patrolled by both a Dark Seducer and Golden Saint, and careless timing may result in both coming after you at once. Artful timing, conversely, may allow you to skip fighting one or both altogether. Another button trigger will be on the far side of the jutting wall on the opposite side of the room, opening a secret area to the right of the room's entrance.

The secret area's corridor may contain food, and it opens into a small room containing either of the Dark Seducer, Golden Saint, or Real Trickster optional bosses not encountered in the previous secret area, as well as a wooden golden chest not in the other areas. Once the boss has been dispatched, continue to the next corridor. It will contain food, breakables, and a patrolling Golden Saint. It opens into a room containing two patrolling Dark Seducers, either or both of whom can be avoided if timed well, and various breakables and food. A third secret area to the left of the entrance is opened by a button trigger on the wall to the right, and its corridor can contain breakables of various size as well as food. It opens into a relatively large room in which you will find the last of the three optional bosses and chests.

Finally, proceed through the long corridors until you reach the final room, in which stands the Trickster.

#Defeat the dremora warlock.

Walkthrough
Before you begin, ensure that you can deal either Bashing or Shock damage. You will face Thalmor, Necromancers, and a Dremora Warlock within; this means you should be prepared to take Shock, Frost, and Fire damage (respectively) in this event. Aside from their weaknesses to those damage types and immunity to other damage types, the enemies within will be entirely typical.

Beginning the quest, you will find yourself in an Imperial fortress, complete and replete with banners. Follow the corridors, in which you may find food and small breakables, forward, then left, and then right. You will enter a room patrolled by a single Thalmor. The room may likewise contain food items, as well as breakable objects of varying size. Follow the corridor, in which you may find more food items to the right, and then turn left.

When you reach the end of the corridor, you will see a weapon rack trigger immediately opposite you. It opens the wall on the right side of the room, unlocking a secret area. In the main room, you will find breakables of varying size, food, and two patrolling Thalmor. If you are artless, you will have to face them both in succession, though the room is large enough that you should be able to evade the second after facing the first. Conversely, an artful player may be able to avoid both entirely—though the lack of visibility around the corner can be a hindrance thus. The room may also be littered with food and breakable objects.

The secret area consists of a relatively long corridor, in which may be more food and breakables. You must proceed until you see barred doors, at which point you must turn right to see a   guarded by a Necromancer boss.

Continue ahead to the next corridor, which contains food and breakables of potentially larger sizes and is patrolled by a Thalmor. Proceed rightwards around the corner, and then leftwards to a room patrolled by two Necromancers. Be wary at this point, as the Necromancers may run around the corners to attack you by surprise, and if you are unfortunate you will be forced to face both in quick succession. Otherwise, you may well be able to avoid them both, at the risk of forgoing the food and breakables of up to moderate size in the room. Proceed to the corridor forward and right of where you entered, and follow it until you reach stairs. While it may contain food and small breakables, it is also patrolled by a Necromancer, whom it is not possible to avoid facing.

Head down the stairs and follow the corridor around leftwards. Be wary of the Thalmor and Necromancer who patrol the landing; you will face both in quick succession if you are careless and unfortunate. You may also, however, be able to bypass them both and continue down the next set of stairs to the final boss: a Dremora Warlock. Even if you are unable to entirely evade them, you will still be able to reach the boss to fight it first.
