  • How to unlock One with the Shadows

    This achievement requires you to complete several side quests for Delvin and/or Vex in order to bolster the reputation of the Guild. First and foremost, it's worth noting that you can begin taking side quests from these two characters as soon as you join the ranks. You can have one quest from each concurrently active. Their quests are small thief-life tasks, such as burglarizing a house, forging ledger accounts, or planting stolen items.

    You will need to complete five jobs/tasks in each of the following cities: Markarth, Solitude, Whiterun, and Windhelm. The jobs/tasks are completely randomized, without regard to the number of jobs you've already taken in a particular hold. If you need to, you can accept and quit jobs at will. It's highly recommended to quit jobs until they match up in location (i.e. both Delvin and Vex send you to Whiterun). After completing the fifth job for a city, Delvin will then present a unique "reputation" quest. Complete these four unique quests - "Silver Lining" in Markarth; "The Dainty Sload" in Solitude; "Imitation Amnesty" in Whiterun; "Summerset Shadows" in Windhelm; - and the Thieves Guild will begin to gain a respectable reputation around the region.

    Once all four reputation quests have been completed, return to Brynjolf as directed under the "Under New Management" side quest. A ceremony will ensue; speak with Brynjolf again afterwards and then visit Tonilia in order to retrieve your Guild Master's Armor set. With the armor set in had, the quest will conclude and the achievement will unlock.

  • It's a very annoying to grind achievement. Just keep doing the numbers jobs and the burglary jobs as they're the quickest to do. After 5 quests in each city, You are given a special job to do. You have to complete the 5 special jobs to get the achievement.
