The Dark Brotherhood is one of the most popular quest lines in "Skyrim: Special Edition." Here how w to be a part of the Dark Brotherhood Assassin's Guild.

The Dark Brotherhood in "Skyrim: Special Edition" is a secret society of assassins who really do their best to avoid being easily found or detected. This makes it more difficult for you to join them. However, there are proven ways to get the Dark Brotherhood's attention and impress them just enough to recruit you rather than kill you.

How to Join The Dark Brotherhood

Visit any inn in "Skyrim: Special Edition" and ask for gossip from the innkeeper. The innkeeper will eventually give information that will point you towards a boy in Windheld (Aventus Aretino), says Attack of the Fanboy. He is the one who is trying to perform the Black Sacrament -- a Dark Brotherhood ritual.

Do not go there yet. Instead head to the Honorhall Orphanage in Riften. In there, the children will talk about Aventus' attempts to summon the Dark Brotherhood. One of these things will give you an objective to go find the boy.

Finding Aventus In "Skyrim: Special Edition"

To find Aventus, go to his parents' home in Wildhelm. Once spotted, talk to him about his dark tendencies. This will yield the Innocence Lost quest of "Skyrim: Special Edition."

The quest will now take you to the orphanage in Rifte, which you might have delivered earlier. In there, you will have to commit murder. You will not get a bounty, however, for this particular kill. Twenty-four hours after completing the quest, a courier will appear when you are inside a city and will offer an ominous note saying, "We know."

When you receive this note, go and sleep for a while in any bed. Even if you are the all-powerful Dragonborn in "Skyrim: Special Edition," this is one of the limited times when you will be vulnerable and you will be abducted. Soon, you will wake up in a neglected shack.

Upon waking, you have to decide if you are going to join or destroy the The Dark Brotherhood Assassin's Guild. Go to Astrid, the Dark Brotherhood Assassin, to initiate the quest to destroy the brotherhood. If you want to join the Dark brotherhood, obey his command and get access to their quest line. If you want to destroy the Dark Brotherhood, attack Astrid, says Gamerant.
