The “Bound Until Death” quest is the seventh mission in the Dark Brotherhood side story. In this quest, you are required to kill a woman named Vittoria Vici. The task sounds pretty simple, but the challenge here is that if you kill Vittoria without careful planning, you'll find yourself fighting several guards and having a bounty on your character's head.

  1. After completing “The Silence has Been Broken” quest, you'll be required to go back to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, west of Falkreath.
    • Inside you'll be talking to Gabriella, one of the assassins of the brotherhood. She'll then tell you that you need to assassinate a woman named Vittoria Vici, who's getting married.
  2. Vittoria Vici can be found in the Temple of the Divines in Solitude. Take the northeastern road from the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, and it will lead you north all the way to the city of Solitude.

  3. Once you get inside Solitude, walk straight up to the other end of the city and turn right. Here you'll find the Temple of the Divine where Vittoria Vici is sitting together with her husband. You can approach and talk to her if you like, but it is not necessary.
  4. From where Vittoria Vici is sitting, take the exit on the left that leads back to the main courtyard. On the right side from the exit you took, you'll notice a staircase that leads to a place up the building. Take this staircase to the upper area of the Temple of the Divine.
  5. Up in this area you'll find a singular statue that looks like the head of a horse; it is sitting right outside the edge of the stony path you're on. If you approach it and look over the edge, you'll see that it sits right on top of where Vittoria and her groom are sitting.
  6. After the celebration, which happens around past 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Vittoria and her groom will leave their seat and walk up to the balcony right below the gargoyle statue.
  7. Once Vittoria and her husband are on the balcony, approach the statue and an “Interaction” button will appear on the screen. Press the Interaction button on your controller as instructed, and your character will push the gargoyle off the edge of the stone path on to the balcony, killing Vittoria Vici.
  8. While everyone is in panic, climb down the staircase and leave the city of Solitude without being attacked by the guards.
    • This strategy will also help you avoid getting a bounty on your head.

      • If you drop the statue before Vittoria is on the balcony, it will alert the guards, and you will have to kill her using your weapons, which will gain you a bounty.
      • If you get a bounty while killing Vittoria, you'll be attacked and persecuted by imperial guards every time you go back to the city of Solitude.
