Quotes of Lucien

Didn't see it on the page but Lucien, if you go to Winterhold with him in toe, says:

"Do you feel it? Magic. Deep and ancient. It resonates from the College, like the beating of a heart."

As for the quote about "feel the wrath of sithis", this harkens back to when you meet him in oblivion after killing the first target.

While he is going over the rules of the dark brotherhood, He threatens you after stating each rule that, if broken "you will face the wrath of sithis".

Can someone confirm this:

When Lucien attacked a Thalmor agent before I did, the Thalmor said "The Thalmor's memory is long." I've never gotten that combat dialog before, so I was wondering if that was a unique dialog for use against Lucien specifically or not.

Another quote

When I was awarded him I directly summoned him, being curious about his quotes, and while still in the Sanctuary he said something about fitting atmosphere and lighting for a DB Sanctuary (I don't remember the exact wording but it was something in that neighborhood...)

Ive had this happen to, but the exact words escape me... Would it be possible to extract this off of the PC? --J'ZhirrthePriest 02:37, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Does this sound right? "Dreary, dank, and dimly lit. Truly a Sanctuary to call home." – Robin Hood↝talk 03:28, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes Robin and I can verify. I added it, good work team :) --J'ZhirrthePriest 02:24, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

A bug is false.

"He will not turn hostile with ranged attacks, so you can use this to level up skills.[verification needed — Does this work? If so, is it archery or all ranged attacks?]"

I just killed my to shut him up, as for the xbox version with all of the updates obtain by xbox live it will take about 5-6 shots but he will start attacking sooner or later. Anyone mind testing this for the PC with weaker bows/arrows? I didn't try it with spells but it may be safe to assume the guy who reported it simply only 2 shot kill him possibly to shut him up like I did. =P I will leave it as it is as I am using the xbox and getting automatic updates. No telling if this was simply patched or not.

I tested it on PC, patch 1.5.26.whatever. I could hit him with 4 arrows, firebolts, unarmed strikes, weapon strikes, or power bashes before he became hostile. I was able to yield by sheathing my weapon/spell, and he ceased. Doing it a second time, however, he didn't accept my yield and kept attacking. If I alternated between healing hands and firebolt, he never turned hostile, as long as I healed him significantly between firebolts (I tested this for about 1 minute until I exhausted my magicka). Using flames on him caused him to turn hostile in about 2 seconds. --Xyzzy 05:08, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Uses Modern Day robes but not Black Hand Robes

I was super hoping he would appear in his Black Hand Robes from Oblivion and not the ones in Skyrim. a Developer over-sight perhaps?--50.135.172.204 03:20, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Confusing Bug

"If you don't kill The Spectral Assassin in the presence of a Brotherhood member, the final Brotherhood quest will not be triggered."

This doesn;t make any sense to me. Explain?DonnabelBardOfTamriel 02:10, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

It's not true.--Skyrimplayer 18:22, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Then shouldn't it be removed? DonnabelBardOfTamriel 19:32, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

I'll do it.Unless you want to remove it.You are the one who noticed this after all.--Skyrimplayer 19:36, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Sneak mode

Is it somehow possible, for example, via console, to make him your follower, so he'll sneak with the character? Admit it, it's quite confusing for a silent asassin when his helper does all this noise while on-job. — Unsigned comment by 46.202.43.92 (talk) at 16:48 on 3 September 2012

Purification Line

The page says he only says the line about the Purification in the Falkreath Sanctuary, but I know I've heard him say it in the Dawnstar one, too (after the questline, of course). Schiffy (talk) 19:37, 31 October 2012 (GMT)

Not Healing

Whenever I summon Lucien and charge into battle I use the console command "getav health" afterwards to check his remaining hp. I've always noticed that he never heals. Is this a bug or is he not supposed to regenerate health? If so, can I force him to regenerate health using console commands? 107.47.33.137 03:23, 16 March 2013 (GMT)

He's undead. He can be healed by the necromantic healing spells from Dawnguard. --Morrolan (talk) 00:55, 21 September 2013 (GMT)

He isn't undead. I tested it. He's resistant to necromantic healing. I can heal him using healing hands. ESPlayer666 (talk) 21:27, 7 March 2015 (GMT)ESPlayer666

Question?

Will his level adjust every time he is summoned or is it set the moment you acquire him?Wrath425 (talk) 00:28, 5 April 2013 (GMT)

The default level of the Spectral Assassin is set to PC×1 (range=10-100), so that should require it to be based upon whatever level you are currently at when you choose to summon him -helenaanne  ^{talk ♥} 00:39, 5 April 2013 (GMT)

His remains.

They seem to normally despawn eventually. I think they despawn when the cell he died in respawns. However, if he dies in a cell that doesn't respawn, maybe then they wouldn't despawn ever. This should be tested. The bug report says they glow blue, which is correct, so spotting them isn't too hard. --Morrolan (talk) 00:54, 21 September 2013 (GMT)

Its been there over a year and not confirmed, if anyone feels like testing they can, but theres no reason to have it on the page anymore. Silence is Golden^{Break the Silence} 13:27, 1 October 2013 (GMT)

Confirmed. I kill him at my house Hiljarchen and also in College of Winterhold. Both remains stay there for months. Any way to delete them through console? I can not find any command to delete items. 162.216.46.150 14:47, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Be really sure you clicked on him then Disable , then MarkForDelete Ciberzombie (talk) 01:37, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Some bug

He can pick up a weapon, idk what and how was the trigger. In my case, he pick up staff. Note that the weapon he takes in his hand also becomes with a spectral texture (if you need proof, I took several screenshots)

Also, I have several photos of him in his un-"spectral texture" form (aka the second bug listed on the page). Perhaps this would be interesting information, but I am not sure if its needed
