A Shadow Over Hackdirt Walkthrough
Travel to Hackdirt

Travel to Hackdirt, which is directly south of Chorrol. When you arrive, speak with Etira Moslin in Moslin’s Dry Goods to learn that Dar-Ma never arrived with the scheduled delivery.
Next, speak with Jiv Hiriel, who can be found walking around the town, to learn that Dar-Ma is in danger.

He’s too afraid to speak out in the open and wants you to meet him in his house after dark.
Meet with Jiv
Wait until 9 then meet Jiv inside his house and inquire about Dar-Ma.
Enter the Trap Door
After you learn what happened, enter Moslin’s Inn and make your way to the trap door on the back right side of the room.

Once inside the tunnel, swing immediately left to find Dar-Ma inside a cage and tell her that you’ll free her. Interact with her again to set her free since Jiv gave you the key! Speak with her again and have her follow you.
Exit the caverns and inn then follow her to her horse, Blossom.
Once she hops on, return to Chorrol and speak with Seed-Neeus. Tell her that you’ve found her missing daughter and the quest will complete. Your Mercantile Skill will increase as a reward.
