Are you tired of the omnipresent guards that know when you killed someone even if it happened in the middle of the forest/while they sleep? Fear no more! With this guide you will be able to keep your murder count at 0 and the guards won't know it was you!

You will need something to kill them, right? They won't suddenly die in front of the guards/other NPCs without a weapon/arrow killing them! Or yes? Certain food especially used by the Dark Brotherhood: the Poisoned Apple and the Chokeberry (this one is added by the addon ''Vile Lair'') can be deadly if consumed (Obviously don't eat them or you will die).

- Poisoned Apples: You can find them in two places: 10 Apples inside Fort Farragut (East of Cheydinhal) and 5 that you can buy from a NPC of the Dark Brotherhood inside the sanctuary once you join them.
The better ones are those inside Fort Farragut, because they are free and since they respawn, you can take 10 each 72 hours.
East of Cheydinhal you will find this Fort, once you get there, look for a hollow tree northwest of the main fort door and you'll find there a trap door, use it and go to your left, near a table with alchemy
tools you will see a barrel with a ''very hard'' lock, open it and take the apples!

- Chokeberries: These only will appear inside Deepscorn Hollow (Wich is added by the ''Vile Lair'' addon) once you buy the garden upgrade. You can use them the same way as the apples. (Caution: If you don't have the ''Unofficial Official Mods Patch'' they will weight 0,1 pounds and you won't be able to reverse pickpocket them to a NPC)

Poisoned Apple and Chokeberries:

- Poisoned Apples: It's simple! Wait until the nigth and break inside the house of the NPC you want dead, then wait for them to go to bed and place the apple inside the NPC's inventory or a table somewhere where the NPC can take it. (Remember to grab the rest of the food inside the NPC's inventory and the house or the NPC won't eat the apple), then wait until they eat and watch how they suddenly die!
Or you can drop it in the middle of the street or a public place if you just want to kill random people!

- Chokeberries: Same method as the apples. (Well, if you don't have the Unofficial patch you'll need to drop them somewhere so the NPC can take them.)

REMEMBER:
Some NPCs never eat or they have a self-replenishing supply of food, so you can't kill them with the poisoned food.
Also, respawning NPCs like guards will carry the ''poisoned food'' effect each time they respawn and will die instantly each time they respawn.

I hope this guide helps new players (and old players that did not know about this method) to raise the count of dead NPCs, either to avoid the visit of Lucien or just because they don't want to be annoyed by the guards.
