How to fill a black soul gem?
Black Soul Gem in Skyrim can also be filled with one thing at that is the soul of a humanoid. This humanoid can be an orc, elf, or even a human. The two main techniques for filling the gem and capturing the soul are as follows:
- Soul Trap can be thrown on a humanoid to capture a soul (while carrying a Black Soul Gem). Once you’ve completed this, kill the humanoid to fill the Soul Gem.
- A weapon that has been blessed with the soul trap ability can also be used to capture a Soul Gem. Your Black Soul Gem will be filled as soon as you use that weapon to kill the humanoid.
He has to fill it, return it to Falion, and meet Falion in the Summoning Circle at Dawn, which is probably between 5 and 6 in the morning. The soul’s goal is to observe Falion as she performs the rituals so that you can then speak to her once more and fill the gem.
Players should be aware that Black Soul Gems in Skyrim cannot be used again and should only be used once.
