The easiest way to start is by interacting with
wanted posters of the Gray Fox scattered across the
Imperial City. Approach one and read it, then:
Talk to a guard and ask about the Gray Fox.Repeat this dialogue with multiple guards until one mentions:
"The beggars love him, especially in the Waterfront."Step 2: Find Puny Ancus in the Waterfront District

Waterfront District (south of the Imperial City) and locate
Puny Ancus, a beggar near the docks.
- Bribe or persuade him until his disposition is at least 80.
- Select the dialogue option:
"Yes. I want to work with him." - He will then instruct you to go to the Garden of Dareloth at midnight.
Step 3: Meet Armand Christophe
At midnight, enter the Garden of Dareloth (located in the Talos Plaza District).
- Armand Christophe will approach you—speak to him about the Gray Fox.
- Bribe or persuade him until his disposition is at least 60.
- He will then offer you a chance to join the Thieves Guild by giving you the quest:
"May the Best Thief Win."
Step 4: Complete "May the Best Thief Win"
