How To: Get the 'The Eye of Magnus' Achievement in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Further proving I need to start the College of Winterhold quest line already, here comes this achievement tutorial for 'The Eye of Magnus'. This is the last main quest for the College of Winterhold, and the coolest looking quest in the storyline. In true fantasy fashion, there's a really evil wizard looking to uproot all of reality, and you're tasked with taking him down for good. Here's a tip, though: shoot The Eye of Magnus with The Staff of Magnus so you're able to directly attack Ancano.

Once victorious, you'll be christened the Archmage of Winterhold. You'll also be given the Archmage's Robes, which makes all spells cost 15% less magicka to cast, adds 50 points to your total magicka, and regenerates magica 100% faster. Those are pretty much the best robes in the game, and totally worth becoming Archmage over.
