3: Priory of the Nine

Before undertaking this quest, ensure that you have a silver, enchanted, or Daedric weapon in your inventory so you can deal damage to ghosts. Fast travel to the location on your map nearest to the Priory of the Nine and go the rest of the way on foot. Have 'Priory of the Nine' set as your active quest and follow the arrow on your compass to reach the monastery.

When you reach the spot, follow the arrow on your compass to a wooden door and enter the Priory of the Nine. Upon entering, turn left and look in the corner there to spot a Knights of the Nine emblem. This emblem can be activated using Sir Amiel's Ring, which you should have retrieved in the Shrine of the Crusader. Activate the emblem, and a set of stairs to the Priory Basement will appear. Make your way to the Priory Undercroft area and approach the Cuirass of the Crusader at the other end.

Use Sir Amiel's Ring on the Knights of the Nine Symbol in the Priory of the Nine to uncover the Priory Undercroft.

Interact with the Cuirass of the Crusader in the Priory Undercroft, and you will be confronted by the ghost of Sir Amiel. A circle of fallen knights will appear before you. To earn the right to wear the Cuirass of the Crusader, you must best each of the fallen knights in combat. The ghostly knights do not use magic or anything, so you shouldn't have any difficulty defeating them. Once bested Sir Amiel, you can then take the Cuirass of the Crusader.

By speaking to the other knight's in the Priory Undercroft, the quests to obtain the other pieces of the Divine Crusader armor set will be added to your journal. Speak to Sir Casimir about the Gauntlets, to add 'Stendarr's Mercy' to your journal. Speak to Sir Ralvas about the Mace of Zenithar to add 'The Path of the Righteous' to your journal. Sir Juncan will tell you of the Boots of the Crusader, adding the 'Nature's Fury' quest to your journal. Speak to Sir Henrik about Fort Bulwark add 'Wisdom of the Ages' to your journal.

Best the ghostly Knights in the Priory Undercroft to acquire the Cuirass of the Crusader.

The quests to obtain the other pieces of the Divine Crusader armour set do not need to be completed in a specific order, though you must complete Nature's Fury before you can complete The Path of the Righteous.
