The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine Hints

What's the shortcut way?

  • 1 of 7: If you stand near Sir Amiel's remains and look north, you'll be able to see the helm on an altar on a higher floor.
  • 2 of 7: You'll know that's it because there's a green quest arrow pointing to it on the local area map.
  • 3 of 7: Look back to the east, the way you came, to see that there's a broken-off pillar near the point where you dropped down into the room.
  • 4 of 7: Get back up onto that ledge by jumping onto the broken-off pillar and then to the ledge. This will require an Acrobatics skill of about 30.
  • 5 of 7: Then turn so that you're facing the upper floor with the helm.
  • 6 of 7: You should easily be able to jump over the nearby pillar's little ledges and onto the floor with the helm.
  • 7 of 7: NOTE: This shortcut was foreseen by the game's designers, and they rigged it so that an extra undead creature will appear behind the room's south gate when you make the jump.
