The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine Hints
What good is the ichor?
1 of 8: You can use it on the ichor basin in the hollow's shrine area.
2 of 8: You only have to use the ichor on the basin once to activate the shrine. There's no need to buy more of that expensive stuff.
3 of 8: After the shrine is activated, try clicking on the ichor basin again.
4 of 8: This shrine is for evil (infamous) characters only, so if you're a good (famous) guy, you won't get anything.
5 of 8: Specifically, you'll only get a blessing from the shrine if your Infamy score is larger than your Fame score.
6 of 8: There are varying levels of blessings, which depend on exactly how high your Infamy is. Get it up over 90 for the very best one.
7 of 8: Or finish the Thieves Guild quest series and put the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal on. That way, you'll get the best blessing every time no matter what your normal Fame and Infamy levels are.
8 of 8: NOTE: You can only get the blessing once a day.
