The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
To Help A Hero
1 of 10: To get this quest, talk to Pyke in Zoe Malene's house in Hale (location 52 on the world map).
2 of 10: When you ask about his crisis, he'll say that his Knights of the Thorn amulet was stolen by grummites near Fetid Grove.
3 of 10: Go enter Fetid Grove (location 37) and move along until you reach a path split.
4 of 10: Turn north and go through the root door, then go around the corner to find two north passages just ahead.
5 of 10: The west one leads to a door to the Encampment area, but it's best to take the other passage instead.
6 of 10: When the path splits again, go east, then go north at the next path split.
7 of 10: You'll come to another Encampment door, and you should go through this one.
8 of 10: Go forward and across the bridge, then turn left (SW) to get to the fortified grummite camp where your quest arrow is pointing.
9 of 10: After killing off the nearby grummites, find the chest that's between two tables and raid it to get Pyke's medallion.
10 of 10: Return to Pyke and hand over the medallion to get the very valuable Thorn Shield as a reward.
