The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

Ebrocca Sepechra

  • 1 of 22: There are a whole lot of treasure containers (coffins, to be exact) in the Sepechra area of Ebrocca (location 43 on the world map), including quite a few leveled "boss loot" items. However, it's a very difficult area to get to, so I give exact directions below.
  • 2 of 22: Enter the Descenia area and watch out for skeleton ambushers while making your way to a SE/SW path split.
  • 3 of 22: Go SE to reach a room with three push buttons sticking out of the walls.
  • 4 of 22: Once you hit bottom, go through the open gate and on to find a door to the Duwane area.
  • 5 of 22: In Duwane's first room, use the push button that's to the left of the fire to open up an alcove with some treasure containers. (The right push button just uncovers a dart trap.)
  • 6 of 22: Loot the containers at the path bend south of that to find some random leveled loot, then go east to reach a room with a closed metal gate at its south end.
  • 7 of 22: When you approach a lootable urn that's right in the middle of the pathway, watch for two side walls to slide open and release undead for you to fight.
  • 8 of 22: Loot the urn and move on east to find a door to the Masse area.
  • 9 of 22: Ignore the nearby door to Fiele and go through the metal door to the south.
  • 10 of 22: As soon as the door is open, move back and let the creatures in the area beyond come to you. (Unless you're going through this area with 100% Chameleon on.)
  • 11 of 22: After you get all the ones that'll come to you, move cautiously into the next room, looking for any stragglers.
  • 12 of 22: It's important to get as many enemies as you can and fully heal yourself before you go up the stairs at the NW corner of the room, since statues will start firing spells at you as you move around the higher floor.
  • 13 of 22: Quickly move across to the south side of the room so you can go up more stairs and then cross back to the north side of the room. (Watch out for that last spell-tossin' statue -- it's a doozy!)
  • 14 of 22: Go up some more stairs to get up behind the last spell-tossin' statue and find the door to the Sepechra area.
  • 15 of 22: In Sepechra, move toward a metal gate to get it to open automatically.
  • 16 of 22: Save your game, since in the room beyond is Clanfather Malifant, a powerful and unique leveled enemy.
  • 17 of 22: After Malifant and the other undead are defeated, you're free to look around in the newly revealed side areas for treasure coffins. There are a bunch of them!
  • 18 of 22: When you're through looting, you'll have to leave through the Fiele area.
  • 19 of 22: There are two ways to get from Sepechra to Fiele: go back to Masse and use its Fiele door, or find the Fiele door that's hidden in Sepechra.
  • 20 of 22: In Fiele, make your way to the central room, then find the closed metal gate at the start of the south passage.
  • 21 of 22: Go past the open gate to find a door that leads back to the Shivering Isles world area. You're out at last!
  • 22 of 22: The Sepechra area, plus most of the other Ebrocca areas, will respawn after a few days, so you can come back and loot it all over again! (Maybe using the above shortcut tip to get to Sepechra faster from now on.)
