The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
How does this gimmick work?
1 of 11: It's a weird falling-down trap/puzzle that you need to get past.
2 of 11: Whenever you use a push button, the large floor segment next to it will open up, allowing you to drop down to the next level of the puzzle.
3 of 11: Be sure to have a cheap healing spell ready to cast after each drop, since you'll usually lose a little health from the fall.
4 of 11: On several levels of the puzzle, including the first one, you have a choice of three floor segments to open and fall down through.
5 of 11: They all lead to the same bottom level, but not all of the possible routes are equally safe or lucrative.
6 of 11: Read on for the best way to get to the bottom of this puzzle.
7 of 11: In the starting room, press the left button to drop down into a small room with a lootable urn.
8 of 11: Then press its one wall button to drop down to the next three-button-choice room.
9 of 11: Loot the urns in that room, then use the right button to drop to a room with an urn, then use its one button to drop to the third three-button room.
10 of 11: Loot the urns and use the middle button to drop to a room with an urn.
11 of 11: Using the button in that room will drop you down to the bottom floor.
