The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

Where can I find them?

  • 1 of 14: In the possession of the grummites who've taken over the place.
  • 2 of 14: In particular, grummite shamen.
  • 3 of 14: After going through the push-button-opened gate near where you enter Xedilian, go west across a large room to find another push-button-opened gate.
  • 4 of 14: After you go west and then south a bit, you'll find the first grummite shaman near a judgment nexus. (The nexus will be marked with a quest arrow on the local area map.)
  • 5 of 14: Kill the shaman and take the crystal staff from his body to find that the first focus crystal is on the staff.
  • 6 of 14: It'll be automatically extracted and put into your inventory, so activate the nearby judgment nexus to place the crystal.
  • 7 of 14: Doing so will open the metal gate that's a bit to the south of the nexus, so go through it to continue the search.
  • 8 of 14: As before, the location of the next nexus is marked with a quest arrow, so start heading for it.
  • 9 of 14: Past that, you'll soon come to the second judgment nexus and the grummite shaman who has its focus crystal.
  • 10 of 14: As before, kill the shaman, take his crystal staff, and then activate the judgment nexus to place the focus crystal in it.
  • 11 of 14: Placing the crystal opens the gate to the east, so go through it to start your journey to the third nexus and crystal.
  • 12 of 14: After you go through a large grummite-guarded room, you'll come to a door to the Halls of Judgment area.
  • 13 of 14: In the halls, fight and loot your way to the third and final judgment nexus.
  • 14 of 14: After killing the nearby grummite shaman, take its staff and then activate the nexus as before.
