The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

Final Resting

  • 1 of 13: To get this quest, you need to find Hirrus Clutumnus, who'll be somewhere in New Sheoth's Crucible district.
  • 2 of 13: His house is next to Brithaur's near the south end of Crucible. If he's not there, try Sickly Bernice's Taphouse, the Sacellum Arden-Sul, and near the gate to the palace grounds.
  • 3 of 13: When you talk to him, he'll say to meet him after dark at a certain sewer grating.
  • 4 of 13: You don't have to figure out where the grating is. Just wait until after 9 pm, then make this quest active and follow the quest arrow to find him.
  • 5 of 13: Follow him to the sewer grate if he's not there already, then unequip your torch if you have one out.
  • 6 of 13: Talk to him to learn that he wants you to kill him. What a nut!
  • 7 of 13: After you finish talking to him, keep a bit of distance from him and follow him along as he walks away from the sewer grate.
  • 8 of 13: The nearby dark seducer guard will undoubtedly see you if you attack him right away, so wait a bit.
  • 9 of 13: You can probably sneak-attack him without being seen at some point, but it's best to wait and follow him all the way to his favorite spot near the door to the palace grounds.
  • 10 of 13: Once he's standing at the corner of the drop-off, talk to him to get the option to push him off. (Thankfully, the nearby dark seducer guard will just shrug this off instead of prosecuting you for murder.)
  • 11 of 13: Go down the stairs and find his body so you can get the key off of it.
  • 12 of 13: Then go to his house and enter its upstairs area.
  • 13 of 13: Find the jewelry box on top of the cupboard and loot it to get a valuable Ring of Happiness.
