The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
Ring of the Oceanborn
1 of 9: This is a magic ring that's very similar to the Fin Gleam helm in that it has the very useful enchantments of Water Breathing and Night-Eye on it.
2 of 9: You'll find the ring in Xirethard's Subterrane section, which has an entrance door at location 26 on the world map.
3 of 9: Inside, go forward and down sets of stairs until you reach a large room with side walkways and fallen-over pillars.
4 of 9: Head north through that room and turn east at the path split just past it.
5 of 9: Run east through the next large room you come to, since it will do its very best to drop large chunks of rubble on you.
6 of 9: Past it, go down some more stairs to reach a large room with small fires burning all around a big square hole in the floor with stairs leading down.
7 of 9: Don't go down the stairs or fall into the hole, though -- the chest you're after is in this room.
8 of 9: Check the rubble in the SW corner of the room to find the Dark Chest of Wonders.
9 of 9: If you can pick its lock, you'll be able to take the Ring of the Oceanborn from it.
