The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
Immediate Assault Tips
1 of 14: After you tell Kaneh that you'll help with the assault she's planned, follow the saints (at a distance) as they make their way into the dark seducer part of Cylarne.
2 of 14: Follow them along until they reach a large room with dark seducer archers on high-up perches.
3 of 14: That would be a good spot to start helping them.
4 of 14: Either hit the enemy archers with arrows or spells, or run through the room and into the west passage.
5 of 14: In the room past that, there's a push button next to a gate that'll open it.
6 of 14: Go through the gate and turn right to get to where some of the dark seducer archers are posted.
7 of 14: Your opening of the gate also allows the golden saints to follow you and rush the archers.
8 of 14: To disable the spell-spittin' statues on both sides of the gate, find the statue that's just NE of the gate as soon as you go through it and use the push button that's in its base.
9 of 14: As soon as you disable the spell statues, find and open another gate near the SE end of the same room, then run through it and stay behind the golden saints so they'll have to do all the heavy hacking.
10 of 14: When the sounds of battle stop, go back through the last gate you opened and head east to reach the Altar of Despair door.
11 of 14: In the altar area, move forward to the room with the green quest arrow in it to find that your saintly friends are engaged in another battle with the enemy.
12 of 14: When you get a journal entry saying that the dark seducer commander is dead, you'll know the war is almost won.
13 of 14: Help the saints finish off the last few dark seducers in the area. You'll get another journal entry when the last one dies.
14 of 14: After you talk to Kaneh, watch as she sacrifices herself to relight the Altar of Despair flame.
