The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

Which side should I choose?

  • 1 of 4: It doesn't really matter, except when it comes to your reward.
  • 2 of 4: If you choose the Mania side, you'll get the Raiment of Arden-Sul. Lighting the torch for Dementia gets you the Raiment of Intrigue.
  • 3 of 4: When you've made your decision, talk to the appropriate priest (Arctus for Dementia, Dervenin for Mania) and say you'll light the torch for his side.
  • 4 of 4: Follow him to a newly opened unlit torch chamber, then step inside to transfer the Flame of Agnon to that torch.
