The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
Xeddefen
1 of 9: From the entry area, head east until the corridor turns north.
2 of 9: In the room beyond, either kill or pickpocket the Priest of Order to get his Xeddefen key.
3 of 9: Use it to get through one of the two locked metal doors that are at the north end of the next room.
4 of 9: Past the doors, try to stay out of the way as some knights run by you on their way to attack Passwall. (Unless you're short on Hearts of Order, in which case you may want to fight these knights.)
5 of 9: The next large chamber you come to will have a priest guarded by two knights. Once again, stealth is advised unless you need something they have.
6 of 9: Sneak carefully along the west side of their room until you reach a northern alcove where some large crystals are jutting out of the wall.
7 of 9: Look near the crystals to find a push button.
8 of 9: Use it to open up the nearby west wall segment, then go through it.
9 of 9: When you enter a small room, you'll get dropped down into a water-logged grummite egg room, from which you can make your way north to a door to the Fane area.
