The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

Crystal Chest Note

  • 1 of 8: There's a crystal chest back in the starting Hall of Honor area that I didn't mention before because we didn't know how to get at it yet.
  • 2 of 8: Near the door to the Hall of Devotion is a gate that you can open with a push button.
  • 3 of 8: Open it and go through it, then return to the Hall of Honor.
  • 4 of 8: Go west and south to a large room, then look in its NW corner to find that there's a small area there that's blocked by crystal walls that look like the ones in the Daedra leader's cell.
  • 5 of 8: So look around for a giant chime to ring.
  • 6 of 8: You'll find one hanging along the south wall of the room.
  • 7 of 8: Activate it, then go through one of the crumbled crystal walls to find the crystal chest.
  • 8 of 8: NOTE: You'll need a Heart of Order to open the chest, so check the bodies of the knights you've killed nearby if you don't have any on you.
