The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

Where can I get the daggers that he wants?

  • 1 of 9: To find one apostle dagger, go up the stairs west of Ra'kheran's room, then find the north passage on the lower floor of the large room beyond.
  • 2 of 9: At its north end, turn right to find a bedroom area.
  • 3 of 9: The dagger you want is on top of the cupboard in the SE corner of that area.
  • 4 of 9: From there, go back west and south to the large room, then enter its west passage (near the SW corner of the room).
  • 5 of 9: Follow the passage along until you reach the dining area, then turn north to find the door to the Antechamber.
  • 6 of 9: In the Antechamber, go forward and through the heavily locked door (courtesy of the key you got from the apostle you killed earlier).
  • 7 of 9: In the room past that door, don't talk to anyone, but just pick up the dagger on the table near the SW corner and then go back the way you came.
  • 8 of 9: That'll be enough if you picked up the dagger that the apostle you killed back in Narthex dropped. If you missed it, go back and get it.
  • 9 of 9: If you've got a full set of Chameleon Clothing, you could put it on and then sneak-attack one of the apostles who has a dagger equipped until he dies, then take the dagger from his body. (You may need to use a Silence potion or two to keep him from healing himself constantly.)
