The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
Pool of Mania
1 of 10: Go west and then north from the entrance to find a three-way path split.
2 of 10: First, you may want to go north and use the chrysalis to spawn a new tame gnarl.
3 of 10: Go back to the path split and down the east path.
4 of 10: Go through a root door to enter a huge room, then move along its south side until you can find a large root ramp leading down to the lower center floor.
5 of 10: Activate the chrysalis in the center west part of the lower floor, then find the root ramp just north of it and go up it.
6 of 10: Follow the north passage along until you reach a large pool in which three Priests of Order are gathered around a big pool-poisoning crystal formation.
7 of 10: NOTE: If you've already cleansed the Pool of Dementia, the traitor Syl or Thadon (whoever you didn't replace earlier) will be here, too. Be sure to get his/her valuable magic gear after he/she dies.
8 of 10: Do your best to sneak-attack a priest or two, then summon a creature and help it finish them off.
9 of 10: After they're all dead, loot their bodies to get some Shards of Order.
10 of 10: Then go up the root ramp in the south part of the pool area, since it leads to a shortcut way back to the Fountainhead.
