The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
When will the switches be active, and how do I use them once they are?
1 of 6: Wait and watch until three adventurers run into the room below the window and start looking around.
2 of 6: You'll soon hear a sound effect that means the inactive switches have become active.
3 of 6: Look at them to see that the left one is labeled "Gnarl Swarm" and the right one is labeled "Giant Gnarl."
4 of 6: You can choose one button to press, and that's all.
5 of 6: So press one of them and then wait to see what happens.
6 of 6: If you chose "Giant Gnarl," the little gnarl in the room below will appear to become huge, thereby driving one of the adventurers loony. The "Gnarl Swarm" button will cause a bunch of regular-sized gnarls to attack, and the same adventurer will be killed. Either way, that leaves two adventurers and two chambers to go.
