The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

Aichan Escape Tips

  • 1 of 10: First, cast a Night-Eye spell if you have one so you can see better. (A Light spell would also work, but would interfere with sneaking.)
  • 2 of 10: Then raid the battered chest in your cell to get a couple of weapons.
  • 3 of 10: Find the small push button that's on the wall near the NE corner of your cell and use it to open up an exit in the northern wall.
  • 4 of 10: Go through a metal door to find yourself in a room with a push button on a statue in the center and gates on either side of you.
  • 5 of 10: The idea here is that you have a choice of whether to go east or west.
  • 6 of 10: Use the push button to open both gates, but note that they both close when you go through one of them, forcing you to choose one route or the other.
  • 7 of 10: When you finish a route, you'll be in a large room with the evidence chest and a golden saint "turnkey" in it.
  • 8 of 10: Sneak carefully over to the evidence chest so you can grab your goods and equip yourself better before you fight the turnkey.
  • 9 of 10: Actually, you don't have to fight the turnkey -- you could sneak or run past her, use the push button on the wall to open the metal gate, and run outside.
  • 10 of 10: However, the turnkey will follow you outside if she saw you leave, and there are two grummites out there to deal with, too.
