The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

Eastern Route Tips

  • 1 of 9: In the first trap room, there'll be crisscrossing spells being constantly thrown by statues.
  • 2 of 9: It's fairly easy to run across the center of the room and make it to the closed metal gate on the other side without getting hit.
  • 3 of 9: Especially if you start running right after the nearest set of spells fires.
  • 4 of 9: Use the push button near the metal gate to open it, then move on to the second trap room.
  • 5 of 9: In it, you have crisscrossing spells *and* opening floor panels to worry about.
  • 6 of 9: You need to head straight south to another metal gate.
  • 7 of 9: When the openable floor segment in front of you is closed, run across it and stop on the safe bit of flooring between it and the next one.
  • 8 of 9: Repeat until you're across, then use the push button to open the metal gate.
  • 9 of 9: Past the gate, go forward and then turn right to find a metal door that leads to the room where the eastern and western routes merge.
