The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

The Hill of Suicides

  • 1 of 11: This unofficial quest has to do with the Hill of Suicides (location 28 on the world map) and the five ghosts hanging around there.
  • 2 of 11: However, you can't talk to the ghosts, attack them, or interact with them in any way.
  • 3 of 11: Ask around in the various settlements to see if anyone knows anything about the Hill of Suicides.
  • 4 of 11: If you talk to Erver Devani in Deepwallow (location 23), he'll tell you that you can free the suicidal souls by bringing their remains to them.
  • 5 of 11: In particular, you need to get their specially marked skulls.
  • 6 of 11: There's one skull per customer, so see the hints below to find them.
  • 7 of 11: After you find a skull, look around the Hill of Suicides area for the person it goes with.
  • 8 of 11: Click on the spirit to hand over the skull and get a long-lasting blessing that fortifies your fatigue by 100 points.
  • 9 of 11: The spells are cumulative, so you could collect four of the skulls and then hand them in all at once to get a long-lasting +400 to your fatigue!
  • 10 of 11: When you turn over the fifth skull, you get the Risen Flesh greater power which allows you to reanimate a dead NPC for 60 seconds, during which time he'll follow you around and fight for you. (It's like the Staff of Worms that you can get while doing the final Mages Guild quest, with the obvious limitation that you can only use this greater power once a day.)
  • 11 of 11: And do report back to Erver Devani to get a leveled gold reward for helping his sister.
