The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
M'desi
1 of 17: This skull is in the Rotten Den (location 13 on the world map).
2 of 17: In the starting Deadfall area, go forward and through a root door.
3 of 17: Make your way carefully along the passage past the door, watching out for spells from above.
4 of 17: When you get past that area and come to a path split, turn right (east), go through a root door, and then start on another long trench run.
5 of 17: Go through the Precipice door when you get to it, then go south until you reach a path split.
6 of 17: Go either way, then slide down to the large lower chamber to the south.
7 of 17: Go up a large root ramp at its south end to reach a big room with three doors and a boss chest at the base of a large statue.
8 of 17: Go through the Sanctum door and then drop down through the large hole in the floor nearby.
9 of 17: Find another floor hole to drop through, and then another.
10 of 17: After that third hole-drop, turn east at the path split and watch out for a bunch of spike traps.
11 of 17: Keep heading east until you pass through a root door.
12 of 17: Just past the door, look to the right and jump to the root ramp you see nearby that leads to a passage.
13 of 17: Follow the passage south through another spiky area to reach the room with M'desi's skull.
14 of 17: It's on top of a chest at the base of the large spell-spitting statue that's along the south wall.
15 of 17: To start on the way out, go back north and down to the lower floor of the big room with sets of coffins on stone slabs.
16 of 17: Go up the root ramp on the east side of that room, then east to find a door to the Hollow area.
17 of 17: Make your way through it to reach the Sanctum area, from which you can return to the Precipice area and retrace your steps to the exit.
