The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
Gadeneri Ralvel
1 of 13: This skull is in Knifepoint Hollow (location 40 on the world map).
2 of 13: Inside, follow the tunnel along until you reach a room, then turn north.
3 of 13: Go through a metal door and into the next room, then drop down to the lower floor that's over on the left.
4 of 13: Enter the Chantry area and go through the metal door in the SW corner of its first room.
5 of 13: In the area beyond, find the tunnel that starts in the east wall and follow it along to a N/S path split.
6 of 13: Go either way at the split, since both routes lead around to the same large eastern room.
7 of 13: Go up the steps north of that room and through a metal door to reach a door that leads back to the main Knifepoint Hollow area.
8 of 13: Don't go through that door yet -- instead, open the metal gate nearby using its push button and enter the room to the east.
9 of 13: The eastern alcove of that room looks empty and worthless, but you can tell by checking the local area map that there's a secret wall there.
10 of 13: Jump up into the room beyond to find Gadeneri Ralvel's skull on top of a treasure chest.
11 of 13: To get back out, go through the nearby door that leads to the main Knifepoint Hollow area.
12 of 13: Use the push button in the base of the statue on your right to open up the west wall.
13 of 13: Go through the new opening and drop down a couple of times to find yourself back in the room where you dropped down to get to the Chantry door earlier. (This time, just head south to find the exit.)
