The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
Althel's Ghost
1 of 12: You'll find this ghost up on the small square platform that has the main gate wheel on it. (It's a ways directly north of the Reservoir door.)
2 of 12: She complains about being without any arrows during the battle, so go find her some.
3 of 12: Try the armory in the Keep area.
4 of 12: It's up in the NE corner of the area.
5 of 12: Talking to the orc ghost through the window doesn't do any good, but notice that the arrows you want are on the table just to the right of him.
6 of 12: You can't reach the arrows through the window, and they're too ghostly for a Telekinesis spell to work on them.
7 of 12: So find the door that leads into the armory and break in.
8 of 12: Either pick the door's lock or find the key.
9 of 12: Once you're in the armory, you'll have to sneak around to avoid being noticed by the orc, who'll teleport you back outside and relock the armory door if he catches you.
10 of 12: Grab anything else you want, then sneak over to where you can nab the arrows from the small table near the orc.
11 of 12: Leave the armory and return to the Bailey area.
12 of 12: Give the ghostly arrows to Althel, then wait until you get a journal entry about eliminating one of the four fanatic raiders.
