The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
Fill the Initiate's Ewer.
1 of 5: Talk to the ghost named Prelate Sidanyis to get him to raise the nearby wayshrine.
2 of 5: Enter the wayshrine and activate the basin to draw water from it. (If the game says something about how you can't do that during combat, try exiting and reentering the wayshrine.)
3 of 5: After you get your basin water, use the shimmering wall portal to teleport yourself to the Forgotten Vale region.
4 of 5: Move down the cave passage until you come to the bottom of a large shaft-like room. Use the passage on its other side to get around to where you're on a higher pathway, then follow it along until you discover the Forgotten Vale. (Yes, it's another huge new area, similar to the Soul Cairn.)
5 of 5: Your main task in the vale is to visit the four remaining wayshrines in the series of five. You can visit them in any order, but the hints below will assume you want to visit them in the most convenient order.
