The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Guide Meridia's Light through the Temple.
1 of 13: Go down the stairs from the shrine and turn left, then go down the wide path until you come to the Kilkreath Temple's entry door on your left.
2 of 13: Enter the temple and make your way down the passages until you reach a large chamber with a pedestal on some raised flooring.
3 of 13: Go up to the pedestal and use it, then go through the open doors at the other end of the room and on to where some corrupted shades attack you.
4 of 13: Go up the stone stairs in their room to reach another pedestal. Use it, then look on the south side of the room for a short passage that leads to another shade-infested area.
5 of 13: Fight your way through it, then move on to a large multi-level room with more shades in it. After you finish them off, go up either set of log stairs to get to the next pedestal. (Note that one set of stairs leads to a gap you have to jump, and the other leads to a walkway that goes around to an intact bridge.)
6 of 13: Use the pedestal, then jump the gap to quickly reach the door that opens, past which is a door that leads outside.
7 of 13: Go left and across a bridge to find a treasure chest and some stairs that lead to a door that goes back into the ruins.
8 of 13: When you come to a huge multi-level room, stay near its entrance and lure shades to you, then go up the nearby set of log stairs to get to the next pedestal.
9 of 13: After using it, look across the room to see the next pedestal in the distance.
10 of 13: After activating that pedestal, jump back across to the bridge, then jump over the gap (or go around) to reach the open door.
11 of 13: Move on to another room with a shade in it, then go up its east stairs and down a passage to reach the next pedestal.
12 of 13: After using it, drop carefully down to the floor, then go through the open door in the south wall to reach a door that leads to the Kilkreath Catacombs area.
13 of 13: Use the pedestal in the first room you come to, then go through the doors that open. After quicksaving, move on to get the next objective.
