The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Choose Nightingale Role.
1 of 5: All you have to do to finish the quest is move onto one of the three large circles that are arranged around the Ebonmere.
2 of 5: Which one you move onto will determine which power you get. See the list below for details.
* new moon symbol => Shadowcloak of Nocturnal: You automatically become invisible while sneaking for 120 seconds. * half moon symbol => Nightingale Subterfuge: Any NPC or creature within the area of effect is frenzied for 30 seconds. * full moon symbol => Nightingale Strife: Absorb 100 points of health from the target.
3 of 5: Remember that each of those is a power you can use only once a day, and you'll have to wait at least 24 hours after choosing a power before you can switch to another one.
4 of 5: When you're ready to go, use any of the three dark-blue portals to return to the sepulcher's entrance area, from which you can quickly reach the exit door.
5 of 5: NOTE: When you return to the cistern area, you'll find that there's now a large statue of Nocturnal on its north side. You can use the statue to cure all of your diseases and get a special Blessing of Nocturnal, which fortifies your Sneak skill by 10 points for eight hours.
