Elder Scrolls 4: Shivering Isles Walkthrough

This settlement is to the south of the Gates of Madness.

Everything In Its Place ==============

Talk with Ranarr-Jo, or Kishashi directly. Get the spoon from the queen by  raising her disposition. Give the spoon to the king and begin learning the  situation of the evil ruler.

Now, I will tell you what I did to beat this quest. I broke into her house,  she started running down the steps, I put on the invisibility and got out of  the way, and then she ran outside. I was then free to GRAB the stuff in her home and toss them all over the place. A message popped up saying that I  wrecked her home, but you still need the book. So then I went outside and came right back in to find her walking back up the steps. I just pickpocketed her and stole the book. Mission done. Talk with the dude and the quest is complete.

**You can’t use invisibility outside or you’ll lose it inside.**

However, I am guessing that this won’t work for everyone. You can try to get  lucky and catch her sleeping, but that is rare. I guess you will have to try and wreck her house before she gets upset with you. And then exit and enter to try and steal the book. And if all else fails, just try to kill her outright in her home. But I am thinking the best way is to use invisibility.

Reward: Ring of Mind Shielding, and a book.

This town is just north of Milchar.

To Help a Hero ==============

Talk with Pyke to get the quest rolling.

The Fetid Grove is north of Split. Inside, go up, right a bit, up, and then left all the way to the door. In the next area be sure to sneak through the  narrow path to avoid alerting the whole place. Sneaking will pay off big time as the enemies are spread out quite a bit. Clear the place out and grab the  medallion in the chest.

Exit the cave the way you came in and return the thing to Pyke.

Reward: Thorn Shield, great if you have Heavy Armor

This town is to the northeast of New Sheoth.

**If anyone finds better locations, drop me a line.**

Mirili’s Bestiary —————–

Now you have to get the following beasts to follow you to the scientist.

When you find one, just run back to the town and hope that she will eventually subdue it. Bring it close to the center of town. Also, only do this at night, or whenever she does her research outside. Be sure to save before you start to lure a beast.

**My Mirili glitched up a bit and would sometimes stay in her house. I think  it was because I would go inside her house when she was still in it, so  try not to do that. But if she is stuck, just punch her and lead her  outside, then yield to her. Get your monsters or whatever, but be sure  to turn yourself into the authorities, and be sure to dump your stolen  items before you do; pay the gold.**
Baliwog – I found one in the water that you can reach from the trail behind  Highcross. And if you don’t find one immediately, just follow the coast  and hope no other monster gets in the way.

Elytra – I found this to the east of the town.

Gnarl – I found one to the south. (make it follow you into a house if she   refuses to catch it, and then come back out).

Scalon – I found one near the dock by the water below.

Reward: All the gold you earned
