Note that you can also complete the quest 'Relmyna's Tears' given by Nanette Don in Passwall in order to defeat the Gatekeeper. Use your new arrows to put him down for good, then loot his corpse for the Key to Mania and the Key to Dementia.

Head back to Passwall and 'wait' for about 6 hours.Д®quip the bone arrows that Jared gave you and head back to the Gatekeeper. Speak to him after he gathers some bones from the dead Gatekeeper and he'll tell you to meet him in a few hours. Pick the lock on the gate, then enter and kill the skeletons so Jared can safely enter. Find Jared and agree to help him, then follow him to your destination. He'll tell you to go talk to Jared Ice-Veins. Find Shelden, the Mayor of Passwall and speak with him. Don't try to kill the Gatekeeper yet, because you can't. Head down the hill and follow the road until you reach the town of Passwall.ДЇollow your compass through town and up some stairs to watch the 'Gatekeeper' wipe out a party of adventurers. You'll enter the Shivering Isles and receive a quest called 'Through the Fringe of Madness', so set it as your active quest. Ask a few questions, then tell him you wish to enter and you'll unlock this achievement: Have a seat at the table in front of you and speak with Haskill. There isn't much to do here - talk to a couple of people, kill the crazy guy, speak with the guard, then head through the glowing portal. Once you find it, reach the island where this DLC takes place. There are no horses in the Shivering Isles. That's right, prepare to do a lot of running. The Shivering Isles holds all this, and more. Go to faraway lands, meet new and interesting people.and kill them. Not to mention loads and loads of new enemies to fight. There are new materials for forging equipment and many unique items of clothing and jewelry, as well. You will find many new and unusual items, weapons, armors, potions, and ingredients in the Shivering Isles. The only effect your decision has is on what reward you'll receive. You can side with Mania one time, and with Dementia the next, without affecting the story line. It doesn't matter what you pick, and you don't even need to be consistent in your choices if you don't want to. At any rate, you will be asked at various points throughout the main quest line (and during several side quests) to make decisions that side with either Mania or Dementia. He's also completely and totally hilarious. Sheogorath is a Daedra Prince who is completely and totally batshit insane. Mania and Dementia are the two factions that rule the realm of The Shivering Isles, with ultimate rule being held by Lord Sheogorath. Each quest will earn you an achievement once completed, so make a back-up save before starting either of these quests. *You can choose either of these quests to continue. Ritual of Accession (Ritual of Mania/Ritual of Dementia) * If you want to find a specific quest in this page, use the CTRL+F search function of your browser to type in the name of the quest preceeded by a ' # ' marker (like ' # Through the Fringe of Madness'). The rest of the achievements after these two are not subject to your choices, and therefore are not missable. To avoid a second playthrough, make sure to create a back-up save before making your choice, so you can complete one quest first to get one achievement, and then reload the previous save to complete the other quest too and get the other achievement as well. Therefore the two achievements related to those quests ('Ritual of Mania' and 'Ritual of Dementia') are missable: Duke Mania, Shivering Isles and Duke Dementia, Shivering Isles. The choice you make will determine which quest will trigger afterwards, and an achievement will be unlocked for completing each of them.

This choice is the only one in the entire game which has an impact on the achievements. You can swim out to the island containing the door, or ride your horse and let the horse do the swimming.ДЄlthough there are many, many side quest available in the Shivering Isles, in this walkthrough we will focus on the main storyline quests only, leaving it to you to seek out and complete the optional ones.Дuring the course of the main quest (during the 'Ritual of Accession') you'll have to make a choice. For a map reference of where to locate the door, look in the water of the Niben Bay down in the South of Cyrodiil, directly East of the city of Leyawiin. You can now access the DLC through this door. After 24 hours of in-game time (sometimes it may take up to 72 in-game hours you can use the 'Wait' command if you want) you will get a pop-up telling you that 'A strange door has appeared in Niben Bay.', etc., etc.
