Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Extinguish the Reachmen's ritual pyres.

On the skirt of a mountain north of Solitude, you will find a camp set up by a wounded High Elf who requests your help. He was tasked with investigating Shadowgreen by a wise woman who is worried by the mountain's rumbling. Apparently, a group of Reachmen have begun a ritual to make the mountain erupt "into a second Red Mountain."

You accept to aid the Elf and enter the Shadowgreen. Once inside, you need to seek out the Reachmen's ritual fires. While searching the mountain's interior grove, you'll find it populated by common wildlife, spriggans, flame and frost atronachs, and of course, the Reachmen. There are four ritual pyres you need to extinguish. One is atop the cliff in the southern chamber. To reach the first pyre, you need to navigate either of the side chambers and take the path up to the top level of the southern chamber. There is also a way up to the top via a path that winds down this central cliff in the southern room, located on the east side of the landmass. The second is in the northwestern portion of the eastern chamber (north of the creek), and the third fire is in the northern corner of the northern chamber.

The final fire is located in the delve boss's room. It is accessible via tunnels in western corners of the north and eastern chambers. There are three tunnels in the delve boss's room that lead to each of the three rooms in Shadowgreen. The pyre is located in the northern tunnel, which leads to the snowy northern chamber. Once all of the pyres are extinguished, you need to return to Rafilerrion to inform him of your success. He will be pleased, and give you a cut of his pay.

The south tunnel is the fast path from the boss room to the delve exit. The tunnel ends in a one-way short drop making the tunnel inaccessible on the way into the delve.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
