Your friendly guide to completing The Elder Scrolls VI's Gadeneri Ralvel quest. Find the skull, navigate the Chantry, and unlock powerful rewards!

Alright, let's tackle the Gadeneri Ralvel quest in The Elder Scrolls VI! This one involves a bit of dungeon crawling and puzzle-solving. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you need to head to a cave called Knifepoint Hollow. Once you're inside, make a hard left and get ready to fight some undead. Keep heading left at the next intersection. You'll see a pit – drop down it to enter the Chantry.
  2. 2
    Inside the Chantry, make your way around to the south side. You'll find a metal door; go through it, and it'll loop you back around to the east. Take a left at the next intersection, heading north this time. Keep an eye out for a nasty licking plant trap just around the bend at the top of the hill – don't get too close!
  3. 3
    Continue heading east, passing through another metal door. You'll encounter some Zealots along the way, so deal with them. Keep going until you reach the end of the hall and pass through an open gate. Head north, go up the stairs, and through another metal door.
  4. 4
    You'll see a gate with a green face button on the right. Press it to enter. Now, sneak behind the left pillar and press another switch. This will open up a chamber to the east. Head inside this new chamber to grab the skull you're looking for.
  5. 5
    With the skull in hand, it's time to leave the Chantry. Head west and go back through the door into Knifepoint Hollow. Once you're back in the main cave area, press the button on the right. This will drop you back into the room where you initially dropped down the pit. From here, head south and leave the ruins.
Tips
  • Once you've collected all five skulls (this guide covers one of them), you'll need to return them to the spirits at The Hill of Suicides. Doing this for each skull will grant you a Fortify Fatigue buff of 100 points for 1200 seconds.
  • After all five skulls are returned and the spirits are freed, you'll earn the Greater Power called Risen Flesh. It's a pretty sweet reward for your efforts!
  • The source text also mentions Vampirism in The Elder Scrolls VI. While not directly part of this quest, it's worth noting that unlike previous games, you won't be attacked by citizens or guards while a vampire. However, you only get two vampire quests, and you can't join any vampire clans (likely detailed in the 'Deepscorn Hollow' add-on). Also, fellow vampires will still be hostile towards you.
  • The advantages of being a vampire include 100% disease and paralysis resistance, regardless of your level. Certain skills like Acrobatics, Athletics, Destruction, Hand to Hand, Illusion, Mysticism, and Sneak get boosted, as do abilities like Strength, Willpower, and Speed. Your vampiric powers also increase based on how long it's been since your last feeding, with four levels corresponding to feeding intervals.
