The Shadow of Sotha Sil, having claimed the Skeleton Key from the Blackfeather Court, is making his way to the center of the Clockwork City—The Cogitum Centralis. Proctor Luciana and I must find some way to follow him.

Quick WalkthroughEdit

2. Navigate the Evergloam (follow the Knave of Rooks hints to find the right way).
3. Enter portal of Cliffs Twilight.
4. Defeat Nightmaiden Viriana.
5. Enter portal to Clockwork City (leads to the northern part of the Mechanical Fundament).

Detailed WalkthroughEdit

NotesEdit

• While the Clockwork Clinician states to search the eastern quarter of the Brass Fortress for a tok-plug, the objective marker actually points to the Reactor District, the western district of the fortress.
• Despite the Knave of Rooks telling you the portal to Evergloam is closed, it can still be used, coinciding with the fact that the objective to speak to it at this point before proceeding is optional.
  • It also says right after that these portals can only be used with the help of Daedric crows. However, you can use gates such as these to access Exarchs' Egress and the Shadow Cleft without any help.
• Upon entering Evergloam, the Knave of Rooks asks you to follow it, but it will follow you instead.
• The shadows that Luciana Pullo dispels activates an elevator that now serves as shortcut leading to and from the Clockwork Basilica.

BugsEdit

• Despite dialogue from Divayth Fyr mentioning that the Shadow of Sotha Sil uses the Skeleton Key to lock all doors into the Mechanical Fundament, access to it still remain available, such as the doors in the marketplace. ^?
• Nightmaiden Viriana can disappear at random upon entering the church in Evergloam. ^?
  • Walking around the church or exiting and going back in makes her reappear.
• Stepping through the shadows covering the elevator doesn't inflict damage. The same shadows encountered in the following quest, "Where Shadows Lie" do however. ^?
• Taking the elevator down into the Mechanical Fundament from the Clockwork Basilica results in the shadow dispelling effect to occur again after the loading screen. ^?

Quest StagesEdit

Unto the Dark
Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
	I need to Speak at the former Chancellor Gascone to see if he knows how the Whispering Shadows cultists are moving through the city. We may be able to use their own methods against them. Objective: Talk to Chancellor Gascone
	Gascone claims to have the information I need, but he wants a favor in return. I either need to help him retrieve a mysterious contract, or convince him to tell me now. Complete one: Find Chancellor Gascone's Contract or Get the Information from Gascone
	I learned that the Whispering Shadows cultists use portals called Gloaming Gates to navigate the city in secret. Luciana and I could use these gates to reach the Cogitum Centralis—and Sotha Sil. I should inform Luciana. Objective: Talk to Luciana
	Luciana and I decided to split up and explore separate Gloaming Gates. I must travel to the eastern reaches of the Radius to find one of these gates. Objective: Find and Enter the Gloaming Gate Optional Step: Talk to the Knave of Rooks
	I entered the Gloaming Gate and found myself in the Evergloam—the realm of the Daedric Prince, Nocturnal. I need to look for other portals that might lead me to my destination: the Cogitum Centralis. Objective: Navigate the Evergloam
	An imposing Nocturnal Shrike, Nightmaiden Viriana, captured Luciana. I must defeat this Daedric creature to free my companion. Objective: Defeat Nightmaiden Viriana

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.
