Shivering:Knifepoint Hollow

Related Quests



Notes
This cave can be entered and all items retrieved without starting the related quest. It is however impossible to access a room in the first zone and to therefore come across Dyus.
This cave contains 17 Root Stalk plants and 47 Withering Moon plants.

The exterior is located at coordinates: SEWorld 3, 8
This location's map marker (M on map) is named Knifepoint Hollow (editor name XPKnifepointHollowMARKER).  The entrance door is NE of the marker, 110 feet away.
1 Aquatic Monster (Dementia) is near the entrance
The following plants can be found near the entrance: 5 Black Tar plants, 3 Putrid Gigantea plants, 2 Fungus Stalk plants, 34 Grummite Egg Mound plants, 2 Mushroom Tree Sapling plants, and 2 Water Root Pod plants

 
Zone 1:
thumb|right|212px|Map of Knifepoint Hollowthumb|right|Dyus
This zone is quite small but presents a few points of interest. As soon as you leave the initial root cave-like part of this level you will encounter a boss-level undead (A). At the end of the main corridor is a locked door, which can only be opened during the related quest; Dyus can be found behind it. Your only way to enter the next zone, Knifepoint Hollow, Chantry, is through door C, since D is blocked by the secret wall at E, which can only be opened from the other side. Before you jump down to reach the door, however, make sure you've looted the chest hidden behind the hunger statue just above.

Occupants:
1 boss-level Bones Undead at location A on map
Dyus (non-respawning) at location B on map
Treasure:
1 Madness Ore Deposit (1-4 Madness Ore; non-respawning) at location M on map
1 Chest
1 Hollowed Stump
The following plants will always be found: 9 Root Stalk plants and 22 Withering Moon plants
Doors and Gates:
There are three doors in/out of this zone
1 door (at Out) leads outside
2 doors (at C and D) lead to the zone Knifepoint Hollow, Chantry
1 Secret Wall at E

 
Zone 2:
thumb|right|384px|Map of Knifepoint Hollow, Chantrythumb|right|The Chantry
Similarly to the first zone, this one is quite linear. After avoiding the spore pod at F, make sure to loot the hollowed Amber stump at H. At the nearby intersect, both ways eventually rejoin but heading right means you will avoid two root worm traps in favor of a Madness Ore deposit (M), a locked minor loot chest and, unfortunately, a knocked-over Scalon Statue trap at G and a Cave In trap at I. After the paths rejoin, enter the large eastern room and claim more Madness Ore from the deposit at M. 

Once you reach door D, activate the press block (cyan dot on map) nearby to open the metal gate at J, which gives you access to a minor loot chest, a bedroll (b), a small collection of common books and bottles of cheap wine, all guarded by a boss-level Zealot (A). The secret wall at K is opened by using the push-block on the northern side of the room. Inside is Gadeneri Ralvel's skull, placed atop the boss chest at B, along with a restoration Urn. Finally, return to Knifepoint Hollow through door D. 

Occupants:
1 boss-level Zealot at location A on map
10 Zealot Enemies (at level 9 or higher, 25% chance Flesh Atronach, otherwise Zealot)
Treasure:
Gadeneri Ralvel's Skull at location B on map
1 boss-level Chest (Zealot variety) at B
1 Hollowed Amber Limb (1-4 Amber; non-respawning) at H
2 Madness Ore Deposits (1-4 Madness Ore; non-respawning) at M
3 Chests (1 locked)
1 Hollowed Stump
3 Urns (Healing)
