The stronghold has many areas , but only four are accessible from the exterior , two of which contain the Dagoth cup , and the Weepings . However , the Shadow Shield lies deep within the underground tunnels of Kogoruhn . The Corprus Weepings and the House Dagoth cup can easily be found in the Dome of Pollock ' s Eve . The Shield is located in the Bleeding Heart caverns , under Kogoruhn . The whole area is guarded by many Dagoths and Ash Creatures . After retrieving the shield , the Nerevarine must return to Sul - Matuul to complete the task . The Third Trial .
