Rebuilding the Gatekeeper In the previous quest the Hero fought off an attempted invasion of The Fringe by the Forces of Order . Sheogorath wanted to reinforce his defenses , so he sends them to Relmyna Verenim to build a new Gatekeeper . Walkthrough . Xaselm . Fight through the creepy ruins of Xaselm , following the red arrows . Watch for undead and Failed Experiment s . Once you get to the Sanctum of Vivisection , they will find Relmyna down here , torturing people to death . One can help her by pressing the buttons next to the captives ' cages . One will send a rain of darts into a defenseless NPC , another opens a trap door underneath the captive . If a captive dies , Relmyna will eventually bring him or her back to life . Don ' t fire arrows or spells at the captives , Relmyna will immediately call the Hero a murderer , and attack them . Talk to Relmyna , she recognizes them as the adventurer who slew her Gatekeeper . The ensuing conversation is lengthy and offers a choice of being rude or friendly , but it doesn ' t really matter what is chosen to say . In the end , Relmyna will give them a key to the Gardens of Flesh and Bone and tell them to get Blood Liqueur , Osseous Marrow , Dermis Membrane , and Essence of Breath . If objecting to Relmyna torturing people to death , it ' s possible to speak to her about it . She will say that Sheogorath sanctions her experiments , and that she brings " the worthy ones " back to life . If the Hero continue to protest , she will offer to set them free in exchange for their participation . If agreeing , she will cast the spell Exalted Pain on them , which drains nearly every attribute the hero have , including health . This might kill them outright and others may survive but will find some attributes damaged permanently , however all damaged attributes can be restored at an altar . The extent of the damage is presumably based on game difficulty and character level . If one submits to Exalted Pain , speak to her afterwards and she will give the Hero a pair of enchanted handcuffs called the Manacles of Pain . Gardens of Flesh and Bone . Follow the red arrow out to the Realm of Sheogorath . The Gardens of Flesh and Bone are in the northwest portion of the Fringe , the counterpoint to Xeddefen . The Gardens are heavily trapped so watch for falling ceilings , giant shooting thorns and twisted roots that can be opened by a green switch to the side . This is a large dungeon , but blockages of twisted roots will help direct you through it . The map and red / green arrows are also very useful . This portion of the quest is a straightforward search for four items . The Dermis Membrane and the Osseous Marrow are located on the Conservatorium Corpusculum level . The Caverns of Susurration are a complex web of caves that double back on each other so often that the green arrow is useless . It ' s best to save at the entrance because you could get lost here . Head downward when possible , and follow the green - tinted gusts of wind with an eerie breathing sound that blow through the caverns . They are all sweeping toward the Essence of Breath . Activate the Essence once to gather all of the Breath and then again to take it . The final ingredient - Blood Liqueur - can be found in the Natatorium of Wound Bled Tears . This is an especially dangerous section . Falling ceilings are abundant - be careful when pushing buttons to open doors . Also , when entering the room with the chest on the altar , make sure to check underneath the chest as there is a third button which opens the door needed to go through . The Blood Liqueur can be found by activating the spring of blood in the blood - filled room . Xaselm . Head back to Relmyna to help build the new Gatekeeper . Relmyna has created versions of each appendage and the Hero get to decide which one goes where . Follow the marker and go to the room with the hanging body organs . The names of the parts are fairly self - explanatory . Adding that part of the body will allow them to get a Gatekeeper ' s Gift when they later activate the live Gatekeeper . The Fringe . Once the bodyparts have been chosen for the Gatekeeper , accompany Relmyna to the Fringe . Once at the statue of Sheogorath that stands in front of the Gates of Madness , speak to Relmyna again . She will begin the ceremony and a pool of light will open in the ground . Toss all of the ingredients collected into the pool by activating it . Relmyna will helpfully remind them over and over again if some are still missing . She will continue to chant her summon spell on while adding the body parts . Once the ceremony is over , a new Gatekeeper will be stomping around the Gates . Waiting a few seconds before leaving they will see a group of Knights of Order appear who will attack the Gatekeeper . Relmyna will also grant the Greater Power Summon Flesh Atronach to the Hero . If you try to talk to the gatekeeper , it will bestow a Greater power from one of its body parts . You can only have one Greater Power from the gatekeeper . Go back and tell Sheogorath and this will conclude the current quest and begin the next : The Helpless Army .
