Elder Scrolls Forum: Horror Mod Walkthrough

This isn't a detailed walkthrough, but it might help you with some of the more difficult parts.

*--Escaping the Haunted Mansion--*

In order to leave the haunted mansion, you need a shrinking potion. It's in a secret room located up in the library.

Directions:

1. When you arrive at the mansion, play the piano to make the corpse drop down at the top of the stairs. Take the key off his body and head through the door below you.

2. Go to the very end of the hall and through the door on the right with a key. Read the book and note if you want, then grab the key off the table. Head back to the stairs in the previous room and enter the top floor. Head to the next area, "lonely room."

3. Pass through here and enter the messed-up library. Enter the door to the left(?) and descend into the small storage room. Check the bloody splatter to find a key. This whole place is taken from the book, "Axe Man."

4. Head back up the stairs and use the key to travel to the Bell Tower. Ring the bell.

5. Head back down and check the fireplace...you'll find that the fire is gone and a door has appeared. Head through. You will will now appear in a Cage. You will see a table, a crow, and various other things in the room. The key on the table will unlock the cage.

Check to the right of you, and you will see a bunch of potions. Drink the green potion for telekinesis, and grab the key off the table. Use it to unlock the door below you.

6. Next you need to grab the potion off the chelf to the right. This is the potion that will make you small enough to leave through the mansion door. In order to escape the room, turn the wheel to the cage and the head of the statue on the wall will move.

7. Beneath the Statue head, will be three buttons. Two lead to a grisly death, one opens a door back to the Library. Figure it out yourself.

8. Now that you have the resizing potion, you can use it to leave the mansion anytime you want. Be warned, if you take on the Bhaal Moloch quest...there's a chance that you will lose this item.

*--Main Quest--*

1. Go to Suran, read the papers you find hanging at the entrances or around town to learn of the cave to the South east. If you enter the Inn, you can rest for a dream sequence.

Head up to the cave and talking with the Imperial Knight Camus. He will tell you about the dangers of the cave, and a reward offered by the Empire to whomever can solve the mystery.

Take the key and enter the dungeon.

2. Make sure you have a good number of lanterns and head for the second floor. When you reach a junction, move the boulder to the right to find the butcher:

Cavern of the dead
|
Halls of the Sinners -- Lower depths --> Butcher

Kill the butcher and read the journal entry as well as the note on his body.

3. When you reach the Pit of Agony, you will meet Damascus...an Angel who fell in battle long ago. He and his companions were imprisoned within Nanorian stones scattered about the dungeon...and if you find them all, they will aid you against Lucifier, the Dark Prince.
__
Nanorian stone locations:

Nanorian stone of Burning -- Located in Crypt of memories(Torture demons nest) (also look for Claire's ashes nearby)
Nanorian stone of Skulls -- Located in Halls of the sinner(need bone key)
Nanorian stone of Terror -- Located on a floating platform over a pit of Giant one-hit kill spiders.(heavy lag, sorry)
Nanorian stone of Burden --Located in Cavern of the dead(need key)
Nanorian stone of Blood -- Located in Blood Dwlling(needed to escape)
Nanorian stone of Agony -- Located in Oblivion, Adramelech's tomb

4. To get to the Insanity cradle, go to the butchery and head up the flight of stairs just ahead. In the room with the bloody closet, check the shelf nearby and grab the key hidden under a skull. Go down and unlock the closer marked "666" to find a Fire Eye. Take this eye down into the Troll lair and unlock the chest behind the transparent demon. Inside, you will find a key that will unlock the Bloody Closet. Before you leave, be sure to kill the demon...he has a Burden key on him that will unlock the chest in Cavern of the dead that holds the heavy-as-hell burden stone.

When you return to the Butchery, check the closet to find the Cup of passage which you can drink(try equipping it) to warp to the Insanity cradle. From there, you can meet the mad Orc...who has also become corrupted like the Butcher. When your done with him, whether you run or kill him...head down to the Blood dwelling where the Blood stone is located. You need the stone to leave.

5. The stone of Agony is the toughest to obtain. You must travel through Oblivion, probably the most god forsake place in the game. The monsters are tough, and running is an excellent option. Especially when dealing with Greater Dremora. Do not pass the two Statues in Oblivion while armed, or they will attack. Just unequip your weapon. Once you've completed the quest involving Zen, continue deeper into the depths to find the Tomb of Adramelech.

Approach the Altar and kill the Demon God. Once he is dead, you can climb the stairs behind his altar to find the Stone of Agony. While your up there, you can also snatch the Warrior's Gage...an excellent Gauntlet which enhances your strength quite a bit.

6. Once you arrive in Black Hill, head to the center of town where you will find the Gallow.

Talk to Clive and learn of his fate. Learn of the Prison Warden and his dark dungeon...then say goodbye to Clive as he plummets into darkness. Check the bucket to find what's left of his body, as well as a key to the water well. Head down and go to the upper right side of the sewer. Jump into the water and swim through the grate to reach the next area. From here, head NE again to find a door underwater. Drop down onto the path and head through another ladder. Run through the hallway and into the next...when a set of Portcullis fall down upon your path...head back the way you came to find the exit gone.

There is a secret passageway hidden in the darkness along the wall, so check it. Run down the hall and through the webs as several portcullis drop down behind you. Continue down the long tunnel until you reach the next area of the sewer, the Prison entrance.

Fight through robot spiders and evil dwemer creations, eventually you will find a large Portcullis blocking the entrance to the prison. To unlock it, you must find *four* special keys. Big red star-like keys. They are held by monsters within this area. One is held by the demon assassin, who is linked to the Butcher and mad orc...another is held by the transparent spider and the third is found on the ground next to an enormous dwemer boss. The last is held by Ozarus, Lucifier's pet dragon. It can be found by passing through a grate near a pair of zombies. You'll hear a loud roar. The key to his lair can be found in the room behind the demon assassin.

Once you obtain all the keys, enter the prison and make your way past several enemies.

Travel through the stomache of an unknown monster and enter the Lair of "Raging Death." You don't have to kill this dragon, he's optional...but grab the big key found at the center of the room. Head back to the previous chamber(living dungeon) and enter the Inferno room. Walk cautiously past the burning pit and prepare for the Torture chamber where you will fight three tough dwemer demons. Avoid their hands! <_<

To the right of the entrance is a door that you can move to find a key. Continue on past the twisted bodies and swaying cages to find the Warden's chamber. Kill the warden to pick up another key, and be sure to check the book behind him. It's the Necromicon...which might explain what happened to the jail.

Look under the stairs to find a table with a small locked chest. Use the key to open the chest and take the Dock Key. A gate will appear above you, which you can take back to Black Hill. Do whatever needs to be done, and head for the Docks. Use the key to enter and talk to the Grim Reaper.

7. Once you have cross the ocean of blood and arrived at the floating island, head to the Cathedral to receive a warning. If you do not have the Nanorian stones, it's advised that you do not proceed...'lest your in for a big fight.

8. With or without the Nanorian stones, head inside to find a beautiful angel. She will try to turn you away, and tell you to leave the dungeon...go ahead and attack her when prompted.

Doing so will reveal her true nature, and the twisted arena where you will fight to the death. If you collected the Nanorian stones, the angels will be there by your side to help you. Only the angels within the stones you found will appear.

Lucifier is accompanied by 6 "Darkness" monsters which are easily killable. Once they are gone, allow your angel companions to attack Lucifier with everything they have. He has 25,000 HP...so they should take a good chunk out of his health. Eventually, they will all die and you will find yourself toe-to-toe with the Black Winged Angel.

Use speed and the pillars to your advantage, dodging his powerful magic the best you can. Run forward and slash him from time to time using one of the strong swords you obtained or enchanted within the dungeon.

When he draws his flaming sword, *run* like Hell...because it will kill you easily. When he sheaths it, resume your battle.

Eventually he will fall back into the depths of Oblivion, leaving you to walk away with your life. As you leave, you will receive a message telling you to return and talk with Camus in Suran.

9. In Suran, you will find Demons attacking the town. They will murder the guards and you will have to fight them or run.
Talk to Camus at the center of town and take the strange rock he gives you. With the rock in hand, return to the Dark Cathedral and approach the back of the chamber. As you near, a strange portal will open...beaconing you to a mysterious temple. There, you will meet a Great Sage who will reveal your purpose in the dungeon. He will ask you to enter the "Great Nanorian Stone" and defeat this powerful new foe.

When he is gone, prepare yourself and enter the final sanctuary, where the last great battle will take place. Don't enter unprepared.

The rest...is up to you.

Some bosses can't be beaten normally, so here's a walkthrough for them:

Hell Racer:

Not really a boss, but I made him harder in the patch. He now has a lot more Health, but should die pretty fast if you hit him with Frost attacks. Not tested, but should work. If it doesn't, run like heck. :P

Lucifuges:

This boss is invincible. If you read up on him in mythology, you would know that he hates the light. Around his lair you will find eight large chests, in each...you will find a Torch. He has 8,000+ HP, and each Torch takes off 1,000 when you plant them in the correct spot within the room.

The Beginning --> "Birth"
Age of Mortality --> "Growth"
Decline into Madness --> "Disease"
Development of Being --> "Thought"
Acceptance --> "Love"
The Grinning Skull --> "Death"
Decay --> "Bone"
Realization --> "Gone"

Once each Torch has been planted in the correct spot, smack Lucifuges once or twice with a good weapon to kill him.

Ancient Dwemer Machine:

This is a no-brainer. When William disappears, just kill everything you see. The Dwemer spider will take out the machine's feet, the steam centurians for the arms, and the Fabricant will remove the Chest Armor. Once the Chest is gone, you will see the Heart of the machine. Aim slightly below the heart to do damage(urk, annoying problem) and destroy it. It only has 500 health, some of which can be depleted if you destroy the chest first. The blasts from the other parts will do damage to it. When it has disappeared, the room will fade. You will then face the creature that manipulated Williams dreams and lived within the machine.

Bhaal Moloch:

A warning, this is a very difficult boss...especially without the patch. Fight him at your own risk. You cannot return to his realm if you do not beat him. When you enter his chamber, grab the Ring you see floating in the air to start the battle.

You will be Fighting the Bull God, whose enormous eye can be seen above you. He will cheaply attack you from out of nowhere, bombing you with firey blasts. You will notice a strange pot on the ground in front of you. If you've been to the mansion(and you should have!) and obtained the Resize Potion, drop it into the pot. This is where newborns and the like would be fed...so when he swallows the potion, he will shrink down to a smaller size. He is still a formidable opponent and there is little room to fight...so beware. After the battle, you will obtain the mighty Heaven-and-Hell Ring. It has some excellent effects, but some bad ones as well. (cough...heaven and hell)

There's a lot more, but I'll stop there.
