Quick Links
The Shivering Isles DLCis one of the most unusual locations you’ll explore inOblivion Remastered,boasting several bizarre adventures, including a few unmarked quests. One such unmarked quest involved the ghosts on the Hill of Suicides, a morbid spot located directly in the center of the Shivering Isles near the border between Mania and Dementia.
However, if you speak to the residents of the Shivering Isles, particularly Erver Devani in Deepwallow, you’ll learn more about how to complete this unmarked task. Devani explains that the ghosts on the Hill of Suicides are doomed to wander the hill forever unless their remains are returned to them; that’s where you come in.
