On the body of the Heretic, Alice finds an object called the “Fork of Horripilation”. Honestly, hasn’t anybody seen the Tim Burton movie? Alice is pretty handy with weapons now.
Rather foolishly the Heretic tries to magic Alice to death, which ends badly for him.
Alone, she heads along Overlook Road until she comes across a campsite belonging to a blue-robed wizard who calls himself a Heretic. Alice wishes him luck, but he’s already gone. Jayred hurtles off into the wilderness to hunt a new variety of creatures with all-new bones to collect. You know, I think that Mania was definitely the better choice. The other option, to the south, is to head into Dementia and take the Low Road past the Hill of Suicides. Staying on the north here in Mania, we can take Overlook Road past the Laughing Coast. Looking at the map, there are two ways to cross the Isles to Sheogorath’s palace in New Sheoth. The Gate of Mania gives Alice a magical blessing as she passes through it – the ability to cast the Frenzy spell, aggravating NPCs so that they attack each other.

It’s a bright, fungal place full of rude growth and colour. Thank goodness we managed to kill the Gatekeeper rather than hanging around waiting for Sheogorath to drive us mad before we were allowed past this wall, thinks Alice, blithely opening the door to Mania. Other games give you a moral compass marked Good/Evil or Paragon/Renegade, but only The Shivering Isles makes you pick between ‘Frenzied Hyperactivity’ and ‘A Disoriented Decline Of General Cognitive Ability’. Whichever door you choose will apparently change you forever, and throughout The Shivering Isles we’ll come across more of these choices between those two options. One of them opens the door to the half of the Isles called Mania, while the other leads to Dementia. Although it’s still possible this could all turn out to be a dream and I’ll wake up and find out I’m disembowelling my pillow rather than up to my gauntlets in Gatekeeper guts, fishing around for the keys to the Gates of Madness that have been stitched into his innards. It is a little bit anticlimactic, but I suppose at least the whole thing didn’t turn out to be a dream like these things usually do when Alice is involved. Then Alice puts two arrows into the giant and he drops. He should thank me.Īs the dramatically appropriate rain continues, Alice and Jayred sneak towards the Gatekeeper, somehow not making a sound in full armour. Honestly, shooting the Gatekeeper with these will basically be a family reunion. That dead Grummite had a bow, so we take it, stock up on arrows that Jayred carves out of the bones of the Gatekeeper’s dead brother, and then dip them in the handkerchief soaked in his mother’s poisonous tears. It’s time to dress up like the girl in that daft Tim Burton movie. Even more fortunately, it happens to be a perfect fit. Fortunately that sword we looted from the dead adventurer came with a set of steel full plate armour.

If I’m about to face the Gatekeeper with an ally as accurate as Jayred covering my back, I’ll need better armour than this blue dress, even if it is a rather pretty one I had to install a user-made mod to get. Jayred isn’t actually as good a shot as you might expect, because one of his arrows goes straight through Alice. Fearing that he might be about to recite some poetry at her like animal people usually do, Alice hacks off his head while her friend Jayred pincushions him with arrows. That doesn’t help this particular Grummite, however. Water strengthens these frog-men, so when it’s raining they regenerate health even while on land. We pinch those bones as it begins to rain, which is very symbolic of something or other.Īs rain pours down on the Isles, an amphibious Grummite crawls out of his pond. Lying in the grass are the bones of one of the Gatekeeper’s brothers. Oh, of course, bones! That’s what we’re here for. Between Jayred the hunter’s bow and the “I can’t believe it’s not Vorpal” sword Alice looted from the adventurers killed by the Gatekeeper back in part one, the skeletons crumble back into bones within seconds. With a name like the Garden of Flesh and Bone it was always going to be skeletons, unless it was zombies. Inside the Garden of Flesh and Bone, skeletons attack.
It’s a odd place, even here on its outskirts where visitors who aren’t quite crazy enough to be allowed in straight away wait their turn – or alternatively plot to murder the Gatekeeper and sneak in. An add-on for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, this is the domain of Sheogorath, god of madness. In part one of this game diary, Alice got tired of spending her holidays in Wonderland and Looking-Glass Land and wherever she went in those American McGee games and decided to visit the Shivering Isles.
