Long Walkthrough

At any time after reaching 3rd Level, enter the Throne Room in Daggerfall Castle and speak with Queen Aubk-i. She will express concern over King Gothryd's grandmother, Nulfaga, and ask you to check on her at Shedungent castle in the Wrothgarian Mountains. You should be given about 150 days to complete the quest.

Upon arriving at Shedungent, enter the castle. If you check your automap, you will see a secret door directly in front of you at the T-intersection. Your destination is on the other side of that door.

Quick Route: click on the green dragon banner next to the door and respond with "shut up" to open the door.

Alternative Quick Route: successfully cast "Open" on the hidden door to open it.

Long Route: go west at the T-intersection. Follow the corridor as it goes up some stairs (north, south and west), Go left (south) at the top of the stairs and right (west) at the T-intersection. Go left (south) through the door as the corridor ends (do not go through the door in front of you) and down the stairs (east). Go north through the door at the end of this passage. Pass two corridors on the left (west) and go through the door at the end of your corridor. To your left, on the north wall of the corridor, will be a door. Go through it, go west and then north at the first intersection. Cross the rope bridge (still going north) and through the door just north of it. Go east and then south at the end of this passage. Go up the ramp and follow the passage east until it ends. Go south until you reach the Throne Room. If the portcullis is down, there is a lever in a side room in this passageway that will open it.

There will be two enemies in the Throne Room. Once you have dealt with them, go up either set of stairs to find Nulfaga at the top. Activate her to find out that she is not quite sane. Activate the lich statue near the south door (respond "shut up") to open the door and the dungeon exit will be directly in front of you.

Return to Aubk-i with your report. She will reward you with a piece of enchanted jewelry.

Notes
 * 1) Aubk-i should tell you what your reward will be before you accept the quest. If you save the game before activating her, you can reload until she offers an item that you want.
 * 2) This quest is optional, but completing it will make a later required quest (Medora's Freedom) a bit easier.
