Paradise (Quest)

Overview

 * Quest giver: Martin

Background
With all four items, the Great Sigil Stone from the Great Gate of Bruma, the Great Welkynd Stone from Miscarcand, the Armor of Tiber Septim from Sancre Tor, and a Daedric artifact, Martin will open the gate to Mankar Camoran's Paradise, Gaiar Alata.

Walkthrough
Be sure to have stocked up on Healing potions (10-20) - the final boss fight is a bit challenging for some character builds.

Inside Mankar Camoran's Paradise (Gaiar Alata), you'll find some ancient representation of Tamriel and a few Daedra lying about. Slay them, and then proceed. You cannot reach Camoran's palace, Carac Agaialor, without leaving the Savage Garden. However, you can't leave the Savage Garden without the Bands of the Chosen.

You'll soon be confronted by a dremora named Kathutet. You can either kill him or serve him to obtain the Bands of the Chosen. If you serve him, he'll ask you to release the xivilai Anaxes. Anaxes is a xivilai who has tortured the Ascended Immortals, but got trapped by the Immortals in a cave. If you release him, you'll complete the quest and receive the Bands of the Chosen. From there, you can enter the Forgotten Grotto, with a catch. You can't exit the Forgotten Grotto with the Bands of the Chosen on you and you can't remove them yourself.

Once in the Grotto, a Mythic Dawn high elf named Eldamil, responsible for opening the Great Gate in Kvatch, will confront you and inform you that he has changed his mind after seeing this "paradise." If you agree to aid Eldamil, he will remove the Bands of the Chosen. Enter the cage as Eldamil instructs and you'll be transported to the other side. Once there, slay any Daedra in your way and meet up with Eldamil again. Make your way to Camoran's palace.

You'll be confronted with Ruma and Raven Camoran. They will escort you to their father, Mankar Camoran. Once the fight begins, immediately kill Raven and Ruma first. Loot their bodies quickly before they respawn. I believe Raven carries the Mundane Ring (50% Magic Resistance, 35% Spell Reflection - a crazily powerful ring), if not, try to obtain one before this fight. The Mundane Ring makes Camoran sort of a joke considering he's a spellcaster. If you don't have the ring, you're probably going to have to potion spam like crazy in order to keep yourself alive. However, focus on Camoran, use poisons of Silence if you have them, and this fight should go smoothly. Once he's dead, loot the bodies, and grab the Amulet of Kings.

Alternative to kill Mankar
Try poisoining your weapon with a drain magicka poison. I had a drain Magicka 45pts and it killed him in a 4 or 5 hits.
