Shalidor's labyrinth in the famous RPG game Skyrim is a hidden location, the entrance to which is not displayed on the map. The dungeon is of interest primarily for the characters of the magician specialization, because there are staves and books with new spells. For other archetypes, the territory of the labyrinth is recommended for study for the sake of several subjects and general interest.
Name and origin
Shalidor's Labyrinth was named after the incredibly powerful eponymous mage from the College of Winterhold. He belonged to the flow of progressive sorcerers who put the development and accumulation of new knowledge above all else. It was he who became the author of the idea of building a maze, which later began to bear his name. In ancient times, the building played the role of a test for all applicants who wanted to get into the then magnificent city of Bromunar. In the universe of the game, it is called the Labyrinthium, and it contains a hidden entrance to the architectural invention of Shalidor.
Entrance and description of the staves
To find the entrance to the labyrinth of Shalidor, using the card is useless, because it is not marked there. It is necessary to approach the Nordic ruins of the Labyrinthium from the east side and run along. Only there will the player be able to find the necessary door. Near her will be a corpse with a note and four wands, which allow you to learn four new spells. The staff with the call of magic light belongs to the school "Change." The “rod of fear” is responsible for the “Illusions”; “Destruction” arises when using guns with fiery arrows. The last staff is the rejection, which is responsible for the element of "Restoration". A note on the corpse states that there are two entrances to the location, but there is only one exit. This means that you will have to use wands in pairs. The elements should be used "Change" with "Destruction" in turn at one door, and the second should use the school of "Illusion" and then "Recovery". Then the character will be able to find a way out of the location.
Short walkthrough
Shalidor's Maze only seems like a difficult place with a bunch of riddles. In fact, everything is simple - on closed doors it will be necessary to use the staves in the above order, so that they open the passage further. The first will be “Change” followed by “Destruction” and so on. At the end of the user’s maze, a clash awaits with a nap and two atrons. The battle promises to be difficult, and therefore it is worthwhile to preserve and prepare for it first. As a prize, the user will be able to study the Scream “Fright” on the wall at the far end. Also, all the people who decided to explore the labyrinth of Shalidor in Skyrim should climb up to the place where four wands were found. If you reach the last step and walk along the parapet, you can find an interesting chest. There you will find items for the current level of the hero, as well as gold and various weapons. For this, each player should explore the maze on their own.
Known bugs and their solution
Shalidor's labyrinth in Skyrim, like many other locations, contains a large number of errors. The first one can be encountered already at the entrance, since the corpse may not have a note using staves. To fix this, you have to load the last save. Otherwise, this problem cannot be fixed. Another known problem is the inability to teleport in the opposite direction during the battle with a nap, if the enemy could not be killed with one blow. It is better to take a less powerful weapon or use ordinary spells at the beginning of the battle. If you entered the maze with satellites, then you should be prepared for the fact that they will refuse to leave it. This can be solved by a command through the moveto player console or by simple teleportation to any place on the map. The satellite should automatically go after the main character and appear nearby.
