I'm trying to get out of the Sidways Caves and I'm stumped, any help out there? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.11.30.156 (talk • contribs).

Where exactly are you having a problem? Which zone are you in? I don't remember anything tricky in Sideways Cave, so without a bit more information on what the problem is I can't really help. --Nephele^Talk 21:34, 3 May 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Nature of the Tablets?

Could the tablets be a reference to Umaril? He did strike an alliance with Meridia, and IS an Ayleid... Kurai-sama 12:56, May 20 2007 (GMT +3)

[edit] upper region of lake

It is possible to get to the upper region of the lake surrounding the edges using the paintbrush-hanging-in-air trick. But it is a lot of work and there is no secret stash up there. There is a pretty waterfall. There is an Ayelid container hidden behind a wall near one of the tablets.

(Not sure where in the discussion I should put this, or how relevent it might be for other players, but . . .) FYI, my character got stuck on top of the humped log at the extreme NW section of zone 2, right where the cask is (green dot on map, near the F - location of first tablet). It only happened once, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. My character could look around, cast spells, etc. but couldn't move at all. Everything seemed normal, too. I'd tried to get to the upper level by jumping from the log to the ruined supports and then up to the top and had never gotten stuck before, but this one time he became completely immobile. I had to restart the game and go through the whole cave again. Don't know if it matters,but I'm on a PS3. 204.108.237.194 14:23, 23 April 2009 (EDT) Marcus

[edit] Curious...

Abagarlas appears to be very ancient; perhaps one the most ancient Ayleid ruins in all Cyrodiil.

I am curious what about the ruins make it ancient? Just because it is destroyed and buried does not mean it is ancient. That simply means it was destroyed and buried, eh? The page [Aylied tablets] even says that it was destroyed and eventualy buried by Meridia in her rage. Unless there is some other source saying that it is an old ruin then great but just because it looks all messed up does not mean it is old. I figured I would point that out. --W27Y 08:36, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Treasure

In the Lost Abagarlas zone, instead of potions I found one Rusty Iron Shortsword, one Rusty Iron Mace, and two Rusty Iron Daggers among the bedrolls. -- --Mebestien 06:28, 25 October 2008 (EDT)

in the throne room y found a ayleid reliquary that needs a key to be opened i search everyway but there isn't one 190.136.132.230 19:30, 27 May 2009 (EDT) 08:38, 27 may 2009. (EDT)

In the throne room there is only one chest: a boss chest which is actually an Ayleid Cask. It will probably locked; but does not require a key. Maybe you have a mod installed that changes this. --SerCenKing ^Talk 15:11, 28 May 2009 (EDT)

yes i have the ooo, but thanks for answer me i will ask around and if i findout any thing i'll tell —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.82.88.38 (talk • contribs).

If it's the one among the roots in the alcove, it's added by OOO. There is a key, but it's not in the cave. You have to do the Thieves Guild questline to find the key. --Gaebrial 04:39, 29 May 2009 (EDT)

it is between the bedrols on the corner in the throne room(by the way the key you mention has a name??)

[edit] Skeletons

In zone 1 there is one skeleton in the room just south of the door to zone two. Along with the leather shield there was a rusty iron dagger laying next to him.

Also in zone 1 are eight skeletons in a pile around the chest. There is a bit of loose gold around and under the skeletons (couldn't get it all so I don't have a count). The pile also has the fur shield and iron shield mentioned plus a rusty war axe and a rusty iron shortsword.

Zone 1 also has a deer with venison.

In zone 2 there was one skeleton but nothing that I saw around it.

Also in zone 2 it should be noted the the door to zone 3 that is closer to the entrance from zone 1 can only be accessed from zone 3 (or maybe with some serious acrobatics).

In zone 3 there are six skeletons. Again I did not find anything along side them.

All these skeletons contain bonemeal (if you happen to need some... or I guess even if you don't).

I also found the 2 rusty iron daggers, a rusty iron shortsword, and a rusty iron mace along side the bedrolls.
