Shavali the Befouled

Shavali the Befouled is a corrupted nereid who can be found in the caverns below the Cicatrice ruins. Due to her intimate connection to the oasis, the waters gained healing qualities. However, when the town's survivors locked themselves in the caverns during the Knahaten Flu the waters became tainted with the plague and in turn changed Shavali. Now the waters produce noxious fumes and the corpses of dead rise as Blighted undead.

Skills and Abilities

She fights the same way as a standard nereid, but will be accompanied by risen Blighted Bloodcleavers, and will revive some more as her health goes down.

Frost Bolt

The nereid throws a ball of ice at the player as a basic ranged attack. This attack does minor frost damage. It can be cast while silent.

Icy Geyser

The nereid causes a jet of water to appear beneath the player's feet, doing moderate frost damage. Move out of the red circle to avoid this. The nereid can attempt this ability once every eight seconds, and can be cast while silent.

Hurricane

The nereid creates a swirling vortex around itself, doing moderate frost damage over time to all enemies standing within the doughnut-shaped red area (i.e., only the area between the two concentric red circles actually does damage). This spell can be interrupted to set the nereid off balance, or simply avoided. It can be cast while silent.

Quest-Related Events

While you are gathering an Arkay's Lash blossom from the glade to the west of the ruins, Shavali will burst out of the nearby pool.

Shavali the Befouled: "How dare you intrude upon my oasis? Leave this place! Now!"

Before diving back down.

Later on after collecting Nikussha's Research Notes, you will learn that the Argonian's attempts to cure the disease instead tainted the water and the nereid in turn. Iokkas will ask that you kill Shavali to remove the corruption and allow the oasis to begin to heal.

You can then enter the central chamber where Shavali will be floating over a putrid pool filled with bones and bodies.

Shavali the Befouled: "You corrupted me. Changed me. And now … now I am this."

Shavali the Befouled: "Why did you have to come? Why did you make me like this?"

When she notices you, Shavali will immediately attack.

Shavali the Befouled: "No! I won't let anyone corrupt this oasis! Not again!"

Shavali the Befouled: "Why couldn't you leave me be? Monsters! Defilers!"

As she dies, Shavali will have a final question on her lips.

Shavali the Befouled: "I just wanted to heal them. Why … why couldn't I heal them?"
