The Cold Flame of Agnon Walkthrough

1 Head to Cylarne
The Cold Flame of Agnon - Step 1 - Head to Cylarne
Travel to Cylarne to learn more about how to obtain the Flame of Agnon. Once you arrive there, you'll be met with two opposing sides; the Dark Seducers and the Golden Saints, fighting for the flame.

You may speak to the guards at each gate and tell them that Sheogorath sent you to pass through to each encampment.
2 Choose a Side
The Cold Flame of Agnon - Step 2 - Choose a Side
You must now choose to help either the Dark Seducers or the Golden Saints in claiming the altars. Talk to Ulfri for the Dark Seducers or Kaneh for the Golden Saints and tell them you'll help them defeat the opposing side.

You may speak to both of them before making your decision. This also goes into play when preparing for the battle in the next step.
3 Prepare Battle Plans
The Cold Flame of Agnon - Step 3 - Prepare Battle Plans
Now that you have chosen a side, you can talk to the respective commander to prepare battle plans. The battle can happen in a number of ways and in two different locations depending on what you do during this step. No matter the scenario, the Dark Seducers will always be the one defending against the Golden Saints

Scenario 1: You let both commanders carry out their original plans and fight at the entrance without any suggestion or deception from you.

Scenario 2: You can tell the Golden Saints to attack through the Underdeep which will have weak defenses according to a scouting report.

Scenario 3: You can deceive the Dark Seducers to defend the Underdeep and attack through the front gates with the Golden Saints.

Scenario 4: You can deceive the Golden Saints to attack through the Underdeep and plan an ambush with the Dark Seducers there.

Before the battle, you'll be able to freely talk to each commander. You can use this time to scout and/or deceive each side to achieve the victory you want.
4 Defeat the Opposing Army
The Cold Flame of Agnon - Step 4 - Defeat Opposing Army
You can start the battle by talking to the commander you want to help and selecting the option to help them. This immediately starts the fight with the Golden Saints attacking the Dark Seducers base.

Defeat the enemy commander along with the soldiers to complete this step.
5 Head to the Altar of Despair
The Cold Flame of Agnon - Step 5 - Head to the Altar of Despair
After the battle, the commander you helped will ask you to go with her to the Altar of Despair where she will sacrifice herself to ignite the altar. Head to the altar and witness the event.
6 Claim the Flame of Agnon
The Cold Flame of Agnon - Step 6 - Claim the Flame of Agnon
After the commander sacrifices herself, head back to the entrance of Cylarne and you'll find the Flame of Agnon burning in its chamber. Step into the flame to claim the Flame of Agnon for yourself.
7 Light the Torch for Mania or Dementia
The Cold Flame of Agnon - Step 7 - Light the Torch for Mania or Dementia
Your character will be glowing green after stepping into the flame, head back to New Sheoth and visit the Sacellum Arden-Sul. You'll be met by two priests who will give you the option to light either the torch for Mania or for Dementia.

Lighting the torch for Mania will reward you with the Raiment of Arden-Sul while lighting the torch for Dementia will reward you with the Raiment of Intrigue.
