==Detailed Walkthrough==
===Downright Demented===
After speaking to [[Shivering:Arctus|Arctus]], you will find out that Dementia's ritual is far less refined than [[Shivering:Ritual of Mania|Mania]]'s. Replacing [[Shivering:Syl|Syl]] entails a simple and brutal assassination; to find out more about her routine, the High Priest recommends you start by questioning her courtiers.
===Converse with the Court===
Ask Syl's maid, [[Shivering:Anya Herrick|Anya Herrick]], about her Duchess and she will inform you that Syl is staying out of sight because she fears [[Shivering:Sheogorath|Sheogorath]] wants her replaced. Raise her disposition to at least 60 and she will offer to assist you by distracting the guards.
Speak with [[Shivering:Kithlan|Kithlan]] and raise his disposition to 60. He'll confess he's also getting tired of Syl, and will give you the key to her wing of the Palace.
===It isn't Paranoia...===
The [[Shivering:Dark Seducer|Dark Seducer guards]] in the [[Shivering:Private Gardens|Private Gardens]] will now attack you on sight. Fight them off and enter the Duchess's quarters to find [[Shivering:Syl (double)|Syl]], lying dead on the bed. Unfortunately, Kithlan will appear and inform you that it is not really Syl, but a mere double. He will then elaborate: Syl has escaped through a network of hidden tunnels beneath the palace.
===...When the Threat is Real===
[[File:SI-quest-Ritual of Dementia 02.jpg|thumb|right|Syl attacks]]
Activate the bust of Sheogorath in the garden and enter [[Shivering:Xirethard|Xirethard]]. The whole dungeon is designed to ambush the unwary assassin, so be aware at all times. In particular, you will be faced with a series of hunger statue traps in a grid pattern - the easiest way to negotiate these is to stick to the walls and look around before crossing an open space. After fighting or sneaking your way past the various guards you should arrive in a room with two Royal Dark Seducers standing around a wrecked table. Deal with them how you like and search for a switch on a pillar to the left of the north wall (if from the entrance, look directly left). This will reveal a secret passageway, continue to follow this path until you locate a large room with two Royal Dark Seducers and Syl, now clad in Mazken armor and wielding the mighty [[Shivering:Nerveshatter|Nerveshatter]]. If you wish to avoid close combat with all three, it is possible to snipe at Syl just after opening the door. Once the Duchess is dead, retrieve her heart and backtrack to the palace.
===Complete the Ritual===
Return to the Sacellum Arden-Sul and activate the altar. Once you have witnessed a bright flash of light, speak to Arctus and [[Shivering:Sheogorath|Sheogorath]], who will appear in the pews to the rear of the Sacellum, to complete your ascension to the throne of [[Shivering:Dementia|Dementia]]. A short while afterwards, [[Shivering:Thadon|Thadon]] will enter and berate Sheogorath for the death of Syl. He will angrily reveal that the Fringe is under attack and express his intention to defect to the [[Shivering:Forces of Order|Forces of Order]]. After he leaves, Sheogorath will present you with the [[Shivering:Ring of Lordship (Dementia)|Ring of Lordship]] and the power to summon a Dark Seducer for 60 seconds a day, along with a [[Shivering:Retaking The Fringe|dire new task]].
==Notes==
*It is not imperative that you access Xirethard through the secret passage - you can also enter through the main entrance located just outside [[Shivering:New Sheoth|New Sheoth]]. The only advantage is you will avoid the above mentioned hunger statue traps.
*There is a hidden chest named the 'Dark Chest of Wonders', located in Xirethard. It contains the [[SI:Ring of the Oceanborn|Ring of the Oceanborn]]
*You can re-enter [[Shivering:Xirethard|Xirethard]] through the secret entrance in The Private Gardens of Dementia at any point after the quest has been completed.
* Upon successfully completing the quest, a trophy of Syl's heart will appear in an alcove in Sheogorath's Palace.
* {{Xbox22}} An [[Shivering:Xbox 360 Achievements#Shivering_Isles_Achievements|achievement]] will be unlocked upon completing this quest. A separate achievement is also available for the Ritual of Mania.
==Bugs==
{{Bug|If you kill Syl before disposing of her Dark Seducer bodyguard, you will receive a 1000 gold bounty for murder, and your Murders statistic will increase if you kill her afterwards.|USIP}}
{{Bug|If you use the Staff of Worms on Syl's double's body and kill it, you will get the quest update telling you to take her heart out.|USIP}}
{{Bug|Upon completion of this quest, there is a chance of the game freezing when Thadon comes in. You can still look around and enter the pause menu, but Thadon never appears.}}

|5||To learn more about Syl's routine, I should begin by asking around New Sheoth about Syl to determine the best way to get close enough to kill her.
|10||I've discovered that Syl tends to stay out of public sight, and lets members of her court perform her day-to-day needs. It was suggested I seek out Anya Herrick, her Courtier and Kithlan, her Steward for more information. Perhaps if I can convince them to see things my way, I'll get some help from them.
|15||I've informed Anya Herrick of my plans to replace Syl. She seems somewhat hesitant, but claims she will create a distraction and rid the interior of the Dementia wing of the Palace of its Elite Dark Seducers.

|22||I've entered Syl's Private Chambers. I now need to locate Syl herself and put an end to her reign as Duchess of Dementia.
|25||I've been duped! The woman in Syl's bed was merely a decoy. Kithlan has told me that Syl must have used her escape tunnel to make good her escape from the Palace. I should immediately pursue Syl before she gets away.
|28||I have discovered the secret door Kithlan described. I should activate the hidden switch and proceed inside in pursuit of Syl.
