"Close the Portal" is a quest objective/task in the quest Long Lost Lore in The Elder Scrolls Online
Background[edit]
Haskill said I can earn the books I seek only if I can close the portal he has opening.
Quest[edit]
Location[edit]
Cheesemonger's Hollow - Shivering Isles (Oblivion)
Walkthrough[edit]
Turn around. You will see a number of Scamps start appearing from the daedric portal. Start attacking them immediately. There are only two of them, which makes things fairly simple. Both favor ranged attacks. Watch out for the Flame wave or the Fire Rune that they like to cast. Stay away from Fire Spells as they do not do much damage. A Fire Staff can still do some damage. Just keep on the move and you should little trouble at range. If you get in close it should be a quick fight as scamps aren't that tough.
With the scamps dealt with, you need to attend to the portal. Just approach it and interact with it. It will narrow down to a slim white portal next. From it Dremora Churl will appear. He is like a more aggressive Soldier type that you've encountered before.
After Dremora Churl, you have another pair of Scamps to deal with. They are followed by a Dremora Kyngald. That is the last opponent to come out. Move in and interact with the portal to Seal Portal.
