Guide

Description

Sacrifice villagers at the Temple of Shadows.

Walkthrough

Go to the Temple of Shadows and speak to Cornelius Grim.
Talk to The Shadow Disciple next to the Wheel of Misfortune.
Now you must find sacrifices to build your shadow loyalty points up to 2000.
Find a villager and use the follow expression on them (they may have to like you or be scared of you first).
Find as many followers as you can, then fast travel to the Temple of Shadows.
Lead your followers into the circle in front of the Wheel, then pull the lever.
The Wheel will spin, your followers will be sacrificed and you will gain points.
Once you have 2000 you will need to make a "truly evil sacrifice at the hour of mystical midnight".
Repeat steps 4-5 with your spouse (or multiple Priests of Light).
Pause the game, in the top right corner of the pause menu there is a clock, you need this clock to reach 12:01 am.
Once you arrive at the temple go to the wheel room, turn left and head down the corridor you should find a bed.
Sleep for the desired amount of time (you need the clock to reach anywhere between 12:01 am and 1:00 am).
Now sacrifice your victims.

Reward

Notes

You cannot bring children to the temple for sacrifice.
Sacrificing between 12-1 am gives you 2x sacrificial points.
Sacrificing a villager gives you 35 points, between 12-1 am 70.
Sacrificing a Temple of Light monk gives you 105 points, between 12-1 am 210.
Sacrificing your spouse gives you 140 points, between 12-1 am 280.
Sacrificing in group does not give you extra sacrificial points.
Each sacrifice you make gives you 50 evil points, it doesn't matter how many people you sacrificed. If you don't want to get large sums of evil points it is recommended that you follow the bug that is in the bugs section.
If the wheel hits "Change Gender" you will gain loyalty points but the person will not die, you can get them to follow you and sacrifice them again.
Only your spouse will do for the final "Ritual of Unhallowed Wickedness". Make sure to have set a marital home! If you sacrifice any number of people other than your spouse, you will be chastised by Alastair: "Tut-tut. That wasn't even close to being evil enough." Not even 10 monks from the Temple of Light will count.
You cannot commit a crime in the Temple of Shadows, you can do whatever you want and you won't get a crime under logbook stats.
If another villager watches you sacrificing another one you'll get +1 villager killed in the logbook stats.
A glitch allows you to get the reward twice; for details see The Maelstrom.
To get the executioner achievement you need to sacrifice 10 people at the temple.
You can save money (if it is your first spouse) by proposing in front of the Oakfield Demon Door. Thereby gaining access to the Homestead where you can set it as a Marital Home and proceed to sacrificing your "loved" one at the Temple of Shadows.

Bugs

How to sacrifice more people than can follow you - get people to "stay" in Temple of Shadows

This can be achieved by getting as many as you can to follow you, leading them to the sacrificial circle so they take their scripted positions, then walking back slightly until they follow you again. The "following" sign will no longer be above their heads, but they will still chase you. "Dismissing" them will not cause them to stop following at this point - they will give the "I don't get it" response. After attempting a single "dismiss" command, immediately issue a "follow" command and wait for them to say their dialogue response - they will say "See you later" or similar. They will now remain in their current position. Do this with each of your current batch of followers. Proceed to fast-travel to another location (such as the Temple of Light) to recruit another batch of monks. They will respawn after about 12 hours time, and sometimes like to hang around at The Sandgoose tavern - so fast travelling to the Temple of Shadows and back should have more appear. Repeat this process as often as necessary. If you do not do the follow-lead to circle-back away-dismiss-follow sequence, that batch will vanish after you leave. If they are standing outside the circle when done, you can "nudge" them back in by walking into them.

(This bug will only save you from getting extra evil and corruption points, you don't get extra sacrificial points for sacrificing in group)

If you sacrifice someone you are to assassinate and the wheel lands on change gender the person will clone himself and one will change then you can sacrifice both
This must be done on an un-patched game.
