Meridia’s Shrine can be found west of Skingradalong the road to Kvatch. Around the halfway point on the road to Kvatch, head north where players will be able to detect Meridia’s Shrine and interact with the followers there.

How to Get Bonemeal, Ectoplasm, or Mort Flesh in Oblivion Remastered

Where to Find the Secret Door in Howling Cave
With one of the ritual items acquired, head to Meridia’s altar and place one of them as an offering to commune with Meridia herself. Meridia will task players with heading to Howling Cave and killing the necromancers inside. Howling Cave is found on the east side of Skingrad, just south of The Gold Road, but be warned, the five necromancers inside are no joke. As such, it’s a good idea to bring enchanted weapons, silver weapons,shock-resistant potions, and fire damage abilities.
Once inside Howling Cave, players must locate the secret door that can be found at the end of the northern passage, which opens automatically once players get close enough. It’s a good idea to try sneaking, or at least lure one necromancer out at a time, as they will overwhelm players with their high-damage magic spells, and the fact that they summon zombies, skeletons, and ghosts to fight alongside them. Try to bring plenty of potions of healing potions, as the Necromancers also have quite a few healing potions themselves.
The best way to kill the necromancers in Howling Cave is to focus on the necromancers and use potions to outheal the damage that the summoned enemies deal, because if the necromancer dies, so does the summoned thrall. There are around 5 necromancers scattered in Howling Cave, so try to locate and kill each of them one at a time, and retreat out of the Howling Cave if you need more supplies.
