The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Hints

Nchuleftingth Expedition

  • 1 of 12: Elbert's second Dwemer quest has you going to the Nchuleftingth ruins at location 17 on the Molag Mar map to get excavation notes from Senilias Cadiusus.
  • 2 of 12: You'll find Cadiusus and his daughter past the first doors inside the ruins.
  • 3 of 12: Talk to Senilias about "excavation report" and "Anes Vendu" to learn that Vendu went into the lower area of the ruins and never returned.
  • 4 of 12: Go through the nearby door to the Test of Pattern area, and then find the door to the Lower Ruins.
  • 5 of 12: It's a secret door, and you'll have to find something to open it with.
  • 6 of 12: You see those three steam machines in wall niches that each have a Dwemer crank on them?
  • 7 of 12: Save your game and then try moving the cranks.
  • 8 of 12: Restore your game and only use the crank on the one farthest from the door to the Upper Ruins. It'll open the secret wall on the other side of the room.
  • 9 of 12: Once you're in the Lower Ruins, you can avoid combat with Steam Centurions by finding the stairs down on the right and taking them quickly.
  • 10 of 12: Then, to avoid a battle with a Dwarven Spectre, don't go any further into the room down there than Vendu's body.
  • 11 of 12: Search Vendu's body to get Senilius' Report, and also pick up the "Hanging Gardens" book that's next to him on the floor. It's vital for Trebonius Artorius' first quest.
  • 12 of 12: Report back to Senilius, then return to Elbert with the report to finish the quest.
