The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

What do I do once I'm inside the Reaper's Lair?

  • 1 of 5: Go straight forward to find the reaper shard receptacle.
  • 2 of 5: Activate it to put all three reaper gem fragments into it.
  • 3 of 5: Doing that will summon the powerful Reaper creature and a few of his undead minions.
  • 4 of 5: Note that if you crouch down and back up right after you activate the receptacle, you may be able to get in a sneaky attack on the Reaper before he sees you.
  • 5 of 5: After you kill the Reaper, search his ghostly remains to find some black soul gems and a Daedra heart. (That's funny. He didn't look Daedrish.)
