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

How can I get the artifact?

  • 1 of 8: Look through the closed gate in the southern corner of the room to see the artifact armor on a pedestal.
  • 2 of 8: The Telekinesis spell won't help this time, so look around for a way to open the gate.
  • 3 of 8: First, figure out how to open up an exit from this room.
  • 4 of 8: You can open the armor's gate the same way, but you'll have to set the interactive pillars to something other than hawk-hawk.
  • 5 of 8: Look on the room's NE and SW walls to see that each one has a pull chain.
  • 6 of 8: Use each pull chain, then wait to see what the rotating stone wall sections will reveal.
  • 7 of 8: They both reveal whale carvings, so set both of the pillars to display the whale symbol.
  • 8 of 8: You can then use the lever to open the gate and get to the armor.
