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

Commune with Hrothmund's Spirit.

  • 1 of 8: Enter the barrow, then go up the steps in the first room and open a large iron door.
  • 2 of 8: Past it, go down some steps, then wait for the water to lower before crossing the chamber.
  • 3 of 8: Check for two treasure chests to loot while Bujold goes over to Hrothmund's axe and talks to his spirit.
  • 4 of 8: Approach Bujold after her conversation with the spirit is over, then decide whether or not to let her lie her way into becoming the mead hall's leader.
  • 5 of 8: If you agree to keep quiet, the quest will end right away. Otherwise, you'll get the "Defeat Bujold" objective.
  • 6 of 8: If you return to the mead hall after agreeing to keep quiet, Kuvar will talk to you when you first enter.
  • 7 of 8: You can either tell him the truth about what happened, or not. If you tell the truth, Bujold will be exiled, and you'll lose out on Kuvar's Heavy Armor master trainer services. It's better to lie and say that it was an honor to stand with her.
  • 8 of 8: Either way, you can look around the fully restored mead hall for loot (mostly food and wine), and you can talk to the nords to get miscellaneous quests. Also, Elmus will be a food merchant, and Halbarn Iron-Fur will be a blacksmith merchant when he's outside at the forge during the day.
