The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
What's the regular way to get to the same area?
1 of 13: Open the gate with the scrye device, then go past it and activate the "Chapter II" book to get teleported to a new area. (Note that you can then turn around and read the "Chapter I" book to return to where you were, but that's not useful.)
2 of 13: Go down the winding corridor until you reach a large room, then try to sneak-attack the seeker that you can see between two large book stacks ahead.
3 of 13: After killing that seeker and another one, look NE of the altar that's in the back of the room to find a ramp.
4 of 13: Past the second moving bridge, go left to find a bit of treasure, then go the other way to find a "Chapter III" book.
5 of 13: Read it to be teleported again, then move into a huge open area. Before crossing the bridge ahead, look to the right for a ramp.
6 of 13: Go up it and along until you find a scrye device, then use it to extend the stone steps on both sides of the small central "island."
7 of 13: Go back down to the bridge, then cross to the island and kill the seeker that's on it before crossing the next small bridge. A bit past it are some steps leading up to a closed gate.
8 of 13: Look to the south of the gate for some more steps, then kill off the nearby lurker before going up them and a ramp to find the scrye device that opens the gate.
9 of 13: Go through that gate and up some steps to find another closed gate, then look SW from it to see the steps that lead up to its opening scrye.
10 of 13: Watching out for another seeker, go to the back of the area past that gate and wait for it to "extend" in a warpy-looking way. After it does, you can go to its other end to find "Chapter V" and "Chapter VI" books.
11 of 13: Use the "Chapter VI" book to get it to teleport you, then go down to where there are "Chapter VII" and "Chapter VIII" books.
12 of 13: Use the "Chapter VII" book to get to a small "island" with a seeker on it. Kill it, then use the scrye device before using the "Chapter VI" book to return to where you were.
13 of 13: Now use the "Chapter VIII" book to get to where the shortcut would've taken you.
