The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
How can I get to this black book?
1 of 5: Do the "Elemental spider making" undocumented quest until you find and kill Merilar Rendas.
2 of 5: Go up the stairs that lead south from Rendas' platform, destroying a web as you go, to reach a door that leads to a large chamber.
3 of 5: Go down to the chamber's lower floor to get a dragon priest named Dukaan to rise from his sarcophagus, then quickly sprint back up the stairs and through the door.
4 of 5: Dukaan is not only powerful by himself, but he can also summon seeker creatures to aid him in combat. You'll want to summon a creature of your own and use powerful ranged attacks as much as possible to win this battle.
5 of 5: Once it's over, you can go down to the lower floor and look between the sets of stairs to find the black book you're after on a pedestal. (Note that on the opposite side of the chamber is a Word Wall with a word for the Cyclone shout on it.)
