The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
How can I get to this black book?
1 of 9: After entering Benkongerike, move along the snowy passage until you reach a large cavern with a large riekling camp in it.
2 of 9: Cross the cavern and go down the next passage to reach another riekling camp.
3 of 9: Fight your way through it, then watch out for riekling ambushes and trap tripwires as you make your way along the next passage.
4 of 9: In the next large cavern, kill off the rieklings and try to stay on the walkways as you make your way to its NE end, where you'll find the passage that leads to the Benkongerike Great Hall entrance. (Watch out for more ambush rieklings near the door.)
5 of 9: In the Great Hall area, go through a room and up a spiral staircase, then down a short passage to reach the main chamber.
6 of 9: Kill off the rieklings in there, then look for a closed gate in the south wall.
7 of 9: Look just past the gate for a Word Wall that has a word for the Cyclone shout on it, then look in the east wall for an opening you can get to by going up a fallen pillar.
8 of 9: Go along the small cave tunnel to reach the chamber where the black book is setting on a pedestal.
9 of 9: When you're ready to leave, go through the door in the book chamber's south wall, then down a short tunnel to a secret door that's opened with a pull chain. That'll shortcut you back to a spot near the exit.
