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

Locate Auriel's Bow.

  • 1 of 9: As you start back up the path that leads to the cave's exit, you'll encounter several vampires and thralls. (Note that you may be able to sneak up on them, but it would be very difficult.)
  • 2 of 9: After you finish them and a giant frostbite spider off, exit the cave and fast-travel to Mor Khazgur. If you didn't discover it earlier, check the Markarth section of the World Map Exploration Guide in the main Skyrim hint file.
  • 3 of 9: From Mor Khazgur, follow the quest arrow straight to Darkfall Cave, moving around or jumping over large rocks when necessary.
  • 4 of 9: Enter the cave and make your way down to a large room with a pit, then use the room's main ledge to go around the pit.
  • 5 of 9: Kill the frostbite spider in the next passage, then cross the wooden bridge when you come to it.
  • 6 of 9: Quicksave, then try to go back across the wooden bridge to get dropped down into the water. If you take a lot of damage from the fall, quickrestore and try again (maybe dropping into the water without getting back on the bridge).
  • 7 of 9: Let the water push you along until you end up in an area with a stream and several frostbite spiders. Kill them, then move down the stream to encounter more.
  • 8 of 9: After you kill (or sneak past) a giant frostbite spider that's in a side tunnel, you'll be able to leave the stream and move along a passage that leads to a small camp.
  • 9 of 9: Whichever way you go, move up to the shrine area to get the next objective.
