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

How can I get to the shellbug?

  • 1 of 4: After entering the cave, move forward to find two chaurus in a pen, then turn left and look for a small ramp on the left side of the passage.
  • 2 of 4: Go up the ramp and use the rope release gadget, then go down the passage and kill the chaurus hunter fledglings that burst out of cocoons.
  • 3 of 4: After they're dead, look on the right side of their cave room for a narrow stone pathway that leads up to the secret door that the rope release opened.
  • 4 of 4: Past it is an area with a huge, immobile shellbug creature. It works like an ore vein, so apply a pickaxe to it. That'll get you some shellbug chitin and random gems.
