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

How can I get the paragon item and loot?

  • 1 of 9: After turning right, drop down and cross the river to find another frost giant under a rocky overhang.
  • 2 of 9: Kill him to get his Sapphire Paragon item, then go back across the river and over to the small section of ruins.
  • 3 of 9: Activate the paragon socket gadget and choose which paragon item to put in it.
  • 4 of 9: The Amethyst Paragon will open a portal to a special part of Darkfall Grotto that has a treasure chest.
  • 5 of 9: Loot it, then use the portal to return to the paragon socket area.
  • 6 of 9: Activate the socket to remove the Amethyst Paragon, then activate it again and choose to insert the Sapphire Paragon.
  • 7 of 9: That'll open up a portal to a special part of the Inner Sanctum area (which you'll be visiting later) where you can get lots of gems and other items.
  • 8 of 9: As before, use the portal to leave when you're through, then activate the socket to get your paragon item back.
  • 9 of 9: When you're ready to get back on track for the next wayshrine, jump up the rocks that are to the right of the ruins, or go over the waterfall and back up the steep path.
