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

Confront Arch-Curate Vyrthur.

  • 1 of 5: Move toward the throne area where Vyrthur is lounging around until he starts talking to you, then sprint back for the narrow passage.
  • 2 of 5: He's going to reanimate the frozen chaurus in the room to fight you, and it's best to bottleneck them so they can't surround you. (It's especially good if Serana and/or a summoned creature is in the passage ahead of you, blocking its entrance.)
  • 3 of 5: After you finish off the chaurus, Vyrthur will reanimate some of the falmer. Finish them off, and he'll reanimate some more.
  • 4 of 5: Next up is an ancient frost atronach and even more falmer. Kill them all to get Vyrthur to totally wreck the place in a fit of rage.
  • 5 of 5: After you recover, follow Serana over to where Vyrthur is standing, then wait to get the next objective.
