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

Reach the summit of Arkngthamz.

  • 1 of 9: Look for a slanting pillar that you can use to walk down to a small bit of ground with Katria's dead body on it.
  • 2 of 9: After doing the "(Optional) Retrieve Katria's Journal" objective, move along the golden pipe to get onto a golden walkway. Watch out for two dwarven spiders dropping down and attacking as you move along it.
  • 3 of 9: Go through a gate when it opens, then figure out how to get the next gate open.
  • 4 of 9: Move on past that gate until you reach a large chamber guarded by two falmer. Kill them, then go down the stairs and kill another one near the small camp.
  • 5 of 9: Past the camp, move along the stone walkway, watching for three falmer to drop down and ambush you at one point. Not far past that is a short stone pillar being used as a bridge. Before you cross it and move on, you might want to loot the chest that's past the nearby locked gate.
  • 6 of 9: Past the stone pillar bridge, move along the winding walkway, watching for two more falmer and a chaurus to kill. When you come to a tunnel, follow it along to reach a camp with a falmer and one or more chaurus.
  • 7 of 9: There's an open gate in the SW corner of the camp that leads to a bit of optional combat and loot. To move on, go up the slanting ground that's on one side of the camp.
  • 8 of 9: Past a short tunnel, go over to a spot near the drop-off and wait for Katria to notice her unique bow on the end of a nearby log.
  • 9 of 9: Keep following the path until Katria talks to you and gives you the "Solve the Tonal Lock" objective.
