The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Where can I find the first journal?
1 of 3: Move down the cave passage until you reach a large room.
2 of 3: Go through the room, then start watching for draugr and Yngvild ghosts as you enter the next passage.
3 of 3: When you reach a spot with a side passage on the left, go down it to find the first journal on a table, guarded by a ghost. (Also watch out for another ghost and a draugr to run over and attack.)
