The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Alftand Glacial Ruins
1 of 6: Go down the long and winding passage until you reach a large area with old dwarven devices strewn about. As you move on from there, you'll start encountering dwarven spiders.
2 of 6: Not long after you kill a deranged khajiit, you'll come to a room where a dwarven sphere will attack you. It's considerably more powerful than the spiders, so ignite the oil spill on the floor to damage it as soon as it appears.
3 of 6: There's a gassy passage past its area which you need to go down without a torch or a flame spell readied, since they would ignite the gas.
4 of 6: Past the gassy passage is a room with a few dwarven spiders (use the oil spill against them) and some large golden doors.
5 of 6: Go through the doors and turn left, watching for dwarven spiders as you make your way to an upper walkway that has a lot of extending piston devices on it.
6 of 6: Jump over the non-moving parts of the piston devices to get past them, then move on to find a door to the Alftand Animonculory area.
