The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Travel with Barbas to the shrine of Clavicus Vile.
1 of 7: You'll get this objective right away if you agree to go to the shrine with Barbas. Otherwise, you won't get it until you travel to Haemar's Shame on your own and talk to Barbas again.
2 of 7: Follow Barbas all the way to Haemar's Shame, then follow him inside the cavern.
3 of 7: Kill the vampire thrall in the first cave room, then move down the passage to find a vampire. (Watch out for the nearby pressure plate that triggers a nasty trap.)
4 of 7: After you pass through a large cave room, you'll come to an even larger multi-level one that has several vampires and thralls in it. Stay back and let Barbas keep their attention while you use ranged attacks.
5 of 7: Follow Barbas into the Haemar's Shame area, then move down the passage to find a large frostbite spider.
6 of 7: Kill it, then move on until you reach the room with Clavicus Vile's shrine in it. Barbas will already be there, fighting a group of vampires.
7 of 7: After they're all dead, go up to the large statue and activate it to talk to Clavicus Vile and get the next objective.
