The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Clear the Draugr from Reachcliff Cave.
1 of 6: Exit the Hall of the Dead and tell Brother Verulus that it's safe now to get his Amulet of Arkay.
2 of 6: Travel to Reachcliff Cave, which is a ways SE of Markarth. See the World Map Exploration Guide for precise directions.
3 of 6: Eola will talk to you when you arrive. You can either get her to go in with you as a temporary follower, or you can insist on going in without her. (Note that she's as unkillable as regular followers, so you might as well take her with you. However, be very careful not to accidently hit her with any of your attacks.)
4 of 6: Enter the cave and go down the first passage to encounter your first two draugr. After killing them, move down the next passage to meet two more draugr, followed by a small crypt area with a draugr in a wall niche.
5 of 6: Go down the west path and around to a large cave with a couple more draugr in it. In the side room where a draugr breaks out of a sarcophagus, go through the hollowed-out sarcophagus to reach the next tunnel.
6 of 6: It leads to some doors that open on a large banquet room with two draugr plus a draugr overlord in it. Try to finish off the other two draugr quickly, then dodge around while Eola takes down the overlord.
