The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I open the fancy door that the overlord was guarding?
1 of 7: This door should look familiar to you. It's very similar to the one you opened in Bleak Falls Barrow awhile ago.
2 of 7: To get the claw-shaped object that fits into this door's keyhole, loot the draugr overlord.
3 of 7: The Diamond Claw won't open the door until you set its three rotating rings correctly.
4 of 7: As before, the combination for this lock is engraved on the claw item.
5 of 7: Look at it in inventory to see that it shows a wolf, a moth, and a dragon (reading in top-to-bottom order).
6 of 7: So rotate the outer ring until it shows a wolf, the middle ring until it shows a moth, and the inner ring until it shows a dragon.
7 of 7: Now you can use the Diamond Claw in the keyhole to open the door.
