The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Escape from Irkngthand.
1 of 5: Quicksave as soon as you get this objective, then keep swimming up and staying on the surface as the water rises.
2 of 5: As you do so, watch the ceiling above the giant statue's head.
3 of 5: Right before the chamber is completely filled with water, the different-looking rocks above the statue's head will fall out of place, revealing an opening that leads to a tunnel with air.
4 of 5: It can be really hard to keep your head above water and watch the rocks without getting disoriented, so I hope you brought a waterbreathing item to wear (or potion to drink). That'll give you more time to locate the tunnel after it's opened up.
5 of 5: Use the tunnel to enter Bronze Water Cave, after which you'll get the next objective.
