The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Dustman's Cairn
1 of 6: Read the Two-Handed skill book that's on the table in the entry room, then move down the passage slowly.
2 of 6: When several draugr attack, hang back and let Farkas take the brunt of the assault while you offer supporting fire with arrows, spells, or whatever.
3 of 6: Move on until you reach a large cavern, then look for a way to open the gate in its SE corner.
4 of 6: Past the SE gate, you'll move through a couple of rooms with Silver Hand fighters in it, followed by a large crypt area with a few Silver Hands and several draugr.
5 of 6: Past another large cave with some Silver Hands in it, watch for a dart trap's pressure plate on the floor as you go down some stairs. Try to use the trap to injure the Silver Hand guys who are ahead (or just let Farkas go after them).
6 of 6: At the end of the passage is a door that leads to the Dustman's Crypt area.
