The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Kill Cicero.
1 of 11: Look for some enchanted jester's apparel on a table in the first room, then go through the wooden door to meet your first hostile sanctuary guardian.
2 of 11: Kill it, then move on to find a bridge with a major spear trap.
3 of 11: The best way to get past it is to go along the narrow ledge on the left side of the room. Be careful not to fall down into the room below.
4 of 11: After you reach the other side of the bridge, kill the nearby sanctuary guardian, then go down to the entrance to the room that's beneath the bridge.
5 of 11: Move slowly into the room until you hear the sound of ropes snapping, then quickly back up out of the room. Some oil lamps are going to fall and ignite the room's oil spill.
6 of 11: Finish off any guardians that the oil trap doesn't kill, then wait for the flames to die out before crossing the room and moving on to another room with two more guardians in it.
7 of 11: Look on the south side of the room for a pull chain next to some stairs. Use the pull chain to create a shortcut back to the exit, then enter the large icy tunnel.
8 of 11: Watch out for a couple of bear traps near a dead goat, followed by a unique troll named Udefrykte. Kill it or sneak past it, then look on the bottom level of the other side of its lair for a passage that leads to a wooden door.
9 of 11: Use the pull chain that's to the right of the spears to lower them, then get ready to fight several guardians in the passage ahead.
10 of 11: After pulling another chain to lower more spears, move on to find two wooden doors. Remove the bar from the left one so you can open it to create a shortcut back to the exit, then go through the other door to find Cicero.
11 of 11: Approach him to get him to talk to you. Choose any dialogue option, then wait to get the next objective.
