The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I get a skull key from the Ragnvald Crypts?
1 of 5: Kill the draugr in the first room, then go down the right-hand passage to avoid the left-hand passage's many traps.
2 of 5: Fight through the assorted draugr in the crypt area, then make your way to the upper floor of the room you come to.
3 of 5: Go through the east doorway to find Saerek's Skull Key setting on top of a pedestal.
4 of 5: When you take it, several draugr will rise up and attack, including a powerful one named Guardian Saerek.
5 of 5: Finish them off (or run away from them), then go back the way you came to return to the temple area.
