The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I get a skull key from the Ragnvald Canal?
1 of 6: Turn left after you enter, then cross a wooden bridge and kill some draugr (including a wight).
2 of 6: Drop into the water and go over to the steps that are on the south side.
3 of 6: Go up them and squeeze past a raised bridge, then go down the passages until you reach a large room.
4 of 6: Go along the room's upper walkway to find Torsten's Skull Key setting on top of a pedestal.
5 of 6: When you take it, several draugr will rise up and attack, including a powerful one named Guardian Torsten.
6 of 6: Finish them off (or run away from them), then go back the way you came to return to the temple area.
