The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I find the third opaque vessel?
1 of 5: After taking the vessel, grab the soul gems from the three nearby pedestal traps before returning to the first draugr scourge's area and heading down its SW side passage. (Taking the soul gems will spare you a bit of pain as you go down that passage.)
2 of 5: Be ready to fight a draugr wight and scourge on your way to a closed gate, which you can open with a pull chain that's to the right of it.
3 of 5: Past it, move along the walkway to encounter a couple more draugr wights, then drop down to the lower floor and go to its west end to find an iron door.
4 of 5: Open it, then hang back and lure the spiders to you before entering the room and figuring out how to open the puzzle door at its other end.
5 of 5: Past the door is a room with the third and final opaque vessel on a pedestal -- but beware the powerful draugr in the room, which include a deathlord.
