The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I get to the same place by going through Volskygge?
1 of 11: Enter Volskygge through its main entry door, then go through an iron door and a large empty room.
2 of 11: Kill two bandits in the following passage, and watch out for a pressure plate that activates a swinging gate trap.
3 of 11: Past that, kill another bandit on your way to a path split, then turn right. Go through the door on the other side of the large banquet area, watching out for a pressure plate that activates a swinging log trap.
4 of 11: Past that is a room with a closed gate that you'll need to figure out how to open.
5 of 11: Go down the stairwell past the gate to find a door that leads to the Volskygge Passages area.
6 of 11: Go down the passage and through the iron door in the first room to reach a room with a draugr scourge in it. Kill it, then use the lever next to the closed gate to open it.
7 of 11: Past it, watch out for a pressure plate that activates a swinging axe trap as you move into the second room that has a large floor grate. It'll open as you approach, and you can either go down its broken stairwell or skip it in order to get to a large draugr crypt area.
8 of 11: Fight your way through all the draugr in the crypt until you reach a path split room. Go through its west doorway to find some stairs guarded by a draugr wight and a swinging log trap. (Try to use the trap to damage or kill the wight.)
9 of 11: Go down the long and winding cave tunnel past that, killing frostbite spiders and hacking or burning through webs, until you reach a huge chamber with draugr in it.
10 of 11: Kill off the draugr, then go through the chamber and up some stairs to find a powerful draugr death overlord on a throne.
11 of 11: Go up the stairs in the back of the overlord's room to find a door that leads outside to the Word Wall area.
