The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

Return the books.

  • 1 of 4: If the wooden door that leads to the NW side room is closed and locked, loot the Caller's body to get the key that opens it.
  • 2 of 4: Use the trap door that's in the NW side room, then remove the wooden plank that's barring the door so you can open it.
  • 3 of 4: Past it, use the door that leads outside, then fast-travel back to the College of Winterhold.
  • 4 of 4: Return to the Arcanaeum and talk to Urag gro-Shub about the missing books to get some skill books and the next quest.
