The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Recover Endon's Silver Mold.
1 of 11: Go down the stairs to the lower floor to find a guy named Rhorlak.
2 of 11: You can either get him to tell you how to open the bandit lair's secret entrance, or you can look around for it on your own.
3 of 11: Go down the lair's entry tunnel to reach the first large cave room, then move along the wooden walkways, killing bandits as you encounter them.
4 of 11: Past the other end of the walkways is a passage that leads to another large cave room. Fight your way to its north end, then go down the east passageway to reach the door to the Pinewatch Bandit's Sanctuary area.
5 of 11: Kill off the bandits in the sanctuary's first cave room, then go up the sloping ground on its west side to find a passage that leads onward.
6 of 11: Past one bandit's room, go through a door to find another bandit in a small draugr crypt area. Go down the next passage to reach a large camp area with several bandits in it.
7 of 11: Try to sneak-attack them or lure them away one at a time, then go down the passage with the warning stuck next to it to reach Rigel Strong-Arm's room.
8 of 11: If you carefully sneak around the rattly alarm chains, you might be able to sneak up on Rigel and get in a good sneak attack. In any case, kill and loot her to get two keys.
9 of 11: Go down the western passage to reach a locked door that one of her keys opens, then go through the next door and jump over the pressure plate as you cross the narrow bridge.
10 of 11: Watch for several more pressure plates on the floor as you move on, followed by a door with a swinging mace trap on its other side.
11 of 11: Past that door is the treasure room. Watch out for another pressure plate as you approach the altar that has Endon's silver mold on it, plus lots of loose loot.
