The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

How can I get that item and get back to the door unseen?

  • 1 of 5: Go back down the ramp, then quicksave.
  • 2 of 5: You'll want to sneak up the nearby stairs, then turn right and sneak up some more stairs. While doing so, you may be seen by a patrolling guard (unless you use an Invisibility potion).
  • 3 of 5: Turn left past the second set of stairs and move along to where you can go up some slanty ground to reach an elevated shack.
  • 4 of 5: Enter the shack and look for the East Empire Shipping Map on the table.
  • 5 of 5: After you get it, retrace your route to get back to the Brinewater Grotto door, using timing or an Invisibility potion to sneak past the guards again.
