The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

Free the prisoners.

  • 1 of 5: There are no Stormcloaks inside the prison area yet, so you can exit Sneak mode if you want to.
  • 2 of 5: Go through a door and into a large room with some stairs.
  • 3 of 5: Ignore the stairs for now and go through the door in the east wall to reach the prison cell area.
  • 4 of 5: There are four prisoners in locked cells that you need to release.
  • 5 of 5: After you release the fourth prisoner, you'll get the next objective.
