The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

How can I get to the vaults area via lockpicking?

  • 1 of 4: Instead of entering the keep through its main door, which is unlocked, look for a locked door in the area to the right of it.
  • 2 of 4: Pick the lock to get inside, then turn right to find a raised spear gate.
  • 3 of 4: Look to the right of it for a locked "cage" on the wall, then pick its lock.
  • 4 of 4: Open it and press the button that's under it to lower the spears, then go through the door past them to enter the Cracked Tusk Vaults.
