The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
What's the more combative route to the vaults?
1 of 6: Enter the keep through its unlocked door, then kill off the two orcs in its large entry room.
2 of 6: Use the stairs to get onto its upper floor, then go down the hall to find Ghunzul's room.
3 of 6: Kill him and get his key, then return to the entry room and go through the door on its west side.
4 of 6: Move along until you find a raised spear gate with a locked "cage" on the wall to the right of it.
5 of 6: Ghunzul's key lets you open the cage without having to pick its lock, so do that and press the button that's under it.
6 of 6: That lowers the spears, allowing you to use the door past them to enter the Cracked Tusk Vaults.
