The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Bthardamz Upper District
1 of 8: Go through the first room and down to a room with a locked gate.
2 of 8: If you can't pick the lock, go through the open door to the left, then turn right and go down to another door that leads to the area past the gate. (Note that if you're sneaky, you can avoid the attention of several nearby afflicted.)
3 of 8: Move on from there to reach a room with three afflicted gathered around some green gunk, then keep going to reach an even larger room with four more afflicted in it.
4 of 8: After finishing them off, go up either of the curving stone ramps in the SW corner to reach a closed spear gate.
5 of 8: Past the spears, go through some large golden doors, then go down a ramp and turn right to find another ramp. This one has an afflicted and a spinning blades trap on it. If you're quick, you can use the trap against the afflicted.
6 of 8: Past a gate is a room with three more afflicted and a door to the Bthardamz Workshop area. It's just a small area that'll lead you back here before long.
7 of 8: After returning to this area, move along until you come to two sets of stairs. Take the set on the right to reach the door to an optional area called Bthardamz Dwelling. Loot it if you want, then return and go up the other set of stairs.
8 of 8: Keep going up stairs and killing afflicted as you come across them until you reach a couple of stone ramps. Go up them to reach the door to the Bthardamz Lower District area.
