The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Get past Borkul the Beast.
1 of 5: You'll find Borkul next to a locked gate nearby.
2 of 5: Talk to Borkul about seeing Madanach to learn that he wants you to get him a shiv.
3 of 5: First, try using the persuade option. If that fails, you might want to try brawling with him.
4 of 5: Another option is to pickpocket the key from him. For some reason, he won't pay any attention when you open the gate with the key after pickpocketing it.
5 of 5: The only other option is to ask him about the shiv he wants, then go get it for him.
