The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Retrieve Eldergleam sap.
1 of 6: A guy named Maurice Jondrelle will talk to you and ask to come along. You can either accept his offer or turn him down. (Note that accepting can make things a bit easier later on.)
2 of 6: Either way, you'll need to travel to the Eldergleam Sanctuary, which is a ways south of Windhelm. See its section of the World Map Exploration Guide for directions.
3 of 6: Enter the sanctuary and go along the passage to reach a huge cavern, then follow the path along until it's blocked by giant roots.
4 of 6: Equip Nettlebane and move up against the first path-blocking roots, then take a swing at them to get them to move out of your way.
5 of 6: After you do that to the rest of the path-blocking roots, Maurice Jondrelle will talk to you (if you brought him). You can insist on taking sap from the tree, or you can ask him for an alternative.
6 of 6: If you accept Jondrelle's alternative, you'll get the next objective. Otherwise, you'll need to go up to the base of the tree and activate it to get the "Return to Danica" objective.
