The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Potema's Sanctum
1 of 7: Open the door in the back of the first room to see a draugr next to a throne. As you attack it, a vampire and several more draugr will run to join the battle.
2 of 7: After they're all down, move on to a room with a bunch of corpses on the floor. When Potema's spirit starts talking to you, back up and watch for a vampire and two draugr to rise up and attack you.
3 of 7: Go through the room's now-open gate and down to an iron door. Open it to find the chamber where Potema's spirit is floating around, then move into the doorway if necessary to get her to start talking.
4 of 7: The moment she does, sprint back to the stairs that lead to the corpse room. Potema can zap you periodically if you stand in the doorway.
5 of 7: Wait on the stairs for draugr to come to you, and peek through the doorway briefly to hit them with ranged attacks if they don't.
6 of 7: Every time Potema says something, watch for her to raise up one or more of the nearby draugr that you've already killed.
7 of 7: After you've killed (and re-killed) enough draugr, you'll get the next objective.
