Unfathomable Depths

  • 1 of 4: Once you're level 14 or higher, go to Riften, then exit it using the door on its west side. Go along the board walkways until you find an argonian named From-Deepest-Fathoms, then talk to her to get this quest.
  • 2 of 4: See the Riften section of the World Map Exploration Guide if you need help getting to Avanchnzel.
  • 3 of 4: Once there, go up its curving stone ramps to reach a dark cave entrance.
  • 4 of 4: Use it to enter the Avanchnzel area, then make your way through it and two more areas to finish the quest.
