The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

Avanchnzel Boilery

  • 1 of 4: Move down the passage until you encounter a dwarven sphere, then keep going until you reach some golden doors.
  • 2 of 4: Past the doors, jump over the pressure plates (or go around them on either side) to avoid activating the spinning blade trap that killed Watches-The-Roots.
  • 3 of 4: Past the next doors is the large chamber that the lexicon was stolen from. Look for the pedestal that it goes on near the large dwemer centurion.
  • 4 of 4: Go up to the pedestal that the centurion was standing next to, then activate it to place the lexicon and finish the quest. You'll also get the Ancient Knowledge perk, which improves your armor rating if you're wearing all dwarven armor, and increases the rate at which your Smithing skill goes up.
