The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I enter Blackreach through Mzinchaleft?
1 of 3: See the "Locate Grimsever" Riften miscellaneous quest for directions on getting to the Mzinchaleft Gatehouse area. (Note that you don't have to be doing that quest, but you won't be able to actually find Grimsever if you aren't.)
2 of 3: After you deal with the gatehouse's centurion, look to the left of its starting position to find a gate that leads to a dwarven mechanism.
3 of 3: Activate the mechanism to lower some stairs, then go down them to find a door leading to Blackreach.
