The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

How can I get through this area?

  • 1 of 8: The best way to deal with the nearest falmer is to sneak-shoot one of them with an arrow, then quickly retrace your route past the spinning blade trap.
  • 2 of 8: Stand near the bottom of the steps that are at the top of the ramp, ready to block the blows of any falmer who reach you.
  • 3 of 8: The trap should quickly take care of them, so go back past it and look for some stairs in the back right corner of the falmer area.
  • 4 of 8: Go up the stairs to a curving stone ramp, watching for another falmer along the way.
  • 5 of 8: Past the stone ramp, look for a falmer in the dwellings on your right, then look for one you can sneak-shoot near another dwelling that's farther down the pathway.
  • 6 of 8: Go past that dwelling to find a button device that you can use to lower a ramp.
  • 7 of 8: Go back the way you came, then go up the lowered ramp. Just past it, two dwarven spiders will appear and attack. If you're careful, you can take them on one at a time.
  • 8 of 8: Past them, go down a ramp and turn right, then go along some rooftops until you can turn left into an area with some large golden doors.
