The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

Enter Labyrinthian.

  • 1 of 5: Go NW from the Whiterun Stables until you reach Bleakwind Basin, then go around it on either side if you don't want to fight the giants and mammoths. They won't turn hostile unless you get too close to them.
  • 2 of 5: Go north from the basin until you reach the Silent Moons Camp, then stay under cover at its south end and let the resident bandits come to you. (Note that one or more of them may be mages.)
  • 3 of 5: Go NW from the south end of the camp, toward the gap you can see between two large mountains in the distance. Watch out for wandering mammoths as you go.
  • 4 of 5: Head down the gap between mountains to reach the huge Labyrinthian area. You'll encounter a frost troll or two as you make your way to the entry door marked by the quest arrow, so be ready for them.
  • 5 of 5: Either listen to the ghosts or ignore them, then activate the ceremonial door to enter and get the next objective.
