Locations[edit]

Ustengrav

Walkthrough[edit]

It's time to leave High Hrothgar and begin your search for the Horn of the Founder of the Greybeards. Take a little time to talk with Arngeir to learn more about the Greybeards, the Return of the Dragons and Jurgen Windcaller. After that you need to make your way down the mountain along the 7,000 Steps again (or just Fast Travel to the Western Watchtower of Whiterun). To the Northwest and head for Ustengrav.

Entrance to Ustengrav

Once inside just go on down the slope and into the main chamber. Head over to the East some to find a few Necromaners, Conjurers and Bandits fighting. Deal with the survivors or just kill them all. Head through the passage to the East found in the room.

In this next section you will find another pair of Conjurers and a number of Draugr. Kill them off and search the area. Head to the South to push on toward your destination. Search the room to the East and North to find the Restoration Skill Book from this room. You have more Draugr to deal with. This includes a few Restless Draugr as well. Just head to the South and East to find a walkay. Take it across the the gap, turn left and you will find your way to the Ustengrav Depths.

Once in the depths, keep to the path as it takes you farther down. Be careful as there are yet more Draugr and some traps along the path. When you get to the next walkway, either use it to fight the Draugr below you or drop and and start bashing in their head. Go South after that through the next doorway. Follow it to the East then North then West and South. This next chamber has a flammable liquid on it. This can be used to your advantage if handled right.

Once all the Draugr crawl out of their coffins, stand nearby the purple fluid and let them approach you. When they are close, light it with a Fire spell. Just bash them after that. Exit the chamber to the West and go on down the slope to the North. Turn to the West and use the stairs to get down the ground level without falling and taking damage.

Ustengrav Depths 1

Here you will encounter some Skeletons. Deal with them all then turn to the Northwest and head farther down into the depths. Head down the ramp and turn to the North. Just to the right of the waterfall to the North you will find a Word Wall with a word from Become Ethereal.

Ustengrav Depths 2

Head back on up the slope after that. Take the stone arch to the West. Deal with the Skeleton Archer here. Find the doors with the 3 stones in front of it.

Ustengrav Depths 3

This can be tricky to deal with. You need to go by all 3 of the stones in front of the series of portcullis then get through before the doors close. Line up the stones to the West of them. You need to run past all 3 of them so they glow then use the shout Whirlwind Sprint to get through the portcullis before they all lower again. Just continue on through to the East. There are some traps on the floor so be careful to avoid getting lit on fire.

Get onto the raised platform. You don't get any breaks a pair of Frostbite Spiders skitter down and attack you. Kill them then turn to the East and cut/burn your way through the thick webbing. Open the Wooden Door behind it. Pull the chain to the left of the portcullis to open the one in front of you. Head on down the stairs and to the altar in front of you. Pick up the note you find there:

Head around the altar and open the door behind it. You will find a Spell Tome there inside the chest. Loot everything then turn to the Northwest and get outside. After that Fast Travel over to the Riverwood and head into the Sleeping Giant Inn. Head inside and ask Delphine for the attic room mentioned in the note. She will direct you to a specific room. She will tell you to head into the room on the left. Go to the marked room and wait a minute. She will come in and talk with you. She gives you the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller and the next quest starts.

Head back to High Hrothgar once you have finished talking with Delphine. Head out to the Courtyard to find Arngeir. Indulge him in another round of practice. After that go inside and approach Wulfgar. He will put the final word of Unrelenting Force on the ground for you to learn, "Dah". After that just stand where you are and wait for the Greybeards to talk with you using the Voice.
