You have to visit ruins of Valthume.
Once you get there, explore the tomb.
After reaching the destination, find a door leading toValthumeand speak with the ghost ofValdar.
The ghost will warn you of the evil lurking in this place, connected with the Dragon Priest Hevnoraak.
The first thing it’s crucial that you do is obtain three magic Vessels.
Use the passage unlocked after speaking with Valdar, heading south.
Soon you should reach a large gate and you gotta open it to reach the main part ofValthume.
Head onwards, choosing the narrow southern passage (screen above).
Unfortunately in most cases they will be the stronger types, i.e.Draugr Wights,Draugr ScourgesandDraugr Deathlords.
Adapt your tactic depending on whether you’re fighting a warrior, archer or mage.
Unfortunately it’s guarded by aDraugr Deathlord, so you will have to defeat him first.
After the fight, take theVessel.
Return to the main corridor and head further south.
Inside the next big room awaits you a hard fight withDraugrs.
It’s worth to quickly eliminate those of them who can use magic.
Afterwards dead east to find a passage to theValthume Catacombs.
Head inside the big catacombs room.
With the area secured, head east and pull the chain to unlock a passage.
You will now need to head through a series of narrow corridors.
Just like before, deal with theDraugr Deathlordand pick up theVesselafterwards.
Additionally I’d suggest disarming the traps to take out theSoul Gem.
Head out of the room and resume exploring the catacombs, choosing the southern corridor.
Successively fight your way through theDraugrs, looking out for more hard to notice traps.
you’ve got the option to gain access to the southern room by pulling the chain.
Deal with another group ofDraugrs, jump down and choose the corridor going west (screen above).
Soon enough you should reach a locked door.
Here you will have to solve an easy and probably well-known puzzle.
Start off by taking theIron Clawfrom the pedestal (look out for the fire trap!)
and watch it in the inventory to establish the proper order of the symbols.
Carefully enter the new room and fight a numerous group ofDraugrs.
Collect the lastVesselonly after eliminating the undead.
Return to the main part of theValthumetomb and stop after reaching the biggest room withValdarinside.
Afterwards interact with the throne to sit on it.
secure your game while you’re at it, as a boss fight awaits you.
New main objective: Defeat Hevnoraak
Stand up when you see thatHevnoraakget out of his grave.
Start fighting the Dragon Priest (screen above), who for obvious reasons will be a demanding enemy.
Afterwards speak toValdar, who will suggest takingHevnoraak Maskas a prize for completing this quest.
