From our guide, you’ll learn where to find Esbern.
I’d suggest using the stairs south of the passage marked by the game (screen above).
After getting below, you just need to approach the door and therefore reachThe Ratway.
Soon enough you will come acrossHewnon Black-SkeeverandDraff(screen above).
Adjust your tactic depending on who you’re fighting with at the moment.
Search the bodies of the defeated enemies and return to exploring the sewers.
Eventually you better reach the raised drawbridge.
Ignore it and jump onto the lower level.
There are two paths leading to the next location.
The shorter one implies having to fire up the secured eastern gate (screen above).
If you could’t open it or want to explore the area more thoroughly, use the western door.
Luckily even if you fall into one, you won’t lose too much health.
Afterwards be sure to search the table for theBeggar book, boosting yourPickpocketing.
Use the door leading to the underground inn,Ragged Flagon.
You will now have to establish Esbern’s exact whereabouts and you will have a few options.
The most obvious is talking with the bartender,Vekel the Man(screen above).
In both cases you will learn that Esbern can be found inTheRatway Warrens.
You will encounter the first group of enemies almost right after entering the Flagon.
Only after dealing with the mage should you take care of theThalmor Soldiers(screen above).
After taking care of them it would be of course worth to examine the enemies' bodies.
Sooner or later you will reach the ground floor (screen above).
Search for the southern door, leading toThe Ratway Warrens.
Head to the middle room and go up the stairs (screen above).
You don’t need to talk with thepeoplein the cells at all.
What’s more, most of them would be aggressive towards you.
you’re free to convince the old man of your good intentions in a couple ways, i.e.
Wait for Esbern to launch the cell and get inside for the proper conversation.
Eventually you will learn that you’re gonna wanna escort Esbern to Riverwood.
