The following walkthrough presents only the situation when you decided to work with Ralof, not with Hadvar.
While completing the quest, you might also deal with additional objectives.
In accordance with the received hint, find Gunjar’s body (screen above).
Examine it and collect, inter alia, anaxeandhero’s gear.
You should of course equip them at once in the inventory screen.
Prepare yourself, as theImperial Soldierswill appear here soon and you will have to fight them.
Don’t forget about being able to lead out heavy attacks and block.
Afterwards it would be good to examine the enemies' bodies and make that a habit for the future.
Head further following Ralof, choosing the western exit and afterwards going down the stairs onto the lower level.
Ignore the tunnel that will collapse before your eyes and enter the nearby room.
Here you will have to fight some moreImperial Soldiers(screen above), without any additional difficulties involved.
The same goes for the room, as many valuable items can be found hidden inside it.
After examining the room, approach Ralof to resume going through the Keep.
Afterwards listen to a short conversation and note that you received a dozenLockpicks.
Approach the marked cage and interact with the door.
Familiarize yourself with the instructions and approach the rather easy mini-game (screen above).
After opening the cage, firstly collect all the items that once belong to the former mage.
Apart from that pick up the items lying around him, especially theSpell Tome: Spark.
Take a look around the room to find some items useful for the warrior.
Open up the other chests and pick upThe Book of the Dragonbornas well.
Now head to the corridor going west and after a few moments turn south and use the stairs.
Head towards the big hole in the wall.
You will come across some moreImperial soldiersafter reaching a bigger cave.
Be careful, as there will be a rather big group of them to eliminate.
Additionally archers will attack you from the southern part of the room (screen above).
venture to avoid their attacks and eliminate them in direct combat.
Move on to the west.
After reaching a bigger cave head south and afterwards turn west.
Soon you should reach a spot where a group ofFrostbite Spiders(screen above) will attack you.
Keep moving throughout the whole battle to avoid their poison.
Also remember to focus on attacking only one of them at a time.
Afterwards don’t forget to examine their bodies and collect the precious (and light)Frostbite Venom.
Now head east, eventually reaching a big cave.
Stop after Ralof notices abear.
Listen out what he has to say about the possible options.
Note that you have received along bowwith twelveIron Arrows.
If you don’t intend to attack the bear, crouch and head south-east (screen above).
If only you don’t approach the beast too close, you shouldn’t get attacked.
If you want to get rid of the bear, you will have a wider choice.
The most obvious solution is using the bow that you received from Ralof (screen above).
You could also take care of him in different ways, for example in direct combat or using magic.
Don’t forget to check its body afterwards.
Wait for the game to move to a new location and listen out to what Ralof has to say.
The man will suggest heading to the nearby town of Riverwood to meet with his sister, Gerdur.
