This place is located in the northern part of Skyrim.
Plan your travel carefully, because you’ll have to do some climbing.
So I do not recommend choosing steep mountain slopes, because you’ll only make your trip harder.
During this quest I strongly recommend exploring the area, to be sure that you’ve killed every opponent.
Otherwise you may not complete an optional objective.
After killing all enemies, use the small door and enter theDriftshade Refuge.
You’ll encounter first group ofopponentsafter getting to the quite large chamber (screen above).
Remember to watch out for heavily armored enemies and quickly eliminate bowmen.
After the fight use the western passage, because the northern door is closed.
Be careful, because there are few morewerewolf huntersin the area
.
Head west, continuing exploration of Silver Hand stronghold.
Newopponentsawait you in the next large changer.
Kill then, explore the area and choose a corridor leading north.
Return to the main corridor and keep going.
Prepare to fight another battle after a while.
see to it that allenemiesare dead and approach the eastern passage (screen above).
Pulling the lever will give you an access to the door leading toDriftshade Cellar.
Examine cabinets here, with more or less valuable armor elements and then choose a corridor leading east.
launch the door to the next room and deal with a group ofopponentsthere.
After the fight I suggest searching forLight Armor skill book The Rear Guard.
After exploring the area, choose the northern entrance to the ice cavern (screen above).
Be careful because you’ll be attacked bywerewolf hunterswith at least one stronger opponent.
Head north now and attack another group ofSilver Handmembers.
Again choose a corridor leading north (screen above).
After reaching the next cellar room, prepare to fight with newenemies.
Kill them all and choose a corridor leading north.
Finally you should reach to the door that leads to previously unexplored part of theDriftshade Refuge.
Use the stairs and attack the last group ofwerewolf hunters(screen above).
have a go at eliminate bowmen first, so they won’t bother you later.
After the fight the game should credit an optional objective of this quest.
If not, return to previous location and check that that it is fully secured.
You may now explore current area.
Examine also enemies' corpses, because at least one of them was using quite good sword.
Finally approach the table, where you’ll findWuuthrad’s fragments(screen above).
bring up the world map and return toWhiterun.Vilkasshould leave you here, mentioning the preparations for funeral.
you might start next major Companions quest without any additional preparations.
