you could begin this quest in Riften and your main objective is to take a lexicon to Avanchnzel.
This location is full of monsters that have to be defeated.
Activating the quest
As you’re aroundRiften, visit the city harbour.
Approach her and the frightened woman will ask you for help in a certain case.
She apparently has stolen a cursed item - theLexicon.
Nightmares will keep tormenting her until she gets rid of it.
If you agree to take on this mission, you will receive a task of reachingAvanchnzeland taking theLexiconthere.
After reaching the bottom of the mountain, keep going up the slope and afterwards follow the dwarven path.
Soon enough you should reach the keep entrance (screen above).
What’s interesting, one of the ghosts isFrom-Deepest-Fathoms, from whom you received this quest.
Has her soul been trapped here and her body left to roam Skyrim?
Keep going onwards, fighting enemies on your way and eventually you will reach theAvanchnzel Animoncultory.
Defeat another Spider and Sphere inside and turn left.
Apparently one of them wanted to back out, but the others talked him into continuing.
You also shouldn’t back out.
Inside the small room you will find lots of treasures and theRacial Phylogenyskillbook which will boost yourRestoration.
Head out of the room and turn right, where you will come across a Dwemer storage room.
Defeat it and move onwards, fighting with moreSpidersandSpheresand clearing the rooms from whatever you consider useful.
Afterwards enter the room where twoCenturionsare lying on the assembly table.
Use the fact that you’re on higher ground and kill all theDwarven Spidersbelow.
Afterwards head down onto the lower level.
Watch another conversation and enterAvanchnzel Boilery.
Cross the room and kill theDwarven Spherethat will cross your way.
Afterwards move to the room with a trap (screen above).
Defeat it and afterwards search its body, the body of his friend and the thief.
Put theLexicononto the pedestal in the middle of the room.
The quest will come to an end and you will have to get out of the dungeon.
Head out of the room using the passage behind theLexiconaltar and unlock the door.
You will return to the main part ofAvanchnzel, to the corridor which you ignored previously.
Kill theSpiderandSphereand head out of the dungeon.
Regardless of which you choose, you will quickly return to the surface.
Apparently theLexiconcreators know how to reward assistance.
