This is straightforward, simply head up the ramps, killing ghosts as you go. Head to the other side of the cavern, dispatching any ghosts that appear. Note now that there is a blue magical bridge, but only half of one. You will jump down a ledge and head back through the alleys into the main cavern. Take them out, and go through the door back to the cavern. Behind some crates, at the end of this room, will be a lever. Go through the door into the old mineshaft. You can ignore it, after all, why would the dragonborn be scared, he has no idea what a train is, trains aren't real you idiot. Halfway through this bridge, a train whistle will sound and a light behind you will appear. Go across the boards suspended over the pit, past the waterwheel, and reach the adjacent bridge. Don't fall, and progress to the end of this bridge. You'll be on an old cart bridge, suspended over a bottomless pit. Now head forward, until you reach the door at the end, go through it into the cavern. The second one will go by (heading to the left), rush past it and head down to the right. Wait for the first to go by, rush to the left into the small transition area. Touching them does serious damage, so avoid them at all costs. Here you will encounter haunted minecarts that move back and forward down a thin corridor. Progress, and enter into the Minecart alleys. Head to the left, down the ramp and over to the left end of the cavern. You will be on top of a large scaffold, with two paths to follow. Deal with them, and head into the next room.ĭespite this cavern's large size, most of it can be ignored. Your only enemy in this dungeon are Poltergeist Miners, these are ghost will low health, who hit hard. Spooky sounds will often indicate that enemies, will appear. Head to and enter Stonehole Mine, the first room is straightforward, and there's only one door to progress.
It's marked on your map now, but the quest marker will ONLY lead you to it, it's not gonna tell you how to progress. Upon doing so, the gear (called a pneuma) will speak to you, telling you to go southwest of Dawnstar, to a place called Stonehole Mine.
Search Llavados' body and pick up the glowing gear from it, it's the only thing on him so really if you miss it, you're an idiot. Talk to him, listen to what he has to say, and he'll then kill himself. This is Llavados, and he'll be your guide from now on. Upon fast travelling to a settlement (I recommend Riverwood, it's the most reliable), a strange elf in glowing robes and mechanical equipment will approach. RECOMMENDED ITEMS: Torches, some form of lighting, speed or health things.
