Right after completing the sidequest, return to its giver and ask him about other orders.
The warrior states that it is time for your last test before officially joining the Companions clan.
You have to find fragment of Wuuthrad.
It is worth noting that you’ll be accompanied by previously met Farkas.
New primary objective: Speak to Farkas
FindFarkasand start conversation with him (screen above).
Your target isDustman’s Cairn, located west fromWhiterun(screen above).
If you’ve already discovered this location then it is best to use fast travel option.
Otherwise I suggest getting there by following main path leading west and turning north after reachingFort Greymoor.
Use the eastern corridor.
After reaching catacombs you’ll encounter monsters - different types ofdraugr.
He can also cast powerful spells.
Before further exploration of this location, you should know one thing.
These monsters shouldn’t attack you, unless you use any area effect skill.
But you’re able to also eliminate them, even for improving your own skills.
Continue exploration, choosing the northern corridor (screen above), leading to the door.
Go east and after a while you should get to larger chamber.
You might of course look around here.
After that, go to the north-eastern part of the room (screen above).
Pull a lever, which closes local grate.
But as you’re able to see in a distance, south-eastern passage is now unlocked.
You’ll face now quite interesting cutscene, withFarkasand members of a group calledSilver Hand, hostile to Companions.
A good idea is rapid elimination of these enemies, who are less tough and die after few blows.
Turn east and then turn north, reaching two doors.
After opening them you’ll find yourself in another large chamber.
Look around the room, because you might find here a masterly secured chest with very valuable items.
Finally, choose the southern passage (screen above).
In the next room go down the stairs and head towards the southern door.
After winning the fight, choose southern door and then turn west.
Watch out for a pressure plate on the stairs, which triggers a trap with poisoned arrows.
After the fight, head to the door leading to theDustman’s Crypt.
Once you get to a new place, aSilver Handwarrior will attack you.
Eliminate him and go to the next chamber, reaching some kind of bridge.
On your way there you’ll encounter a closed door, but there are no valuable items behind it.
If there are still anyopponentsor you haven’t fought them yet, you have to eliminate them now.
Use it to unlock the northern gate.
you’re free to go further.
You’ll be attack byskeeveron your way, but he is not a challenge for you.
After winning the fight use antidotes if needed and head north.
Prepare to eliminate newdraugrand again watch out for arestless draugr.
Pass through caverns and choose a western corridor.
you’ve got the option to also pick up somecure potions.
Finally collect theWuuthrad fragmentmarked by the game (screen above).
