Inside the temple, the hero will have to solve new puzzles and battle more monsters (m.in.
a Draugr Overlord).
The ultimate goal of visiting the temple is to reach an area with an active portal.
I’d recommend saving your game, as you’re in for a series of quite demanding fight.
Temporarily ignore the hostiledragonthat will appear above the area and focus on the other monsters.
Apart from a “normal"Draugryou will also encounter threeRestless Draugrs(screen above).
Attack them one at a time, especially looking out for the one capable of using magic.
Take care of thedragononly after eliminating all the Draugrs, so that they won’t disturb you.
If your character doesn’t have high fire resistance, you should also look out for the fire attacks.
The local ruins will come in handy, as you could use them as cover.
Fight the dragon using your favourite tactic until you slay him.
After the battle, of course absorb the soul and search its body.
Just like before, it’s a good idea to use theDragonrendShout.
Also don’t forget to avoid the dragon’s ice attacks by hiding behind the nearby covers.
After the battle, absorb the dragon soul, check its body and head further south.
On your way you will come across the entrance toSkuldafn South Tower.
Inside the Tower, you will encounterDraugrs,Restless DraugrsandDraugr - Wight(screen above).
Be especially careful with the last one, as he’s noticeably stronger than the other monsters.
On your way, you will regularly come across new monsters.
The commonDraugrsshouldn’t pose too much of a threat, though you should consider eliminating the archers from afar.
Just like before, keep an eye on theDraugr - Wightand don’t let him surprise you.
Luckily, eliminating the other monsters in this area shouldn’t cause you that much trouble.
The same implies to the altar guarded by theDraugr-Wraight.
It’s better to choose the corridor on the right, as the left contain pressure plates activating traps.
Soon you should reach a bigger room.
There, start off by eliminating the magic-usingRestless Draugrand afterwards deal with the two normalDraugrs.
Start off by approaching the western pillar.
Turn it so that the fish sign is turned towards an identical one on the western wall.
you gotta do the same with the eastern pillar, i.e.
the snake sign has to point towards and identical one on the wall.
In the end get to the middle pillar and make the snake sign point towards the northern lever.
Approach the lever and look at the pillars.
It’s however completely optional, as you would only gain access to a chest with mediocre items.
Therefore its' best to just follow the north-west passage.
After reaching the new tomb, start off by dealing with the magic-usingRestless Draugr.
confirm you eliminated all the monsters and only afterwards head through the western passage (screen above).
Soon you should come acrossFrostbite Spiders.
Head east, using any weapon or magic to create a passage by destroying the spider-webs.
Be ready for eliminating moreFrostbite Spiderson your way.
Additionally you will have to destroy some webs to gain access to the southern chest.
Eventually you should reach a door in the east, leading into a bigger room (screen above).
More pillar-turning awaits you now, though this time they will be in different parts of the room.
The first pillar is opposite to the entrance (screen above).
By default it has an eagle on it, but you have to turn is to a snake.
Go up the stairs onto the upper level and temporarily ignore the lever.
Head towards the pillar in the northern part of the room (screen above).
Return to the upper balcony and for a change head south (screen above).
Afterwards return to the lever and interact with it to lower the drawbridge (screen above).
Afterwards head east and use the door leading to the second part of theSkuldafn Temple.
Head to the nearest room, in which you will have to fight both normal andRestless Draugrs.
As for the monsters using magic and bows, venture to quickly reduce the distance to them.
Soon you should reach a room with a staircase.
Be careful while battling him, as he can deal considerable damage.
It’d worth to consider attacking from a distance, as close combat is his specialty.
Afterwards be sure to check his body, collecting theDiamond Clawrequired for the next puzzle.
Approach the locked northern gate.
In the end use the Claw itself to unlock the passage.
Start eliminating theDraugrsthat have appeared on your radar before.
You however need to be careful, as they will mostly beDraugrs - Wrights(screen above).
Try not to move too far too fast, as you would just draw all of them.
attempt to eliminate all the Draugrs on the roof using that method.
BE SURE to save you game, as the most important part of the quest is about to begin.
