You have to search for lost expedition members at Nchuand-Zel excavation site near Markarth.
During your exploration you will have to find logs and defeat many monsters.
There will be a mini-boss among them, a giant spider called Nimhe.
The less obvious solutions are breaking into the excavation by using lockpicks or stealing the mentionedkeyfromCalcelmo.
Personally I wouldn’t recommend such option, as eliminating the spider will prove necessary either way.
Start exploring the excavation site.
Your objective is reaching the its south-west part.
Kill the lesserFrostbite Spiderthat you come across and destroy the spider-webs with any weapon or spells.
Inside the main room you will need to fight the biggest spider who Calcelmo mentioned,Nimhe.
Note that therefore you gained access to the door leading to the main area ofNchuand-Zel.
It’s somewhat of a hub, so you will visit this location multiple times.
For now head south, staying on the wide bridge and eliminating theFalmersyou come across on your way.
Eventually you should reach the marked door in the south-east part of the cave, leading toNchuand-Zel Quarters.
Some more demanding fights withFalmersawait you here.
the door leading to the main area ofNchuand-Zel.
Head to the previously ignored exit from the Armory.
pop fire up large gate to return to the main area ofNchuand-Zel.
Most of all, you should of course takeKrag’s Journal.
New main objective: Re-activate Nchuand-Zel’s automated defenses
Head south, eliminating moreSpideron your way.
Be careful as you fight theSpider Guardians, as they’re capable of shocking their targets with electricity.
With time,Dwarven Sphereswill join the fights.
It’s good to keep them at distance, as they specialize in direct combat.
Start off by heading back to the starting point of the control room you’re currently in, i.e.
the door leading to the main part ofNchuand-Zel.
Head towards the gate leading to theNchuand-Zel excavation site, eliminating theFalmersandDwarven Spidersthat you come across if needed.
Now you oughta head through the whole excavation, though you shouldn’t meet any new enemies here.
After getting back toUnderstone Keep, findCalcelmo.
Start off by informing him of killing the spider Nimhe to receive theDwemer Museum Key.
It’s however more important to tell him of the recovered journals (screen above).
In this case you should receive1250 goldand the quest itself will end.
