(tormcloa#, an infamous anti"mperial re$el, along with two less important 01Cs, the re$el

2alof and the thief o#ir. When the wagon arrives in 8elgen and you get off, wait until after

the scene, then step forward when called upon to create your character.


26/92

Character creation in (#yrim is simpler than in any Gethesda 21! $efore. Aou can still fully

customie your character's appearance and name, $ut as for gameplay elements, you no

longer choose a $irthsign or a class. Aour starting stats depend purely on your selected race,

so your character's specialty mostly depends on what s#ills you choose to use in the first

place.

%fter the first prisoner is e;ecuted, 5ust $efore your own e;ecution can ta#e place, a dragon

will appear and #noc# everyone down with a &ragon (hout, then $egin torching the place.

&rop through the floor and head outside to meet up with 8advar, an "mperial soldier that will

offer you a more positive impression of the Empire. 4ollow him through the $urning town,

though you won't $e a$le to do anything $ecause your hands are literally tied.

When you come to the #eep, you'll $e faced with a choice: side with the empire and follow

8advar, or follow 2alof to side with -lfric the (tormcloa# re$els. Aour choice will affect thepath of this particular mission, $ut you can still change allegiances later on, so choose

whichever one you want. Aou will receive the same achievements regardless of which group

you ultimately side with.

4ollow 8advar and he will release your restraints. (earch the $arrac#s for items, specifically

hand, you may wish to collect valua$le items to sell once you get out of here. %pproach the

desired gear from their $odies, then chec# the $arrel they were investigating for some $asicpotions. There's also another potion on the ta$le and a pile of salt, a $asic ingredient in $oth


27/92

coo#ing and alchemy. %s these are all $asic items that can $e found anywhere in the game,

there is little purpose in listing all of them.

9ther items you can find are various types of produce, which can $e eaten for a tiny health

$oost or coo#ed into a meal for a more su$stantial $onus. The same goes for the hanging

animals, whose raw meat can $e harvested and coo#ed to greatly increase its healing. !ra$ asmany weapons, armor, potions, food, ingredients, and #eys as you have use for, as these

items are valua$le commodities. % very useful alchemy ingredient, 2oc# War$ler Eggs, can

also $e found if you loo# into one of the $as#ets. "tems you should pass up include $as#ets,

$uc#ets, $owls, tan#ards, pots, silverware, and $asically anything else of a decorative nature

with a low value.

8ead out the opposite door to get to the other side of the ru$$le in the hallway. &own in the

dungeon, some (tormcloa#s and "mperials will $e fighting. %fter said fight, collect the slain

participants' $elongings. 9n a small ta$le near$y is the Goo# of the &ragon$orn, which has

no function $ut certainly ma#es for an interesting read. Aou can always read it and choose

not to ta#e it with you.

9ptionally, you can try out your loc#pic#ing s#ill $y attempting to unloc# the cages here,

using the loc#pic#s you receive from your friend. The loc#pic# minigame is the same as that

of 4allout B: turn the left stic# to search for the correct angle, then move the right stic# to test

that position. The e;tent to which the loc# turns demonstrates how close to the correct

location you are. "t's a fairly easy minigame, which greatly reduces the usefulness of the

loc#pic# s#ill.

"nside the central cage is a corpse with 09L"CE 899& and 09L"CE 29GE(, $oth useful

items that $enefit your =agic#a, as well as some gold and (1E T9=E: (1%23(, which

will teach you a lightning spell. T9 actually use the spell, you must activate the spell$oo#

from your items menu, which will consume the $oo# $ut add the spell to your magic menu.

Certainly, this loot is not worth passing up.

1roceed through the ne;t hall, and pic# the loc# on the second cell on your right to collect

some gold and loot a s#eleton for $onemeal, a useful alchemical ingredient. 0ote that the new

alchemy system in (#yrim relies on discovering ingredient effects, which will $e stored and

displayed when you select the ingredient. The first of each ingredient's four effects can $e

discovered $y consuming the ingredient, which is usually harmless. 9nly with rare

ingredients that can't $e wasted on consumption should you forgo this test.

1roceed into the hallway and search the s#eletons in the cages for $onemeal and gold.

Continue out through the cave ahead, and you'll come across a larger group of enemies. Aou

have now have a pretty full variety of attac# options: you can wield a twohanded weapon, a

onehanded weapon with a shield, two onehanded weapons, a $ow, or you can use one of

your spells. "n the menu, e/uip each weapon or spell to the desired hand $y pulling the

corresponding trigger.

9nce all the enemies are defeated, loot them. This will surely fill your encum$erance if

you've $een hoarding all of the enemies' loot thus far. "n general, you should drop heavy two

handed weapons and any (tormcloa# armor you've pic#ed up, as these have a lower ratio of

value to weight. Continue to the other side and pull the lever to lower a draw$ridge.


28/92

%fter the $ridge collapses $ehind you, continue on ahead. 4ollow the stream up to a s#eleton

with a little gold and a lantern, which is sadly now a useless item, though =orrowind players

will remem$er that it was once a usa$le light source. %nyway, leave the lantern and continue

down this stream until it leads you to another path with a coin purse near a few $ones.

Ta#e the path here as it diverges from the stream to a nest full of 4rost$ite (piders. (lay thesearachnids and ta#e their 4rost$ite Lenom, which can $e activated from the menu to add an

additional poison effect to your ne;t attac#. Aou may also find 5ewelry or even gemstones on

their $odies, which leads one to /uestion how these items came to reside in the $odies of

giant spiders. Chec# the egg sacs for another alchemical ingredient, (pider Eggs, and the we$

sacs hanging from the ceiling for (#eever Tails.

Continue deeper into the cave. There's a cart with a few useful items inside and more lying

near$y. Aour ally will recommend the use of stealth to avoid the $ear ahead, or use the $ow

and arrows he provides to shoot it from afar. Whether you ta#e that advice is entirely up to

you, $ut if you're going to attac#, aim to ma#e a snea# attac# while in stealth mode for $onus

damage against the $ear. Gears drop Gear Claws, an alchemy ingredient, as well as Gear1elts, which can $e used to ma#e leather for smithing. %lternatively, there is one

miscellaneous /uest that re/uires you to collect + $ear pelts, so you may wish to start saving

up for that /uest now.

%fter slaying the $ear, ta#e the path to the left through a tunnel that leads to the outside. 9nce

you're outside, the dragon from $efore will fly away. Aour friend will ma#e a

recommendation a$out your first destination $efore departing, and the /uest will end.

Completing this /uest earns you the *-n$ound* achievement.

&.&9 +efore the /torm

%fter the last /uest is complete, you can follow your friend to 2iverwood or find it yourself.

"f you follow him, he will continue conversing with you and recommend that you 5oin his

faction ?which $egins the Civil War /uestline@. 8e will also point out landmar#s and stop at

the !uardian (tones to allow you to select one. Choosing a stone grants you the *Glessed*

achievement.

The Warrior (tone increases your level up rate in all com$at s#ills $y 7+M, while the =age

does the same for magic s#ills and the thief for stealth s#ills. 8owever, you may not wish to

select any of these: the faster your s#ills increase, the faster your level goes up, and the faster

the enemies get stronger. Therefore, though you'll $e on the same page as far as levels go,you may not $e a$le to get new and $etter e/uipment /uic#ly enough to #eep up with the rate

of your leveling. "n other words, $oosting your s#ill gain rate can actually ma#e the game a

$it more difficult for you in the long run.

Continue following your ally, and the two of you will $e attac#ed $y wolves. 3ill them and

ta#e their pelts, which can $e used to ma#e leather 5ust li#e $ear pelts. "n fact, nearly any pelt

can $e made into leather. 4ollow your ally 5ust a little further to 2iverwood, after which you

can spea# to him in detail a$out the recent occurances.

To advance the mission, spea# to %lvor ?if your friend was 8advar@ or !urdur ?if you sided

with 2olof@. et your friend spea# or tal# to them yourself. The friend of a friend will offeryou supplies, which you can ta#e as many of as you need. "tems in their home will also $e


29/92

shared with you ?up to a certain value@, meaning that you can ta#e them and it won't $e

considered stealing. They will also offer their home to you: you will $e a$le to sleep in the

$eds here, which will grant a HM $onus to s#ill gain. "n the end, you will $e as#ed to spea# to

the Farl of Whiterun and inform him of the dragon's presence. 8ead to Whiterun to the 0orth

to continue the /uest, $ut first ta#e care of an $usiness you have here, such as selling all the

loot from the last /uest that's 5ust weighing you down.

Aou can reach Whiterun $y crossing the $ridge outside 2iverwood heading to the o$5ective

on your map. 9nce you pass the 8oney$rew =eadary, you may seem some mem$ers of the

Companions fighting a giant. 8elp them out if you wish, then their leader will spea# with you

and direct you to the place where you can 5oin up with them. "f you don't care a$out 5oining

the Companions, you can wal# right on $y.

When you reach Whiterun, head up to the top level ?&ragonsreach@ and spea# with the guard.

Aou can try to negotiate with her, $ut the most o$vious solution is to simply tell the truth

?that 2iverwood needs the Farl's aid@ and she will let you pass. "nside, approach the Farl and

tell him what has happened, and $e sure to mention either %lvor or !erdur if you spo#e tothem. %fter you converse with the Farl, he will give you a gift, a leveled piece of armor. The

higher your level, the higher the grade of the armor will $e, and it will $e either heavy or light

depending on whether your heavy or light armor s#ill is higher.

&.'9 +leak ;alls +arrow

(pea# to 4arengar, the court wiard, and you'll $e send $ac# to Glea# 4alls Garrow to collect

an item called the &ragonstone. To a certain e;tent, this /uest overlaps with the side /uest,

The !olden Claw. %gain, simply go to 2iverwood Trader and spea# with the owner to start

the /uest. &on't $ring the !olden Claw $ac# to him, however, until you've used it to unloc# agate in the $arrow, or you'll have to ta#e it $ac# from him.

4ollow the map mar#er to the $arrow and slay the $andit guard $efore entering. There are

two more such foes inside. 8ead down into the $arrow, and when you see a $andit ahead, you

can simply watch as he pulls a lever that triggers a trap, ta#ing his own life.

!o down into the room to discover a fairly o$vious pule: $efore pulling the lever, you must

find rotate the three icons on the left to match those shown on the upper floor. The only tric#

is that the second one has fallen, $ut is still visi$le on the ground. To ma#e things simpler, "

can tell you to simply turn the left one to the sna#e, the middle one to the sna#e, and the right

one to the dolphin shape. 0ow pull the lever, and the gate will open while you remainunharmed.

Ta#e the spiral staircase down and #ill the wimpy (#eevers that are running up toward you.

%t the $ottom, you'll see what sent them running: there is a large 4rost$ite (pider in the lower

room. Aou can retreat $ac# through the door from which you entered for a reprieve during

the fight, as the spider cannot fit through it. When the spider is slain, loot its $ody and then

cut the we$s around %rvel to free him. 8e will run, $ut you might not want to chase him, as

he's going to storm right into a room full of &raugr, 0ordic undead.

When you head down to fight the &raugr, you can use a spi#e wall trap triggered $y a $utton

in the ne;t hall against the enemies. 4ind %rvel's $ody and search him for the !9&E0C%W, as well as a 5ournal that you can read for some $ac#ground information. %s you


30/92

continue through this crypt, some of the &raugr will rise from their resting places and fight

you, while others remain lifeless corpses that you can loot without a fight.

Aou'll come to a $lade pendulum trap, which you must sprint through with precise timing to

evade damage. "n the ne;t passage, $e careful if you use fire: there is incendiary oil on the

floor here. -se this as yet another trap to employ against the &raugr ahead. Aou'll eventuallycome to a set of stairs leading up to a room with a waterfall in it. 4ight the &raugr, then pull

the chain to open the gate and slide down the stream into a cavern, where a more powerful

enemy awaits. 4ollow the ne;t path to Glea# 4alls (anctum.

Aou'll come to another hall with swinging $lade traps, which you can use against the &raugr

ahead. There's a $ridge ahead with several more &raugr, $ut once they're finished, you can

move on to a pule door. This pule's a $it tric#ier: you must go into the item menu and

inspect the !olden Claw for the answer. The $ear should $e on top, then the moth $elow it,

then the owl on $ottom, then use activate the door ?which also re/uires the !olden Claw@.

"nside, approach the word wall, an ancient stone car
