This is a much simpler shard to get to, simply travel to Mzulft (itвЂ™s at the base of the mountains located south-east of Windhelm. Pick it up and then exit via the nearby lift back to Skyrim! Shard 3: Dwarven Storeroom (Mzulft) В¶ Now press the button and get ready to fight a powerful Centurion boss! Once the boss is dead, raid the chest behind it for loads of goodies (inlcuding leveled enchanted weapons).ДЇinally, go through to the next room and youвЂ™ll soon find the next shard. The one one cog thatвЂ™s easy to miss is the one in the pool of water, so jump in, swim to the gear and take the bones out.

The next room is a mini-puzzle room and can be solved easily by removing the human bones from each of the stuck cogs dotted around the room. When you reach the four buttons, push the 3rd, 4th then 2nd switches only (pushing the 1st generates a long fire-breathing trap).

Be extra careful when you reach the steep steps (where the steam is coming out from) as you can very easily trigger the super-powerful ballista trap (it can do a lot of damage). Fight through the linear path and youвЂ™ll soon reach the lever that takes you to the Raldbthar Deep MarketДodge the spinning blades on the stairs, enter the double-doors and take out all Falmers that you see down here (thereвЂ™s a few chests and potions to pilfer whilst youвЂ™re there). Be careful of the double spinning-blades on the stairs trap. Keep pushing onwards and your enemies will now be of the Dwarven metal kind, so be extra careful of the spheres you encounter. Now head through the open gate, and if youвЂ™re feeling confident thereвЂ™s a Master Lock thatвЂ™s blocking off access to the the and various bars and metals. Otherwise, read the book called вЂ™ 2920 Last Seed V.8 вЂ™ on the nearby shelf for a boost to your Sneak stats. YouвЂ™ll soon reach a large room with numerous Bandits in it (thereвЂ™s ballistas up on the upper floor and you can sneak up there via an expert-locked door), kill them all and loot Alain Dufont if you want his enchanted weapon. Follow these to the top, kill the enemies outside and then once youвЂ™re in, work your way left and through the Bandits that are littering the entrance. ThereвЂ™s a mountain south-west of AgnaвЂ™s Mill, this is where you need to head, so get your bearings, follow the river up and on your left you should see steps leading up to the snowy mountain. ThisвЂ™ll unlock the gates at either side, so nip in and claim your first shard! YouвЂ™ll then be told that thereвЂ™s three others to find. The order to shoot the kinetic resonators in the following order: Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right, Top-Left, Top-Right, Middle YouвЂ™ll need a bow and arrows for this puzzle, so if you have your own then great! If not, then find the adventurerвЂ™s corpse and loot it for a bow and arrows. IN front of you is a puzzle that needs solving! Tonal Lock В¶ Pick it up as it offers a nice +30% boost to bow shot speeds!ДЇrom here head up the path to your right and then run down into the centre of the massive open room.

ThereвЂ™s a log a bit further round thatвЂ™s hanging off a cliff and on it is her bow. Now itвЂ™s a pretty linear run through a cavern filled with Falmers so kill every enemy you see as you push your way up the cave.Д®ventually youвЂ™ll reach an open area where youвЂ™re told how your ghostly-friend came to pass. YouвЂ™ll soon come to a locked gate that is opened when the device on the other side spins around so be sure to nip through ASAP.ДЄround the corner will reveal another device and a locked gate, so hit the kinetic resinator with your weapon to open the gate ahead of you. With the ghost in tow, head down to the platform below you (via the path on the left), run down the pipes and search her corpse for her journal and a few extras. In fact after collecting the first shard, the remaining three will be placed in certain cities that may not even be found yet on your playthrough. This is quite a long quest with a fair few areas that you need to travel between.
