Ragnvald: Otar’s Mad Guardians*
Ragnvald Temple
Battle Draugr and inspect a strange sarcophagus, which has two round divots into which to insert some kind of ceremonial key. Atop the stairs are spears barring your way.
Ragnvald Crypts
Fight more Draugr to reach a ceremonial crypt. Take Saerek’s Skull Key from its pedestal to continue. Guardian Saerek is roused from slumber when you do; defeat him before returning to the Temple area.
- Saerek’s Skull Key
Ragnvald Canal
Defeat more Draugr to reach a second ceremonial crypt. Remove Torsten’s Skull Key from its pedestal to continue. Guardian Torsten is wakened from his rest and attacks you; defeat him before heading back to the Temple.
- Torsten’s Skull Key
Ragnvald Temple (Return)
Once you are back at the sarcophagus, place each skull into the divot slot and prepare for battle. You’ve just released Otar the Mad, the dreaded Dragon Priest the Guardians laid to rest long ago. This is part of the Side Quests: Masks of the Dragon Priests*. Once you are able, run up through the retracting spears atop the steps and into the ceremonial chamber with a Word Wall at the far end. Learn this Word of Power before you leave.
- Otar
- Word of Power: Kyne’s Peace
- Miscellaneous Objective: Unlock the Sarcophagus in Ragnvald
