These ancient ruins lie at the northeast corner of Hjaalmarch’s massive ruin network, Labyrinthian ([2.23]). Lost Valkygg is unique in that it’s part of Labyrinthian but also considered a separate Primary Location that can be explored at any time. Lost Valkygg features two entrances that are easy to reach by navigating Labyrinthian’s exterior ruins. Both entrances remain unlocked at all times.

Pressure Plate Passage

Place three objects onto the three pressure plates in this passage to keep them depressed and open the way forward. You’ll return to collect these items soon.

  • Potion

Quiet Chamber

Avoid hanging rattles and sneak through this small chamber to avoid stirring the mighty Draugr that rest on the central slab. Loot a few urns on your way to [3].

  • Danger! Bone Alarm Trap

Sarcophagi Hall

The slightest noise causes Draugr to burst out from sarcophagi here. Use an Alchemy Lab if you like, then pop into the south chamber and pull a lever to open a holding cell. Claim a Skill Book from the ground near the skeleton.

  • Apothecary’s Satchel
  • Loose gear

Locked Gate Passage

Unlock an Apprentice-level gate in this passage to reach loose gear and a few urns, but beware the pressure plate on the ground before the gate.

  • Danger! Dart Trap (pressure plate)
  • Loose gear

Pit Cavern (Upper Level)

A deadly Draugr guards a tantalizing chest in this cavern. Before carefully dropping down the large pit to reach [6], enter the northwest doorway to find another, larger chest that’s tucked away near a sloping portion of floor.

  • Chests (2)

Pit Cavern (Lower Level)

It’s possible to enter Lost Valkygg from its lower exit door. If you do, then you’ll appear in this final room, where another mighty Draugr guards a chest that sits on a high ledge. There’s no climbing back up the pit, so take your leave of Lost Valkygg.
