Merciless bandits have taken over this remote Orichalcum mine, which lies at Falkreath’s western edge.

Exterior

The bandits have fortified their position around the mine with a wooden wall and several watchtowers. You must enter through the wall’s main gate, which lies to the southwest. Loot a locked chest before scaling some stairs to face powerful bandits near the mine’s entrance. Another locked chest and several crafting stations are found up here.

Bilegulch Mine (Interior)

Avoid hanging rattles as you descend into the mine—they’ll alert the bandits’ nearby leader. Obtain a key from the Bandit Chief and use it to open the nearby chest. Find a Skill Book on a wooden table at the end of the mine shaft, and if you like, dig plenty of Orichalcum Ore from this mine before heading outside.
