Exterior

In the northeast reaches of Falkreath, a coven of nefarious witches have occupied a sizeable cave. You visit this site during two different quests, for very different reasons. At the entrance, prepare to fight a mage (and mages inhabit this cave complex if you aren’t specifically hunting for Hagravens as part of the Companions Quests.

Door to Skyrim

Main Cavern

Discover a locked chest in the dark nook of the cave’s first passage from the entrance. Then expect a vicious animal and Hag (or Mage) fight in this main cavern. When the coast is clear, look around the room for four separate tunnels (in addition to the entrance tunnel). Finding them is half the fun; don’t confuse them during your exploration!

  • Chest [Novice]

Spiked Pole Lair

Accessed via the ground tunnel to the north of the Main Cavern. This leads to a small cave with a row of spiked poles, a few ingredients, and a baying enemy to slay.

Spider Lair

Accessed via the upper tunnel to the north of the Main Cavern. This opens to a cave with a ferocious animal that sometimes moves into the Main Cavern. Check the skill book on the table with the Arcane Enchanter.

  • Arcane Enchanter
  • Skill Book (Enchanting): A Tragedy in Black

Fetid Pond Lair

Accessed via the upper tunnel to the west of the Main Cavern. A winding tunnel opens up into the largest of the lairs, with a small pond of murky water. Expect a Hagraven (and familiar) here, or a Mage, close to a Forsworn tent and various plunder:

  • Potions
  • Chest

Waterfall Lair

Accessed via the lower tunnel to the west of the Main Cavern. A narrow tunnel leads to the final antechamber, complete with a small waterfall and a final foe. This is otherwise empty.
