This frozen cave lies at the eastern reaches of Falkreath. Traveling through it leads to Haemar’s Shame—but you must contend with a number of vicious vampires in this forboding place. You visit this site during Daederic Quest: A Daedra’s Best Friend.

Haemar’s Cavern

Wipe out a vampire’s thrall in the first cavern, then scale a ramp to discover a chest atop the wooden lookout. Avoid a lethal trap by sidestepping a pressure plate in the passage that follows, then slay a vampire and descend some wooden stairs. Battle several vampires in the following area, where you find another chest and an Alchemy Lab. Take a narrow passage to reach a wide cavern, where more vampires prowl. Find a Skill Book on a table in a nook surrounded by shelves, then descend more wooden stairs and proceed to Haemar’s Shame.

Haemar’s Shame

Squash a grotesque Frostbite Spider in the Shame’s entry passage, then advance to a blood-soaked room with a chest and Arcane Enchanter. Navigate the winding passage that follows to reach a wide chamber with several lively vampires, including their powerful master. Clear the room, then check behind the large statue to find a giant chest. Pull a nearby wall chain to open an exit passage that leads outside.
