Exterior

At the foot of the sharp, rocky slopes north of Raven Rock is the entrance to a Draugr tomb, now controlled by Reavers. There are two towers on the beach, one connected by an ancient stone bridge to the barrow interior.

Northern Tower

Expect around six Reavers as you investigate the ruins, heading for the lit torch at the base of the northern tower. This leads up to a second-floor stone bridge to the next tower and a wooden ramp up to sleeping quarters.

Southern Tower

Cross the stone bridge to reach a bed, chest, and steps up to a table with potions and an exit ramp that leads to the main stone bridge leading into Bloodskal Barrow. Or, continue into the tower, checking a living area with a cooking pot and a few bits of Chitin armor. Climb the stairs up to the roof. Here, you can find an Alchemy Lab, three tanning racks, and some books. Up more steps is a rickety wooden platform back to the otherwise inaccessible roof chamber of the Northern Tower.

Northern Tower (Return)

Drop down and check the bed, chest [Adept], and scrawled note on the table.

  • Chest [Adept]
  • Scrawled Note

Interior

Door to Solstheim

Corpses Fresh and Fetid

The initial part of this Draugr crypt, now overrun by three or four Reavers, has a couple of strewn corpses with common clothing on their backs.

  • Reaver

Corpse Fire

The Reavers have been burning the dead.

Reaver Camp

Expect the majority of the combat to occur here. Check the area for a bed, assorted books and food, coin purses, and the following:

Secret Tunnel (from Raven Rock Mine)

The barrow ends at a rock wall that looks like it may move. It is activated via a pull chain on the opposite side: This is actually the exit from Raven Rock Mine. You must complete Solstheim Side Quest: The Final Descent to fully explore this area
