Ansilvund



Ansilvund is one of the many dungeons in Skyrim. It is located north of Riften and the approach is guarded by a high-level mage. Repeated visits to the site will reveal a succession of these mages.

NPCs

 * Lu'ah Al-Skaven

Ansilvund Excavation
The Excavation is the first set of chambers inside the mine area. Many magic prone opponents and draugrs infest the cavern.

Puzzle: To enter the Burial Chamber, read Lu-ah's Journal pointing at Of Fjori and Holgeir. Reading the latter reveals the switch order is Eagle, Snake, Whale, Snake.

Ansilvund Burial Chambers
The burial chambers are the innermost chambers of the site and also where Lu'ah Al-Skaven is finally encountered face-to-face.

Tip: Navigating some of the traps with a follower can be accomplished by using command mode, and pointing the follower to where to wait.
