Nchardak

Nchardak

Nchardak is a large half-sunken Dwarven ruin located north-east of Tel Mithryn on the eastern coast of Solstheim. A group of Reavers (×7) now camp in the ruins.

Initially, the main gate to the complex cannot be opened until The Path of Knowledge.

Places

Nchardak Reading Room

Initially the Black Book is not accessible.

After properly placing the five key cubes in the Great Chamber the Black Book: Epistolary Acumen becomes accessible here.

Nchardak Great Chamber

Reached via elevator from the Reading Room. Initially most of the chamber is deep under water, but some diving will already reveal some loot.

After the Dragonborn has five key cubes, placing one up top to have water down enough to place the other four in the switches below will lower a bridge with a centurion waiting behind him is a few things to loot head back to the top to Activate the switche to get the Black Book in the Reading Room.

Tip: But if the Dragonborn places two cubes at the top switches, and then another cube in the southern small room, this will drain the water three times. Letting the Dragonborn open the door of a broken elevator for a Dwemer chest 850 value (L72) and also makes four Malachite Ore Veins minable.

Nchardak Workshop

The Workshop is the first stop on the quest for find more of the key cubes, just off the Great Chamber.

Nchardak Aqueduct

After entering the room use the switches to lower all three bridges, leading to another switch to lower the water level. On the western side of the chamber, you'll find the cube, past some traps. On the northern side, there is some minor loot behind the waterfall. On the eastern side, after climbing the ledges, is a hidden room containing some minor loot and a Kagrumez Resonance Gem.

Tip: Once the water level has been raised twice, return to the three switches and have the switches 1st face right 2nd towords you 3rd face you and bring up all three bridges again, this opens another secret room to the south-east. Swim back and forth.
