Quest Objectives

The Arch-Mage has told you that Mirabelle will know where the Staff of Magus that you need to control the Eye is located. You are to speak to her to find out more.

Walkthrough

Speak with Mirabelle Ervine

Follow the quest marker to Mirabelle and speak with her. When you ask her about the Staff, she will begin to get evasive, but keep pushing her and she will eventually tell you that she doesn't know but some Imperials from the Synod came by and eventually left empty handed. Though not before finding out that the ruins of Mzulft held the asnwer to finding the Staff of Magus.

Find the Ruins of Mzulft

The ruins are located southeast of Windhelm. Make your way there and enter the dungeon. At the first room, you will see a dying Synod researcher in the corner.

Search for the Synod researchers

Immediately after entering the first room, you will be given a quest to search for the Synod researchers. Just speak to the one dying on the floor and he will give you your next quest before expiring. You can't proceed further without the key that the dying researcher will give you.

Reach the Oculory

You have been instructed to make your way to the Oculory, deep within Mzulft. Open the door and go up the ramp and around the corner. In the corridor with brass fencing on either side, be wary of the pressure plate at the start that will cause spikes to come down from the ceiling. At the end of the trapped corridor is a dead Synod researcher. Continue around the corridor and there will be two Dwarven Spider Workers in the corridor beyond.

Keep going down the corridor and up a ramp into a room where you will be ambushed by two more Spider Workers. Open the door, go up another ramp and when you round the corner and head down that corridor a bit, you will be ambushed by yet another Spider Worker. Kill it and head through the door and you will find yourself in a cave system. At about the middle of the first passage, there will be an alcove with some Moonstone Ore veins and a pickaxe nearby.

Continue down the passage and you will come to a cavern with some saffolding and a Chaurus there. Dispatch the Chaurus and continue down the passageway. Almost immediately past the shadowy part of the passage, will be a tripwire that triggers a rockfall up ahead. Further down, the passage will open into another cavern with a couple of Chaurus in it. If you time it right you can retreat and use the rockfall to damage the Chaurus for you. When they are dead, go up the earth ramp and back into the ruins.
