Skuldafn South Tower

Tomb

Skuldafn is a Nordic ruin that can only be reached with the help of Odahviing. It is also the location of the portal to Sovngarde. Many powerful draugr will stand in the Dragonborn's path.

Places[ | ]

Skuldafn south Tower[ | ]

This structure is set completely apart from the rest of Skuldafn. It contains several draugr and random loot.

Skuldafn north Tower[ | ]

Another such structure is the northern tower.

Skuldafn Temple[ | ]

This is where you encounter not only many draugr and several Frostbite Spiders, but a Dragon Priest with a Diamond Claw. A word wall for the shout Stormcall is nearby.

Finally confront another such priest named Nahkriin. The latter must be defeated, for his staff opens the the portal to Sovngarde. His mask should also be of interest.
