This is a walk-through of a quest in Skyrim called Lost Legends. It is one of the longer quests in the game where you have to go through several dungeons and fight difficult bosses to gather a quest item. In the end of the quest if you succeed you will get a rare enchanted amulet. The amulet is called "The Gauldur Amulet" which when worn will raise your magicka, health, and stamina by 30 points each. In the game even if you raise your enchanting to the max level you are only able to put on two different enchantments unless you use unnatural means. This can be a very valuable item for the most of the game.
To start the quest you will have to find Folgunthur in the swamps near Morthal, or read the book Lost Legends.
Once you enter the dungeon you will find a room with adventurers and draugr corpses. Continue to advance and slay the draugr until you find a dark elf mage called Daynas Valen.
He will have an Ivory Dragon Claw that you can use to drop the bridge and continue to advance. You should also read his journal or you will have to come back and read it later.
After slaying more draugr you will find several switches to lift a series of gates. All of the handles will need to be facing up except for the back right switch as shown below.
You will then come to a room with another puzzle. In the right room you will find the clue to the left rooms puzzle. You just have to make both sides match in the same order.
When entering the room the order will be snake,
fish/whale,
and eagle.
After you descent the stairs you will find locked wall, which you will unlock with the Ivory Dragon Claw you found earlier. The code is on the underside of the claw, which you can look at in your misc items.
After that you will come to a large room and you will have to fight a boss. The boss is a melee fighter, however his sword has a weak health absorption enchantment. You will also have to fight off various draugr that spawn during the fight. I recommend ranged attacks to keep a distance from him.
After you have defeated him you may retrieve the first quest item from the boss.
At the end you will also find a Dragon Wall which will contain a word for frost breath.
Afterwards you will have to travel to Saarthal to get the next quest item.
However the door will be locked.
To unlock the door you will have to join the mages college in Winterhold. The quest to unlock the door will be the second quest you receive from the college. The first is just a small tour of the college.
Once you have the quest you will be able to enter Saarthal.
During the quest you will be asked to find several enchanted item in the ruins.
If you have the quest marker on it will be easy to find the items.
When you remove an amulet from a wall you will be trapped. To get yourself out you will need to put on the amulet you got off the wall.
You will then see the same wall emit a flame like aura.
You will then have to hit the wall with a flame spell. You start the game with a flame spell, so you don't have to worry about not knowing a flame spell.
After you enter the next room you will see a monk from the Sigic Order. He will basically tell you that you have now caused a chain of events that will unleash a great power. It is basically now your responsibility to stop it.
You will then be swarmed by some draugr, and find some more in the next room.
To move onto the next stage you will pull the chains connected to the big heads to move on.
Be careful of the fire runes trap in the next room. Draugr will also start attacking you. A simple spell, or arrow can also set it off.
Afterwards you will then come to another puzzle. The correct animal is located behind all of the switches. Make sure they all match.
There will then be two lightning runes in the hallway to the next room.
After fighting more draugr there will be another puzzle. This one is the same as the last, except that the podiums will move depending on the order turn them first. When entering the room the proper order will be
far left,
close left,
far right,
and close right.
Once they all match the animal behind them you will flip the switch in the center and find the boss room.
The boss will be invincible at first so just run away at the beginning. Once the boss stops glowing you can attack it. Continue with hit and run tactics when he is glowing until defeated. His weapon will have an absorb magicka enchantment. I had to do a lot of running. :[
Once defeated you can grab the next quest item.
In the treasure room you will find another word of power for ice form.
Now you will have to go to Geirmunds hall.
It is right next to the town Ivarstead.
In the hall you will have to enter a hole.
Once you jump down you won't be able to get back out until the quest is over. I recommend to save before just in case.
The first puzzle you come to is rather confusing. The proper sequence is rather confusing as instead of a square in which they are usually placed, in is shaped more like an L.
Instead I will just name off what you switch toward you in the order that you find them in.
It is bird,
fish/whale,
snake,
and finally fish/whale again.
in the next room you will fight some more draugr, and learn more about the quest.
There will be a key next to the note to unlock the door. If you don't want to use the key you could unlock it yourself with the lockpicking skill.
The next lever you activate will be a trap.
To find the right lever stand right next to the first lever and turn around. It will be hiding in the wall in a blind spot.
You will then enter the boss room. This boss will be an archer with a stamina absorption enchantment.
The boss will constantly conjure up copies of itself in battle. These copies will be destroyed with a single hit, but all of their damage is the same. This will be a hard fight for a close range fighter, as you will lose stamina, and health quickly. This will continue until the boss is defeated.
You may then retrieve the quest item.
These absorb stat weapons are rare and I suggest taking them to disenchant for learning to enchant other weapons yourself later.
Now you will have to go to a cave called Reachwater Rock near Markarth.
The cave will be behind a waterfall.
In the cave take the Emerald Dragon Claw to unlock the first wall.
For the dragon claws the proper order is always on the underside of the item.
Once you have the proper sequence you may unlock the door.
Lots of walls will unlock in succession.
Then you will have to use the Ivory Dragon Claw you found in the first dungeon to unlock the last wall.
Now comes the big boss fight.
During this fight you will have to face all three bosses you fought earlier, however they will all be a lot stronger. I estimate each individual boss will be at least twice as strong. You will be trapped inside the room and have to fight each one consecutively.
They will all be the same except for the last one. Instead of gaining temporary invincibility it will instead summon a frost atronach. As all these three fights will be in succession it will be a hard battle.
Once you have won the epic battle you will be able to claim your prize.
An amulet that is a combination of all three quest item you retrieved earlier all in one.
On the way out you will also find a small treasure trove as a bonus.
I hope you like this walk-through.
