Lost Valkygg Lost Valkygg is an ancient Nordic ruin found in . Location . Lost Valkygg is inside Labyrinthian , which is southeast of Morthal in the mountains . There are two entrances to Lost Valkygg , which are fairly close to each other and near the circular barrow - like building in Labyrinthian where the Wooden Mask is located . The entrances are connected in the dungeon by a " drop " through a floor . Either entrance can be used , but it impossible to access the main door and the larger part of the dungeon through the secondary entrance . It is possible to find and enter the secondary entrance first . The secondary entrance leads to a room with apparently nowhere else to go , and occupied by a very high - level Draugr . To reach the main entrance from the circular building where the Wooden Mask is located , begin by proceeding straight northeast from the mask building . One will reach a wall with a set of ascending stairs ( climbing west to east ) to the right and another set ascending in the same direction to the left . Go up the left set of stairs and turn right ( south ) . Just ahead on the left is another set of ascending stairs . At the top of this second stairs is a pillar of rock on the left . Go past the pillar of rock and turn left . There will be a stack of stones that marks the main entrance , whose doors are partially visible . Descend the short stairs past the stack of stones to the doors . To reach the secondary entrance after exiting from the main entrance , ascend the short set of stairs which lay ahead . Go forward past the tall pillar of rock and turn right ; descend the stairs there . Then turn right ( north ) , then left before the stone bridge to descend the second stairs — these are the same two sets of stairs that were ascended to reach the main entrance . Turn left ( south ) at the bottom of the second stairs . Go forward ( south ) to the next set of ascending stairs on the left . The secondary entrance is at the top of these stairs , diagonally to the right ahead . To reach the main entrance from the secondary entrance , exit the dungeon through the doorway to Skyrim . Turn right immediately . Directly ahead , one will see a set of stairs ascending left - to - right . Proceed to those stairs and ascend . At the top , turn right ( south ) . Then ascend the stairs immediately ahead on the left . At the top is a pillar of rock on the left . Go past the pillar of rock and turn left . Ahead , there will be a stack of stones that marks the main entrance , which is partially visible . Descend the stairs past the stack of stones to the main entrance . Walkthrough . Draugr Deathlords may spawn from the very beginning ( confirmed at level 1 ) . This can make the tomb dangerous for low - level characters . After entering via the main entrance , turn right ( east ) and head down a small flight of stairs before turning right again ( south this time ) . Down some stairs is a window into a room with what seems like an altar and dead enemies ( probably Draugr ) . Collect the salt pile on the " windowsill " and head back to the pathway to the left ( west ) . Beware the three trap triggers on the ground . Before turning further down the path , loot the corner area . Now head left ( south ) down a dark passageway . Turn left again ( this time east ) and one will discover the two " dead " Draugr on the altar are not actually dead . Deal with them and move on . There is nothing straight ahead , so go right ( south ) down another small set of stairs . Loot the urns in the alcove to the left ( south again ) . Now go down the southward passage into a large room . The sarcophagus to the left will not open immediately , rather the Draugr inside will awaken when the battle with two free - roaming Draugr starts . Once all are dealt with , note the alchemy lab in the dark alcove to the right ( north ) . Now head straight through the wooden door to the west . To the left ( south ) is an apprentice - locked trapped gate with urns , a salt pile , and a helmet behind it . The poison - dart trap cannot be disarmed , rather avoided by not stepping on the pressure plate directly in front of the gate . Continuing north , a Draugr will awaken and emerge from his coffin to attack . Kill him and loot the urns next to the pillar in the center of the hallway . Looking into the next room , a Draugr Deathlord will be spotted , but he likely will not spot the Dragonborn right away . This allows the chance of a sneak - attack for extra damage . He tends to walk into the next room , Either wait for him to return or chase after him . Either way , kill him and loot the chest before continuing . ( Note : He wields particularly powerful arrows and a powerful bow . ) In the next room , one may notice that the floor is quite slanted . Head in and loot the boss chest next to the southern wall . Then , head back to the room where the three Draugr were fought . Walk down the hall and turn right ( south ) and go through the passage ( note : There is a somewhat hard - to - see burial urn next to the west wall close to the doorway to this passage . ) There is some gear and another burial urn on the shelf along the north wall . Pull the lever to open the gate . In this small room there is a pickpocket skill book " Aevar Stone - Singer " in this room , as well as an apothecary ' s satchel and a non - lootable skeleton chained to the east wall ( possibly Aevar himself ) . If the Dragonborn takes the potato from the wooden plate on the ground , the skeleton will fall from its chains . At this point , there are two options : First option : return to the room where the Draugr Deathlord was originally found . Immediately next to his chest is a large round hole in the floor . Looking down , there will be another floor below , which is the area otherwise accessible through the secondary entrance . If one jumps down the hole , save the game first . The Dragonborn will likely survive and land in an enclosed room with a second Draugr Deathlord , who will attack immediately . If one has a follower , they will likely not immediately dive down the hole after one has already jumped . Second option : go back through the dungeon and exit through the main entrance , then go around and enter Lost Valkygg through the secondary dungeon entrance . Go down the ramp into a small enclosed area with the second Draugr Deathlord . After the second Draugr Deathlord has been killed , loot the chest on the rock shelf on the opposite side of the room . Exit the room through the door , which can be found at the top of some stairs . This is the secondary entrance and opens to Skyrim .
