==Bugs==
* The pillar puzzle may not turn properly when activated, to fix this reload the cave.
* As this dungeon can be entered several times for different quests, sometimes the object of the venture cannot be obtained, and the quest cannot be finished. For example, if Rjorn's Drum is picked up the first time in the cairn without having activated that quest, the quest to find it can not be completed. Or, if entered after the first time to kill the leader (Companion's repeatable quest) killing the Dragon Priest that spawns instead of Halldir does not complete the quest.
* Halldir may spawn completely invisible for no apparent reason, along with his copies.
* As you kill each of the copies, you may sometimes loot his body before all the energies flow away. This allows the Dragonborn to loot him a total of four times.
