Haemar's Shame

Page needs lots of work. Seems whomever edited it last does not know how to link correctly.

Description This cave is just off of the main road that goes through mountain pass connecting Helgen to Ivarstead. The cave is southwest of Ivarstead and northeast of Helgen. The cave is divided into two sections, Haemar's Shame and Haemar's Cavern. It is infested by vampires and holds a shrine to the Daedric Prince Clavicus Vile.

Haemar's Cavern Entering the cave, the Dragonborn finds it filled with snow. The area is comprised of several large connected caverns with some man-made wooden structures and furniture set in place. In one of the caverns there is an Alchemy Lab.

Haemar's Shame Another cave entrance leads into the next portion of the cave system. As the Dragonborn enters there will be a Frostbite Spider. One of the rooms contains an Arcane Enchanter. The final large room is a large worked stone room with a shrine and statue dedicated to Clavicus Vile</a>. Past the shrine are some iron bars which open onto a ledge overlooking the road outside. The gate is initially closed, so to lower the bars use the (quite-hard-to-find) chain on the wall to the right side of it.

Notes

<ul><li>If you enter this cave for the first time while doing the quest A Daedra's Best Friend</a> and then leave the cave immediately without following Barbas</a> further into the cave, you can return a day or two later to find that he has killed all of the enemies in the final room of the cave which contains the shrine of Clavicus Vile</a>, including the Master Vampire. This makes the final room fight redundant for the player and is a good strategy for those at low levels.</li></ul>
