Walkthrough
The map is pretty simple so there is no need to write which way to go. At first you'll run into one or two Draugrs. If you have the will, you can loot every unmoving Draugr in their resting place and collect a bunch of gold. Don't forget to loot the numerous urns.

Upon your approach to the circular chamber with animal runestones, Golldir will tell you something about his aunt Agna telling him that "The bear would show the way". Look around and you'll see the bear runestone. On its right side is a hanging lever. Once you pull it, a door will open on one of the coffins.

In the last chamber, take a good look at the numerous number of closed tombstones. Yeah, well, once Vals Veran shows up, he'll open them all up one by one unless you kill him. If you want to go with the optional quest, it'd be handy if you have a Companion with you.

If by chance Golldir survives, you get Hillgrund's Chest Key that opens the chest behind the last door. If you didn't get it, you can always pick the lock (I don't know if you can loot it off his body, cause I got the key from Golldir). The lock-level on the chest is Expert so you can always play with that.

Upon the exit, Golldir will thank you for helping him and tell you that he'll stay here and when you exit the tomb, you can have him as a Companion.
