Background
"Long ago, the Archmage Gauldur was murdered by his three sons, who stole his amulet of power and divided it among themselves."

Walkthough
Saarthal

Defeat Jyrik in Saarthal, by the orb, and take his Writ of Sealing and his Gauldur Amulet Fragment. Read the writ to start the next quest point. Go to the Arcaenum and read the ((book name here)) to get the next clue about the origin of the Gauldur Amulet Fragment.

Folgunthur

Travel to Folgunthur and read the journal of Daynas Valen. It will tell you about his travels with the Ivory Dragon Claw. He traveled to Folgunthur looking for the Amulet. Follow him inside, past the corpse of his compatriot. He will be lying on a Claw button next to a bridge. Take the Claw and his notes, read them, and activate the button to cross the bridge. Similar to Bleak Falls Barrow, you will have to use the Claw's closeup to determine the answer to the puzzle. Once inside, fight Mikrul ((lastnamehere)), and take his Gauldur Amulet Fragment.

Geirmund's Hall

Geirmund's Hall is a dungeon close to Ivarstead, grave of the hero Lord Geirmund. Travel there and pass two puzzles, then face Sigdis ((lastnamehere)), the hardest of the three sons. There are four sigils on the ground in the cave where you fight him. He will teleport to whichever three you are furthest away from and make two copies of himself. All three will attack you. If you attack one of the clones, it will dissipate after one hit, and after both clones have died Sigdis will teleport away again. It is possible to tell Sigdis apart from his clones because he is the only one with the true health amount; the clones will have full health. For this reason, it is wise to get a few hits in on him when he is exiting his grave, before he begins teleporting. After you have killed him, take the last Gauldur Amulet Fragment.

Gauldur's Grave

Finally, go to Reachwater Rock, near Karthspire. Inside, you will find a dead Adventurer near the Emerald Dragon Claw, on a pedestal on top of a note warning you away from the site. Throw caution to the wind and enter regardless, of course, using the key inscribed on the Emerald Claw. Inside will be yet another Claw door, this time using the Ivory Claw's puzzle. Then place the three amulet fragments on the pedestals. The ghost of each son will appear, and you will have to fight each one in turn. Sigrid will attempt the same tactics as before, disappearing and reappearing to shoot arrows at you, only he has 6 spots to choose from and will use 4 of them. Take advantage of his teleports to abuse the wait function, restoring your health. After him, Jyrik will appear, and will summon an Ice Atronach to help him, occasionally teleporting around. Once all three have been defeated, they will appear back above the pedestal and then vanish. Archmage Gaudur will appear, and reforge the Gaudur Amulet Fragments into The Gaudur Amulet.
