Revision as of 18:23, 1 April 2015
Blind Cliff Cave is a cave located in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This is a Forsworn Dungeon which is divided into three areas: Cave, Towers and Bastion. It is located east of the Lover Stone and northeast of Markarth. If approached from the top of the mountain, there is a small opening in both towers that allows access to the Bastion without going through the cave.
Summary
Cave
The cave is a small vertical dungeon. There are six Forsworn there. Dispose of or sneak by them to gain entrance to Towers.
- The Refugees skill book is on top of a chest at the very top of the ramp/stairs before the turn to the top exit, in a dark section.
Tower
Towers is an outdoor section similar to many towers across Skyrim. The lower tower has a ground level window that allows entry without going through the cave. Pull the lever and the gate opens. There are three Forsworn in the area. Continue to the other side of the bridge. There is a locked gate that cannot be opened yet, so continue to the Bastion. The upper tower also has a ground level window which allows entry without going through the cave or lower tower.
Bastion
Blind Cliff Bastion is a small dungeon. In the beginning, there is a Hagraven named Melka in a cage. She will ask the Dragonborn to free her, and kill her sister Petra, who has taken over her Bastion. Pull the chain near the cage and she will be freed. Melka will not turn hostile and will even assist/tell how to get past the various traps in this section. There are five Forsworn in the dungeon and the hagraven Petra. Kill them all, and Melka will give as a reward the Eye of Melka, a unique staff. There is an alchemy lab past the swinging blades.
Just before arriving to the alchemy lab is a hidden door, (opened by activating a handle next to it), which leads back to the cage portion where there is a chest, two urns, two iron ingots and one each corundum, moonstone and quicksilver ingot. In the last room is a barred door, this leads to the extreme top of the upper tower and has two burial urns, drop down into the tower to find two chests.
