"Should have know better than to swim all the way to the falls. Please, get me out of here!"
Derkeethus[src]

Extracting an Argonian is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in which the Dragonborn must rescue Derkeethus, an Argonian miner from Darkwater Crossing, who has become trapped in Darkwater Pass.

Objectives

  1. Find Derkeethus
  2. Get Derkeethus out of the cave

Walkthrough

Enter Darkwater Pass and turn left. There is a chest to the right near the entrance as well as a burial urn. Follow the path until coming to a waterlogged clearing. Here you will face off against some leveled Falmer foes. Take the path that is on the right. You will encounter a chaurus here. Go up the stairs until you reach a room with two doors and a trapdoor in the middle. Looking down the trap door, you can see Derkeethus.

In the room to the left, to the right of the entrance is a discrete lever that is extremely hard to see. Pull it and a stone wall opens up. Follow it down until you see Derkeethus. A conversation prompt will start and he asks you to rescue him. You can either pick the expert level lock or search the burial urn just inside his cell for the key. Escort him out of the cave and back to Darkwater Crossing. He will then tell you that he wishes to follow you on journeys in the future.
