Frostmere Crypt is an ancient Nordic tomb in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Located southwest of Dawnstar, close to the Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon and also directly south from Mzinchaleft, this dungeon is accessed during the quest "The Pale Lady." It has two levels: Frostmere Crypt and Frostmere Depths. Within the latter is a word wall for the dragon shout Ice Form.

Interior

Although generally styled as a Nordic tomb, the place is inhabited by a group of bandits, who live in the Frostmere Crypt area. Because of their presence, there are numerous bed rolls and dressers scattered about the area.

Along side several, more obvious, chests (with various lock strengths) that are scattered around the crypt, there are two hidden chests. One, master-locked and located in Frostmere Depths, can be found by heading left just before the altar and following the path around. The second (adept-locked) can be found in the submerged room after exiting Frostmere Depths. It is located at the bottom of the room, next to a table which has a leveled weapon on it (there is also a piece of leveled armor within this room).

The crypt itself is fairly straightforward to navigate and contains only a couple of traps. Most notably, there is an arrow trap in the hallway leading to the submerged room. The only enemies encountered within the dungeon are leveled bandits and the Pale Lady.

Trivia

  • If sneaking and undetected, one can overhear conversations between bandits as the Dragonborn explores the ruin:

Bandit 1 "But...Eisa? She's smarter than that."
Bandit 2 "Ra'jirr was always dragging her into things."
Bandit 1 "But..Stealing the boss' sword? Did he have a death wish?"
Bandit 2 "Who knows. The cat was crazy. She was a fool to trust him."

Bandit 1 "What? There's a whole shift down there!"
Bandit 2 "Kyr's orders. Nobody goes in or out until he gets back. Or the boss will skin you when he's done with Ra'jirr."
Bandit 1 "Gods, what a mess."

Bandit 1 "The boss went down there? Today?"
Bandit 2 "Yeah, he's after Ra'jirr - I've never seen him so angry."
Bandit 1 "I've got a bad feeling about this...something's just felt wrong down there lately. Eerie."
Bandit 2 "Now you're starting to sound like the cat. Be going on about the Pale Lady next."

Bandit 1 "Something's wrong...boss' been down there too long."
Bandit 2 "Yeah...Let's wait a little longer. Then..."

  • The forest part of the ruins is considered outdoors, therefore it can be fast-traveled from.
  • The bandits in Frostmere Crypt do not respawn.
  • Frostmere Crypt is the only Ancient Nordic ruin that does not contain draugr.confirmation needed
