Glenmoril Coven is a cave northwest of Falkreath. When first visited, the cave is occupied by hags. During the Companions' quests Blood's Honor and Purity, the Glenmoril Witches will be present. They are a group of hagravens who know how to cure Lycanthropy.
Walkthrough[]
Guarding the outside of the cave is a relatively low-level hag who will immediately turn hostile towards the Dragonborn on-sight. Upon entering the cave, there is a tunnel leading to a large cavernous room containing a hag and a random creature (troll, skeever or a frostbite spider), patrolling the fire in the center. On the pathways on the left and right hand side leading up to a second layer, there is a second random enemy guarding the entrance to another tunnel leading out of the room.
There are a total of four tunnels leading off from the main room first entered: going along the tunnel on the lower right will lead to a small room containing a hag, a chest with leveled loot, a barrel with random food items, and a collection of alchemy ingredients. Going along the lower left tunnel will just take the Dragonborn to an empty room with a waterfall and a hag.
Now, in the top right tunnel one will find a hag and another enemy, after taking them out there is a table with an arcane enchanter, a dead goat, and A Tragedy in Black. To the side there is also a barrel of ingredients.
The last tunnel leads to a large cavern with two last random enemies and a hag. At the top there is a tent, along with two barrels of ingredients and a boss chest containing leveled loot and gold. There is a unique looking sacrificial altar with two random potions. Various ingredients are scattered throughout this cavern.

This section contains bugs related to Glenmoril Coven (Skyrim). Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- Occasionally when standing close to the walls it is possible to hear a Word of Power. However, there is no word wall here and the word is somewhere behind the walls, outside the boundary of the level.
- When a Glenmoril Witch is killed and the body looted of its head, the body will suddenly jump to a new position, possibly even upright as though mounted on a pole.
- PS4 The cave may be unclearable.
