Great Lift at Raldbthar is an ancient Dwemer ruin in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Overview

The Great Lift at Raldbthar is an ancient Dwemer mechanical lift that connects to Blackreach. The iron gate will initially be locked, however, it can be opened from the other side by pulling the lever next to it.

To reach the other side the Dragonborn requires access to Blackreach, the only way to do this is to have started the quest, "Discerning the Transmundane," as Septimus Signus' attunement sphere is required to open a door to Blackreach.

From Blackreach, the Dragonborn can ride the lift up to the surface and open the gate, after which the lift can be entered from the outside anytime it is travel to and will appear on the World Map, separate from Raldbthar. However, if the location is not visited for some time, the gate may reset to being closed, forcing the Dragonborn to go through the main part of Raldbthar to reopen it from the Blackreach side.

Blackreach can only be accessed through the ruins of Raldbthar, Mzinchaleft, or Alftand with Septimus Signus' Attunement Sphere.
