Knifepoint Ridge is a bandit camp, located northwest of Falkreath in Falkreath Hold. It is also the main camp for the Knifepoint Gang.[1] There is a master-locked chest under the ramp behind the smelter, leading to Boethiah's previous champion. This location can only be marked as "Cleared" if the quest "Boethiah's Calling" has not been started, as that quest removes the cave-in leading to the rest of the mine.

Trivia[]
- From the entrance or exit of the mine, go south over the top of the mountain, heading towards the Twilight Sepulcher. Keep heading south and move slightly to the east to find a circle made of white caps. Within the circle, a Staff of Fury and the Archery skill book, Father Of The Niben can be found.
- To the east from there is a stone ledge with a Shrine of Akatosh, an enchanted potion, Dragon's Tongue, a copy of the book Olaf and the Dragon, and a copy of the Enchanting skill book A Tragedy in Black upon it.
- Before "Boethiah's Calling," the rear mine shaft is blocked and full of crushed skeletons, only being cleared out when required for the quest.
- The dead bandits found in Halldir's Cairn are revealed to be exiled members of the bandits at Knifepoint, according to Agrius's Journal.
An easily-overlooked vantage point over the ridge.
- Far above the entrance to the mine itself is a large, flat shelf of rock that can be reached by climbing, on which is a bloody knapsack, a bow, and a skeleton. Adding to this, the expansive vantage point offered by the rock shelf overlooking the fort, the nearby bow, and the fact that the mine itself is part of a quest from Boethiah, it is a subtle suggestion to fire down on the bandits below from this location.
Bugs[]
|
This section contains bugs related to Knifepoint Ridge. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- PC 360 PS3 If the Dragonborn goes to Knifepoint Ridge to complete the radiant bounty quest after recently completing "Boethiah's Calling," the marker may be over the empty space where the first bandit used to be inside the mine, making the quest impossible to complete until the bandits respawn.
- Sometimes the bandits may respawn, but the bandit leader will not.
- 360 PS3 During the Knifepoint Mine portion of the "Boethiah's Calling," there may be a giant boulder blocking the path to the lower level. You can solve this issue by loading a previously saved game (before initializing "Boethiah's Calling"), and clearing out Knife Point Ridge and its mine. Reload the game before starting "Boethiah's Calling," and the boulders will be gone.
