Lost Knife Hideout is a cave located in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
It is a sublocation to Lost Knife Cave in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and one of the strongholds of the Silver Hand. If the Companions quest-line hasn't been started, bandits occupy it instead. Its name is also the name used within the map marker for the entire location.
Summary
The Hideout is an area accessed after walking up through the cave's system of large caverns arranged around a large shallow subterranean lake inside the mountain. Tanning Racks and grindstones can be found near the living quarters in addition to a large, tavern-like room full of food, mead and hunting trophies. At the deepest point in the cave, a large arena area can be found with dead bandits and animals in it. On lower difficulties a bandit thug will spawn in the arena.
