- "Legend says this tomb holds a treasure that bestows great power on the one who discovers it. Beyond that, not much more is known. Obviously, this treasure will fetch a good deal of gold, and I'm willing to let you share in the reward when we find it."
- ―Medresi Dran[src]
Medresi Dran and the Wandering Dead is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in which the Dragonborn must assist Medresi Dran in clearing the out Draugr from Angarvunde.
Objectives[]
- Destroy the Draugr in Angarvunde
- Talk to Medresi in Angarvunde
- Find a way to open the gates
- Open the other gate
- Return to Medresi
- Discover the treasure of Angarvunde
Walkthrough[]
Medresi Dran will speak to the Dragonborn when approached. Offering to help her will start the miscellaneous quest "Destroy the Draugr in Angarvunde." If the quest was not followed, the key may need to be obtained from Medresi by either pickpocketing or killing her.
Upon killing or pickpocketing Medresi Dran, the key can be looted and the quest "Discover the treasure of Angarvunde" will begin.
- Medresi Dran will ask to the Dragonborn to kill three draugr that scared her men off (level-dependent).
- Report back to Medresi
- Open the two gates blocking the path. Medresi will give the Dragonborn the key to two doors; one on each side of the main chamber in Angarvunde. The Dragonborn will have to go through both eventually (both doors are full of Draugr), and upon finishing each door, they will both return you to the main chamber.
- Go through the open gates and Medresi Dran will run ahead of the Dragonborn into the treasure room only to be crushed by the staircase shaft rising from the floor.
- Enter the secret staircase that appeared upon the demise of Medresi, and proceed down the stairs to obtain a word of the Animal Allegiance shout and a treasure chest. Learning the word of power will complete the quest.

Trivia[]
- Medresi's corpse can be looted after she is killed by the shaft by standing on the stairs leading into the room and knocking her body off the top using a kinetic destruction spell such as Firebolt.
- If Medresi is saved—for example, by staggering her with Unrelenting Force so that she is not crushed by the pillar and spikes—she will continue trying to run to the centre of the pillar and cannot be interacted with, displaying a message of "This person is Busy." If she does then reach the center of the pillar, then she will immediately drop dead. The quest will not progress to the objective of "Discover the treasure of Angarvunde" until she is dead.
