The Paragon Platform is an unmarked location in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard. It is a small, partially destroyed but still functioning, magical platform in the Forgotten Vale where the Paragons found on Frost Giants are used to open portals to secret locations in the Vale. If a Paragon has been used in the platform, it can be taken out and switched with another.
Location[]
Once in the Forgotten Vale, enter the Wayshrine of Resolution. From there, travel due east. After crossing over a hill, straight ahead (and slightly left) across the river will be a cave with a Frost Giant. Climb down the cliff toward it, then turn back around. The Paragon Platform is across the river from the cave, against the cliff.
Paragons[]
There are five paragons, each opens a portal to a different location.
- Amethyst Paragon: leads to Darkfall Grotto. The Dragonborn will end up on a small platform overlooking the Grotto, with a chest to the right that contains potions, gold, and scrolls.
- Diamond Paragon: leads to Glacial Crevice, and another chest with gems, gold, and potions.
- Emerald Paragon: leads to Forgotten Vale Overlook. Head downriver, stopping and turning right just before the lower waterfall to find a treasure chest with gold, potions and gems, some elven/dwarven weapons, a skeleton, and Unknown Book, Vol. II.
- Ruby Paragon: leads to Forgotten Vale Forest. Travel southwest to find some ruins on the right, inhabited by Falmer and frost trolls fighting each other. A Falmer Warmonger has Auriel's Shield. The chest contains a few gems and potions.
- Sapphire Paragon: leads to the Inner Sanctum. Straight ahead will be three chests containing gems, gold, and potions, as well as loose gems and pieces of elven armor scattered around them.
