Revision as of 02:11, 5 July 2019

Tower of Mzark is an ancient Dwemer Ruin in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The iron gate on the surface is initially locked. However, it can be opened from the other side by pulling the lever next to it. The quests "Elder Knowledge" and "Discerning the Transmundane" concurrently unfold here.

Accessing the tower

To reach the other side, Blackreach must first be traversed. The only way to do this is to have started the quest, "Discerning the Transmundane." Septimus Signus' Attunement Sphere is required to activate a Dwarven mechanism opening a door to Blackreach. It is also possible to access it by forcing a plate against the wall and sprinting into it. Blackreach can be found by traveling through Alftand, Mzinchaleft or Raldbthar of the major Dwemer ruins, but the quest marker will always direct the Dragonborn to Alftand. The tower is located in the south/southwest corner of Blackreach.

Interactions

Elder Knowledge

The Elder Scroll needed to learn the Dragonrend shout is found inside the Tower's main rooms. This room houses an oculory that holds the Dragon Elder Scroll.

Puzzle clue and solution

There is an inanimate skeleton named Drokt lying in the tower, with a journal on the ground next to it that provides a clue to the puzzle. The solution to the puzzle is as follows:

  1. Push the second button from the right four times, waiting for the machine to finish moving each time.
  2. After doing this, the second button from the left will unlock. Push this button twice.
  3. After doing this, the leftmost button will unlock. Push this button once.

Then collect the Elder Scroll and the Runed Lexicon.
