Alduin's Wall

Alduin's Wall

"Alduin's Wall" is a significant main quest in Act II of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, directly following "A Cornered Rat." This quest involves journeying to a hidden location to decipher an ancient prophecy carved into a massive wall, providing crucial insights into Alduin and the dragon crisis.

To start "Alduin's Wall," you must have completed "A Cornered Rat." The quest will direct you to a specific ancient Nord ruin, often a remote and challenging location. Within this ruin, you will need to navigate through various traps and enemies to reach the central chamber where Alduin's Wall is located.

The primary objective is to find and understand the carvings on Alduin's Wall. This involves a historical and mythological revelation about the dragons and their return. You will likely be accompanied by allies who can help interpret the ancient texts and images. The wall itself depicts events from the Dragon War and provides a prophecy about Alduin's defeat.

Successfully deciphering the wall's meaning is essential for progressing the main storyline. This quest leads directly into "The Throat of the World," where you will seek further knowledge from the Greybeards.
