The Greybeards will send you to retrieve the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller from Ustengrav, an ancient Nordic tomb. This quest involves another dungeon crawl, introducing more complex puzzles and several enemies, including Draugr, Skeletons, and Frostbite Spiders. Be prepared for a twist at the end.
Objectives:
- Retrieve the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller from Ustengrav.
- Read the note left in place of the Horn.
- Meet the sender of the note in Riverwood.
- Return the Horn to the Greybeards.
Strategy:
Ustengrav is located on a small island northwest of Morthal. The dungeon is multi-layered. You'll encounter Draugr, Skeletons, and Frostbite Spiders. There are several puzzles: one involving pressure plates that activate gates (step on the correct sequence of plates, usually indicated by runes on the floor), and another involving three Word Walls that activate a bridge when you use the 'Whirlwind Sprint' Shout. The final chamber where the Horn should be is empty, with a note left by a mysterious individual. Read the note, then travel to the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood and speak to Delphine. She will give you the Horn. Return to High Hrothgar to complete the quest and learn a new Word of Power for 'Become Ethereal'.
