Walkthrough

Exterior

A smelter is near the mine entrance, which is east of the White Hall. With Hearthfire installed, a stone quarry is just west of the entrance.

Iron-Breaker Mine

There are six iron ore veins in the mine: one on the floor at the first intersection, one in the southwest dead end at the same intersection, two at the northeast dead end at the second intersection, and two at the far end of the long narrow tunnel past the hole in the floor. The mine also features several pickaxes, shovels, and barrels of food.

The entrance leads into a tunnel descending to the southeast. At the bottom is a crossroads, with dead ends straight ahead and to the southwest. The mine continues to the northeast, passing a narrow point with wooden shoring. At this point, there is a copy of the Destruction skill book Response to Bero's Speech on top of a barrel and a bed roll owned by Bodil. Just beyond is a second crossroads, with an extinguished campfire in the center. To the northwest is a barrel containing ingredients among a pile of firewood, while to the northeast is another dead end. Turning to the southeast, the tunnel narrows and starts to twist and turn, eventually rising to another dead end with a round hole in the ground. Dropping through this hole returns you to a dead end near the first junction.

Notes

• The Prima Official Game Guide describes the mine as follows:

"This mine is located on the outskirts of town to the east. Karl, Irgnir, Gjak, and Bodil work here. This mine produces iron and has a smelter for extracting steel from the iron. Under the watchful (some might say, stern and overbearing) gaze of Beitild, the mine is producing a large amount of ore and is a boon to the local economy."

Bugs

• Ahkari's merchant chest, which is placed underneath the playable map, can be accessed by looking between the three rocks just to the left of the mine entrance.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 1.0, fixes this bug.
