Detailed Walkthrough

A Strange Partnership

Just northeast of the Old Attius Farm is Kolbjorn Barrow. Outside Kolbjorn Barrow is a lone Dunmer named Ralis Sedarys. Go up and talk to him and he'll explain that he is a treasure hunter and has come with news that he has located a treasure in the barrow, but he cannot afford to excavate it alone and requests a donation of 1000 gold, with a promise of a share of any treasure discovered.

First Visit

A few days after you give him the money, a courier will give you a note about the barrow. Head off over to the barrow, and Ralis will explain that the draugr have been disturbed, and they have killed all the miners. He asks you to go in and kill the draugr and then find a way further into the barrow. After you have killed the draugr, take the skull off the altar to open the next area, Go into the next room and pick up the Ahzidal's Boots of Waterwalking. (If the skull has been knocked off the pressure plate on the altar during the fight it must be lifted back onto the plinth and removed once more, or you can "walk" onto it and off by getting on the altar). Go back and talk to Ralis. He'll then ask for 2000 gold to hire some more miners.

Second Visit

Several days afterward you'll get another note asking you to come back to the barrow. There are more draugr and two of the miners are missing. He asks that you locate the missing miners and to kill the remaining draugr. In the last section of the mine near the corpse of Mireli is a handle (near the floor on the other side of the wall with candles, a soul gem and coins) that can be turned to reveal a secret room where Ahzidal's Ring of Necromancy can be found. Ralis now wants 3000 gold to hire some mercenaries.

Third Visit

You will receive a third letter a few days later, asking you to return to the barrow. When the courier delivers the letter, he will tell you "Another letter from Ralis. He's starting to scare me a little", a portent of things to come. Ralis will tell a similar story as last time: that there are yet more draugr, and that this time they have killed all the mercenaries that he hired. Enter the barrow and kill the draugr. To access Ahzidal's Gauntlets of Warding, pull the chain to the right of the iron doors that lead to the staircase into the newly excavated section, then backtrack around the corner where they will be sitting on a pedestal that was previously unavailable. Then, head down the stairs, avoiding the trap, and kill the new draugr. When you reach the open chamber, you must ensure all the pressure plates are lit for the gate to open and reach Ahzidal's Ring of Arcana. (The Light Foot perk does not prevent you from lighting the pressure plates.) The timing is a bit tight; if you can't get it, using Slow Time seems to work, or you can run along the joint between two rows of tiles, depressing both rows at once, for a total of three runs across the grid. You can also circumvent the puzzle entirely with Telekinesis. A pit filled with deep water surrounds the plinth that the ring is on. At the bottom you can find a coin purse, a burial urn and a leveled battleaxe. Once you're done here, head up the stairs and back out of the barrow to talk to Ralis who now wants 5000 more gold. He will then send you one last note.

A Poor Investment

When you get the final note, return to the barrow and look for clues at the camp, then head into the barrow and clear it out. After battling several leveled draugr, you will eventually find Ralis completing the ritual to awaken a dragon priest named Ahzidal. Defeat Ahzidal, loot his eponymous mask, then speak to Ralis, who will explain that he was under a spell. You can then choose to kill him or let him live, in which case he will become available as a follower. If you kill him, you may loot Hoarfrost, a unique ancient Nordic pickaxe, from his corpse. You can also take it from him if you spare him.

The gate blocking access to Ahzidal's Helm of Vision can be opened by rotating the two animal totem pillars until the snake symbols are facing you, then pulling the chain above the door. Pulling the chain with an incorrect pillar arrangement will cause several flame spout traps to blast the area in front of the gate. Removing the helm from its pedestal will activate another flame spout trap that is aimed back towards the gate.

You can find the Black Book Filament and Filigree at the end of the exit tunnel.

Notes

• The time between each investment and the next courier message is four days.
• You can find Ahzidal's unique heavy armor set and rings:
  • Ahzidal's Boots of Waterwalking are available after the first phase of digging.
  • Ahzidal's Ring of Necromancy may be found after the second phase.
  • Ahzidal's Gauntlets of Warding and Ahzidal's Ring of Arcana can be acquired after the third phase.
  • Ahzidal's Armor of Retribution and Ahzidal's Helm of Vision become available after the fourth phase.
• You may hear the chanting of the nearby Word Wall after the second phase has occurred, but you won't be able to access it until the fourth phase. You might be able to access it during the third phase if you stand close enough to the wall.
• The grate that opens to allow you to descend to meet Ahzidal on your final visit is controlled by the familiar pillars and is well-marked. The eagles on the opposite wall must be set on the corresponding pillars.
• The iron gate blocking the pedestal that holds Ahzidal's Armor of Retribution is not so obvious, however. As you enter the room, on the walls to either side there will be pull chains just to the right of an arch-way. If you pull the chains, this will activate rotating doors which will reveal that behind the arch-ways are two more pillars, each with the sign of the fish. The pillars behind the chairs need to be matched to these to open the gate and obtain the armor. Setting both pillars to the Snake (and activating the lever) will unleash a trap of poison darts. The pillars here perform an uncharacteristic double-duty by opening two separate portals.
• The mining camp outside the barrow will remain until Filament and Filigree is read, after which all traces of the camp will disappear, including Ralis's journals.

Bugs

• Ralis may hire the miners, but never get anywhere with them - despite the passage of days (or even months), the courier never arrives, and when you check the dig site, they haven't reached the entrance. ^?
  • Check the site once, talking to Ralis, then sleep in a bed in Solstheim for 24 or 48 hours. Repeat for each stage.
• Upon entering Kolbjorn Barrow for the fourth and final time, you are instructed to find Ralis Sedarys (stage 410). At some point before reaching the chamber with Ralis and Ahzidal, the quest may immediately progress to confronting Ralis (stage 475). It is possible that Ralis will be flagged as hostile towards the draugr and Ahzidal (or vice versa), and a brawl will ensue before you reach the chamber. Since Ralis is considered an essential NPC until you choose the dialogue option to kill him, upon reaching the chamber you will find Ralis chanting, as if to summon Ahzidal, but Ahzidal and the draugr are already dead. Approaching Ralis will trigger the normal dialogue (choose to kill or spare him). If he is spared, he will continue chanting as he runs away. He will still be chanting when approached at The Retching Netch.
• Ralis' journals can be found on a table outside of the barrow excavation. Taking them after completion of the quest will permanently mark them as quest items, and it will be impossible to ever remove them from your inventory.
  • PC Only This bug is fixed by version 2.0.3 of the Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.
  • Ficheiro:Pc22.png They may be removed via the console by typing Player.removeitem xx018108 1 and repeating for the IDs xx01810F, xx018110, xx018111, and xx0181CB. The xx on each ID will vary; see this page for details.
• Upon entering Kolbjorn Barrow for the third time, one of the draugr that you must kill may be outside of the map.
  • Leaving and reentering Kolbjorn should fix this issue.
• If you haven't picked up Ahzidal's Ring of Necromancy yet during the 2nd investment, it will disappear during the 3rd investment if you try to go back and grab it. It can be retrieved if you return to barrow after the third investment but before receiving the next letter. ^?

Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry

• The following empty quest stages were omitted from the table:

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage DLC2dunKolbjornQST/DLC2dunKolbjornMiscQST stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest DLC2dunKolbjornQST/DLC2dunKolbjornMiscQST.
