Walkthrough

To reach Eldersblood Peak from the north, go a short distance west on the main road south of Morthal and look for a dirt path to the left. The long path winds past an unmarked hunter's camp and North Cold Rock Pass. To approach the peak from the east, climb a slope northwest of Drelas' Cottage, bypassing the enemies on the dirt path.

Before the dragons' return, three frost trolls (and occasionally some frostbite spiders) will guard the word wall. One frost troll occupies the lowest level, and the other two are near the word wall on the highest level.

After the dragons' return, there will be a dead frost troll on the lowest level. A burned corpse surrounded by scorch marks is on the second level, next to the table. In front of the wall is a dead cow and another dead frost troll. The third frost troll has been spared by the dragon and will continue to patrol the path below, attacking you if you attempt to approach from the direction of North Cold Rock Pass. The leveled dragon is usually resting on the wall, but the skeletons near Rannveig's Fast can enter the dragon's detection area, causing it to fly off to investigate.

Regardless of whether Dragon Rising has been completed, on the second level there is a sacrificial table with two leveled potions. To the left of the third level is a snowberry plant. The boss chest is to the right of the word wall, between the word wall and the brick wall.

Bugs

• The word wall may glow or play its sound effect but not give you its word of power. Reloading a previous save or quitting and relaunching the game should resolve the issue. Striking the wall with a spell and pressing against the wall may also work.
• The dragon may not spawn for bounty quests. ^?
