Pinepeak Cavern

Pinepeak Cavern is a small cave just north of Ivarstead containing bears. It contains only one zone, Pinepeak Cavern.

Following the road north out of Ivarstead, cross the Treva River as if you were going to climb the "7,000 steps" to High Hrothgar, and at the start of the steps turn north. The cave is on the shore opposite town.

Walkthrough[edit]

Exterior[edit]

A bear guards the entrance. Two dead hunters lie at the mouth of the cavern, and in front of the cave by a large rock is a canis root.

A warm welcome

Pinepeak Cavern[edit]

Upon entering, you are in a short tunnel opening out into the main cave; there is blood splattered on the floor. There is a rock formation in the middle and a ledge starting on your right and curving around the cave. A bear will be sleeping or roaming at the end of the ledge. There is nothing else of interest on the ledge. By the ledge below the bear are an unlocked chest, a leveled potion of healing, a smashed cart, a pickaxe, a medium coin purse, and a kettle containing a diamond. To the right are the remains of some poor unfortunate person; among the bones is an iron dagger. Finally, to the right of this are a corundum ore vein and a copy of the Smithing skill book Heavy Armor Forging.

Notes[edit]

Bugs[edit]

  • You may not be able to pick up the diamond. Nudge the kettle to tilt it slightly without dislodging the diamond, allowing you to reach the gem. You can also use the Unrelenting Force shout or Telekinesis on the kettle, then take the diamond.
