Walkthrough[edit]

Exterior[edit]

The exterior of this cave is the Forgotten Vale. The entrance is in the first section of the vale along the east wall of the valley, and is guarded by a Falmer. A gleamblossom plant is to the left of the entrance.

Forgotten Vale Cave[edit]

Main chamber

The entrance leads into a passage with bone chimes hanging from the ceiling. A gated pen to the north contains a chaurus, a chaurus hunter, two unoccupied chaurus cocoons, seven chaurus egg sacs, and five glowing mushrooms on the walls. The path splits to the west, with the left side rising along a ledge to a rope release that opens a concealed door in the northwest wall of the main chamber, and the right side descending past a Falmer chest to the floor of the chamber. The chamber features six Falmer hives and five cocoons, but only one of each is occupied by a chaurus hunter.

The passage behind the concealed door on the northwest ledge of the chamber descends into another chamber containing another rope release that operates the door, a few glowing mushrooms, an unoccupied cocoon, and one of the rare shellbugs. In order to obtain their chitin, these creatures must be mined with a pickaxe; the material cannot be obtained through killing the creatures by conventional means. Shellbugs are also not detected by the Detect Life spell.

Bugs[edit]

  • You may be unable to mine the shellbug after it respawns. Leaving and reentering the cave will enable the shellbug, allowing you to mine it normally.
