Head north, then east up a ramp to another large set of doors. Behind the gate are two unlocked chests, five pieces of pottery, a Dwemer cog, a solid Dwemer metal, a Dwemer gyro, a Dwemer scrap metal, two Dwemer gears, and two Dwarven metal ingots. Two leveled chaurus scuttle about among the bones of many different animals (and at least one human) just past this, and the architecture starts to show more Dwemer traits again.ДЄfter a right turn and a ramp, a Dwarven sphere will pop out of a scuttle on the wall just before an adept-locked gate. The tunnel leading out has a tripwire rigged to a falling boulder trap, but it is fairly easy to spot. Across the room is a moonstone ore vein, a table with some sacks of food, a cabbage, three potatoes, a rack of dog meat, and a knapsack. At the base of the scaffolding to the right is a bucket and a basket containing a whole salmon, a piece of cheese, a gourd, and two potatoes, while under the ramp and to the left are two more pickaxes and some leather strips. A scaffold leads up to another, equally dead researcher, two bed rolls, a random potion, a random scroll, a Falmer ear, and an apothecary's satchel. On the right is basket containing two sheaves of wheat, with a third on a food barrel beside it. Down the tunnel, just before the next room and near the second Namira's Rot patch, is an alcove with a moonstone ore vein and a handy pickaxe on a barrel.ДЄ leveled chaurus or chaurus hunter DG feeds on another researcher in the next room. There are two patches of Namira's Rot fungus in the area. Just inside, near the tree, is a pile of rubble climb over it to find a Dwarven shield tucked away in the corner. Past the door is a short corridor that quickly becomes a natural rock cavern complete with a tree. The left scuttle houses a leveled spider that will ambush you when you get close. The corridor takes a left turn at the top, where you'll see another door with a scuttle on either side. The door to the east opens to a ramp littered with quite a bit of scrap metal for refining. Beyond is another spider, an unlocked chest, and a moonstone ore vein in a steam-filled dead end. The door to the north is trapped either step back to avoid the spears from the floor when opening it, or disarm the adept-level tension cable at the bottom right of the door. Other than the requisite bits of clutter, there's also a random potion of magicka by the west wall, and two doors. In the next room are two more leveled spiders, one in the northeast corner and one which will pop out of a scuttle on the south wall. Keep heading east up the ramp, past more pottery and scrap metal. There's also a Dwemer convector on a stone table among some Dwemer pottery and a random potion. Another is around the corner, hard to see through the steam. Beyond you may spy a Dwarven spider worker from a distance as it skitters among the gears in the next room. Turn right, where two Dwemer bowls, a pot, and an urn are arranged just before a doorway. You'll stumble upon the corpse of a Synod researcher on the path just after the spikes step over them, but be sure to grab the random potion near their body. Avoid the small pressure plate that will trigger rows of spikes from the ceiling ahead. A few pieces of Dwemer scrap metal, along with some pottery, are scattered on and underneath the stone shelves to either side as you climb the ramp. The right wall seems to have collapsed partly earth and plants intrude into the typical Dwemer architecture. Loot him when he dies to find, among other things, the key to the unpickable door, the only way forward. Gavros Plinius is against the wall ahead and to the right. Two Dwemer convectors can be found in Mzulft: one inside the main ruins, and another in the Dwarven Storeroom. There are several moonstone ore veins in the first two zones, and one in the last. You can also collect all ten of the Dwarven cogs needed to complete the quest Arniel's Endeavor here. Mzulft contains a multitude of Dwemer metal items, which can be smelted into Dwarven metal ingots or sold directly for a significant profit. Only two remain alive within the ruin upon your arrival. However, the locals aren't too happy, and have decimated the mages' numbers. It is the location of one of two Oculories in Skyrim (the other is deep underground in Blackreach), and this feature in particular made it a target of a secret project conducted by the Synod. Access to virtually all of the three-zoned main ruin is blocked by a locked door (which cannot be picked) until you begin the College of Winterhold quest Revealing the Unseen. Mzulft is a large Dwarven ruin south-southeast of Windhelm, along the main road between Windhelm and Riften.
