Skyrim Alftand Weapon

Skyrim Alftand Weapon - Black and Brown Semi Automatic Pistol on White Table

I cleared Alftand without any quest that required me to enter Alftand. I already read that there are two different quests on this location, and one is concerning a weapon. I would like to know which weapon it is so I don't change it or sell it or use it please.



Best Answer

For all your Skryim questions, first check The Elder Scrolls Wiki. If you don't, most of your answers are basically just going to be links to the wiki and block quotes, like this one.

The wiki has a page on Alftand.

The first sentence says this:

Alftand is an ancient Dwemer ruin located in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The quests "Elder Knowledge" and "Discerning the Transmundane" concurrently unfold here.

Elder Knowledge

Elder Knowledge is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The quest is the twelfth in the main questline of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The quest is particularly long, spanning five different locations, including two Dwemer Ruins. During the quest much of the Elder Scrolls lore is revealed.

No particular weapon is involved in this quest.

Discerning the Transmundane

Discerning the Transmundane is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It serves as the Daedric quest for the prince Hermaeus Mora. It also runs concurrently with the main quest "Elder Knowledge," and is the only other method of accessing Blackreach other than Elder Knowledge.

This quest does not involve a particular weapon either.

Other Possibilities

The Alftand page also mentions that it may be used as the random target of the quest Ancient Technology. This quest can provide an upgrade or ammunition type for the crossbow, so it might be what was being referenced.

How do I open an Alftand gate?

The gate can only be opened from within, by pulling a lever to the right of the gate, after which the lift can be entered from Skyrim whenever you travel there (fast traveling places you right outside the lift). The map marker for this location does not appear until the lift is activated inside Blackreach.

Can you clear Alftand?

Going through Alftand is not required to obtain the Elder Scroll, one can go through any ruin that leads to Blackreach. It is possible to completely bypass this ruin and still get into Blackreach.

How do you activate the Dwarven mechanism in Alftand?

The Mechanism can only be activated with an Attunement Sphere that can be obtained during the quest "Discerning the Transmundane." Once activated, the Mechanism rotates and unlocks a stairwell beneath it that leads to the ancient Dwemer ruins of Blackreach. These Mechanisms seem to be the only way to access Blackreach.

How do you open the door in Alftand in Skyrim?

Behind the mechanism is a master-locked gate, which can be unlocked by the key found on the centurion you fought, behind which is a lift which will take you to Sulla's camp on the surface.
