Why are there vines over the entrance to Bthardamz?
I am looking for Atherium shards for the key to the Atherium forge.
I went to Bthardamz to search for them. After you go down the stairs, where you can pull a lever and the spinning blades come out, I pulled the one for the bars to open the next room. But when I get to the next door there are vines covering the door. What do I do?
Best Answer
Bthardamz is only accessible during the Quest The Only Cure, which starts at the Shrine to Peryite. From the first linked article:
Bthardamz is an ancient Dwemer ruin located in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is the largest ruin in the game. The entire ruin is inaccessible unless the quest The Only Cure has been started.

How do you get past the door in Bthardamz?
Keep following the path until you eventually find Orchendor. Once you kill him and loot his corpse, you will recover a copy of the Alteration skill book Reality & Other Falsehoods and a key to Bthardamz elevator. The key allows you to open a door on the upper level of the room in the northwest corner.Can you clear Bthardamz?

That location is not involved in finding the Atherium Shards, so dont worry. Check the journal that Katria prompts you to pick up at the first Atherium Shard location. It has a rough map of Skyrim showing the location of each Shard.
