Entering the basement without entering that room first can bug the quest, see bug section. Due to the presence of powerful enemies such as falmer and a chaurus reaper , low-leveled players will experience difficulty undertaking this quest. Players who cannot yet survive a chaurus attack can complete the quest using Sneak and Archery.
Upon entry, the lighthouse interior is in disarray, and several grisly murders having been committed. The Dragonborn is given the task of finding the source of the murders, and upon reading the journals found in Frostflow Lighthouse, the Dragonborn will find clues as to what has happened and how to proceed.
The unique reward for the quest is the active effect Sailor's Repose.
Unlock the cellar door, and proceed down the stairs, taking care to avoid the bear traps on the steps. Kill any chaurus in the cellar, and go to the opening in the far wall. Go through the opening, and enter the Frostflow Abyss and deal with the falmer and chaurus in the first room.
After dispatching them, look around and find Mani 's remains. Locate the next passageway, and head deeper into the abyss. The next chamber has falmer dwellings and a fenced-in area where Sudi 's body lies, along with the Scrawled page and Bloodstained note. There will also be falmer and chaurus. Continue exploring, dealing with the chaurus as preferred killing or sneaking past them until the Dragonborn arrives at a hole in the floor where the only way to proceed is to jump down onto a ledge.
Do so, and kill the chaurus that are in the area.
Harvest chaurus eggs if desired there are several hundred available here, as the area is a chaurus nest , and continue to explore, dealing with more chaurus along the way. Next will be a large cavern with stalactites, several chaurus, and a chaurus reaper. The chaurus reaper must be killed before one can exit the abyss, and can be difficult for lower-leveled players, and is guarded by at least one chaurus. When killed, the chaurus reaper will have Habd's remains necessary to gain the power Sailor's Repose , as well as Habd's lighthouse key.
With Habd's remains in hand, continue forward to a trail that leads up along a ledge that leads back to the opening of the abyss. Open Preview See a Problem? Thanks for telling us about the problem. Return to Book Page.

Price rated it really liked it Shelves: My favorite book thus far by Richard Baldwin. I love how he includes Michigan cities and sights in his mystery books.
This was a lovely read and a series I would absolutely continue to read. New to audible and wasn't sure what to expect. Keep your audiobooks, even if you cancel. The authors vivid description of the locale, the characters and the animals involv I loved this book. She is fairly new to the area, but has got a job there and is a member of various societies so she can more fully integrate.
The Lighthouse Murders did surprise me at the end which is always good for mystery murders. Loved the book and can't wait to read the next one! Oct 15, Cathy Farrell rated it it was ok. This book somehow felt almost like it was as much a travelogue as a mystery. Unfortunately, trying to do both meant that it ended up not being particularly good at either.
