• In the chamber to your left when you first enter there is a chest that always contains one of twelve helmets with a detect life enchantment. The specific one you find is based upon your level, and whether you receive the light armor or heavy armor version is randomly determined.
  • There are three chests in total in the chamber; the one with the detect life helmet is in the southernmost alcove.
  • This chest does not respawn.
