Key for way back out

I was wondering if anyone had found the key that opens the door to the short way out of the dungeon... The Ansilvund key doesn't seem to be the correct one and I can't seem to find any others anywhere in the last section of the dungeon.

It's on skavens body though her corpse nearly always glitcjes through the floor for me. Use the console. click the door adn type unlock. Best wishes

This happened to me as well, but since I'm not using the PC I can't just 'use the console' as suggested. Any other ideas?

Try saving then reload the save. This should reload the body. It always works on unlootable bodies (making them lootable.) Philbert 21:14, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Luckily I saved right before the fight, then after awhile looking for the key read this, reloaded and redid the fight 10 times with her body glitching though the floor. Luckily moreso I had a poison of paralysis on me, paralyzed and then pick-pocketed the key off her. Thanks for the location of the correct key! ~Chadworthy 4/11/12

Ansilvund secret chest outide on top of tower

There is a chest on top of the tower outside ansilvund. Has anyone figured out how to get up there?— Unsigned comment by 174.252.135.46 (talk) at 01:03 on 21 December 2011

With at least two words unlocked for Whirlwind Sprint, you can reach the chest. Stand on the small rocky outcropping almost directly above the excavation entrance and face west towards where the tower wall is the lowest.— Unsigned comment by 24.247.177.201 (talk) at 00:32 on 24 January 2012

Solution Two:

I had success getting up there with a horse. Horses seem to be the 4x4s of Skyrim. Just hop on and trot/jump on the area next to the entrance (left-facing entrance. staggered stones/rubble). The horse will be able to clear the lip of the tower after a jump or two.— Unsigned comment by 108.88.185.250 (talk) at 05:10 on 23 March 2012

Where is the gold ore vein?

If there is supposed to be a gold ore vein in Ansilvund, then where is it? The iron ore vein location is described, but not the gold.--Playerseekingbugs (talk) 23:08, 17 December 2012 (GMT)

It's in the second zone, eastmost at the bend of the passage there, in the wall. But I can't activate it, it seems to be bugged/misplaced somehow. --Alfwyn (talk) 23:56, 17 December 2012 (GMT)

I checked it out, and it's unmineable. I think it's best to remove it from the summary box, and add a note about it's status. Silence is Golden^{Break the Silence} 16:43, 23 December 2012 (GMT)

I agree, now it is confirmed it isn't just happening for me. --Alfwyn (talk) 16:46, 23 December 2012 (GMT)
