Go down to Blackreach, and shout unrelenting force at the sun-giant lantern thing in the middle of the Dwemer city that has all those Falmer. A named dragon should appear.

has anyone tried using that blood mixture thing that septimus uses on the lock box for the ogma infinium?

Didn't want to neglect the thread, but don't have time for a full replies. In short, yes, most of the ideas suggested here have been tried already. Some nice ideas have been put forward and some new 'discoveries' made. What started 2 threads ago as a 'I wonder' has become something of a mystery. Good to see

I think more of this place needs to be dug up, this place is getting power from some were, find the source of power and hopfuly a control panel. I guess we will have to wait until an update patch comes out, that will let you hire some people to dig it out for you.

so just tried all my shouts all the weapons I had on me including Hoarfrost (the unique ancient
pic) and all the sumond all the atronachs (the only thig I haven't tried is the bloodskall blade and keening, and as odd as it sounds it seems to be getting brighter as in it's ambient light. might just be that I'm going crazy and seeing things that aren't there lol

Somebody posted on a similar thread a video about this Dwemer orb opening, i'll try and post the link

so did anyone who played blood moon remember if there was a December ruin near the location of his house. and also his house is surrounded by heart stones wonder if that has anything to do with it

if you cant link it and its from another website jst write down the URL for us to copy and paste lol

I don't think there is anything left to try unless that video isn't a fake and can be linked

(sigh) Relax. I'm the one who came up with a theory on why it's not anything meaningful. But we're just having fun, and it can't hurt to try.

The way his house is destroyed is weird as well. Did one corner of his house just collapse, or did something burst out of it?

it looks more like it collapsed but saying that the first time you get to it ash spawn come
out I the ground so who knows apart from hroldulf, and we can't ask him anymore haha

smacking it with a dwarven weapon does nothing

Finally found this house just waiting what beth has planed maybe its just for decoration like those bug jares?

i have a hoible feeling its like the bug jars and the ancient falmer crown all over again......kept me going for a while maybe in the next dlc we can solve it or pray for a miracle that beth will tell us what the hell it is/does

Yes. It looked like he was in the process of running away from something. His axe was also broken in half...

I would say bandits did it, but there was treasure left in/nearby the boat. I want to say that Bethesda's alluding to some unknown underground force here. I feel in my gut that they're using Lovecraft again (they seem to do that a lot in Dragonborn). Does anyone know what Lovecraft story this could be mirroring?

Its a centrifuge, guys just for show.

Ever tried using that one Illusion Master Spell from the Master Quest that allows you to see what others cannot?

~Edit~

Other ideas...

Throw the bug jars at it?

Shout at it and tell it to open?

Give it a muffin (Sweetroll)?

Cast different spells on it to see if it reacts to anything?

Beat up Neloth and get him to chase you to the building then use Bend Will Shout to make him friendly and try to get him to open it?

has anyone with Kinect tried saying "Open Sesame"?

honestly i think it may just be the remains of an unfinished quest or a setup for a future quest.

I mentioned about the torch found there earlier in the thread and noticed that, unlike other torches, it creates a shadow effect. I haven't found any other similar torches in the dlc thus far, just the one.

Doesn't really have any bearing on the topic but I thought that it was interesting.

pmsl I really hope that's it that would be so funny

Has anyone tried giving Hrodulf's journal or note to someone (maybe Calcelmo, or someone in Solitude or Raven Rock) to see if that starts any sort of quest that reveals what happened there?

That's genius...
