WHERE TO GET AHZIDAL'S ARMOR?

Perhaps no other Dragon Priest possesses a fascinating story as Ahzidal. A fearsome priest who once walked Skyrim, betraying his own brethren to aid the Nords. While a traitor in the eyes of his kind, the priests of Kyne saw his betrayal as an act of courage and wisdom.

In death, he continues to offer wisdom to those who seek his favor. But not without a price, those willing to don his armor must solve his riddles. If successful, they will be rewarded with one of the very few Dragon Priest masks that offer an enchanting bonus.

Across Time

In the Dragonborn DLC, Ahzidal's Armor is a one-of-a-kind heavy armor set. Its enchantments might not be the best, but its unique look and backstory make it a fan favorite. However, getting your hands on this Dragon Priest's armor isn't a simple task.

Where to Find Ahzidal's Armor?

The first step in getting the set is to locate Kolbjorn Barrow. This Nordic tomb is located south of Fort Frostmoth and west of Raven Rock. Once you find the barrow, enter it and make your way through the draugr-infested passageways.

In the end, you'll find yourself at a puzzle door. Activating the door will prompt Ahzidal to speak to you from beyond the grave. Ahzidal poses riddles that must be solved to open the door. Once you've answered the riddles correctly, the door will open, revealing Ahzidal's coffin.

The Riddles

To solve Ahzidal's riddles, pay close attention to the text on the door and the inscriptions on the nearby pillars. After searching, here are the answers to the riddles:

• First Riddle: "Whose maw devours the sun?" (Answer: Sunset)
• Second Riddle: "Whose tears fill the sea?" (Answer: River)
• Third Riddle: "Whose eyes pierce the sky?" (Answer: Stars)

The Reward

Solving the riddles will open Ahzidal's sarcophagus, revealing his remains and the Dragon Priest mask. Opening the sarcophagus will trigger a boss fight with Ahzidal, so be prepared. Once you defeat Ahzidal, collect his armor, and the Dragon Priest mask, Nahkriin, from his remains.
