LocationEdit

Bilegulch Mine is located southwest of Fort Sungard in Falkreath.

BackgroundEdit

It is occupied by Orcish bandits because of its value as an Orichalcum Ore mine. The outside mining camp is barricaded and has a few Orcish-styled buildings including a blacksmithing area with a smelter and forge. One of the bandit leaders can be found in his building outside the mine, and another one resides inside.

This is a location for one of the many Bounty Quests.

CraftingEdit

These are all found in the camp, outside the mine.

• Forge
• Smelter
• Workbench

Notable LootEdit

• Six Orichalcum Ore on a wagon just outside the mine entrance. They might be under the cart instead of in it.
• Orcish Greatsword on a table near the forge alongside several low-tier weapons and armors.
• Orchish Helmet on the table near the forge.
• Two chests outside the mine, along with a boss chest inside the mine. The Bandit Chief has the key to this chest.
• Nine Orichalcum Ore Veins inside the mine resulting in 27 Orichalcum Ores, or 33 counting the six in the cart.
• The Armorer's Challenge on table in the mine, Smithing skill book.

MiningEdit

There are 9 Orichalcum Ore Veins in the mine, in order relative to the entrance:

1. After entering, continue down passageway; vein straight ahead against the wall (there is a pickaxe conveniently located right next to it).
2. Retrace a bit, continue further into the mine; vein on the right wall
3. Continue down the passageway opposite #2; enter into large room; immediately on the left, on the ground.
4. Directly opposite #3, on the ground
5. (on the wall above #4)
6. Next to #3, on the ground below the lantern.
7. Directly opposite #6, on the ground.
8. Opposite the cart, on the ground.
9. Above #8, in the corner.

BugsEdit

•  360   There is a bug where the boss chest is nowhere to be found inside the mine like it should be, and the key to the chest will not be on the Bandit Chief's body. The chest should reappear upon reloading the game to the autosave made when entering the mine.

•  PS3   360   There is a bug that prevents you from mining some or all of the Orichalcum veins; looking at the vein(s) will not display mine option. This is resolved by re-entering the mine.
