Description
Edit
Hajvarr Iron-Hand and his crew of bandits have made this their base of operations and target either travellers or the merchant caravans that journey to Whiterun. Several bandits can be encountered at the entrance, and Ulfr the Blind, Hajvarr's uncle, is standing watch just inside, though Ulfr will not attack the Dragonborn unless provoked. The bandits can be overheard discussing their displeasure for a blind man standing guard and are plotting kill both Hajvarr and his uncle shortly. The band is also trying to train a wolf but have doubts of their ability to do so. As the wolf is still feral, it can be released to aid with dispatching the bandits.
The highest point of the cave is White River Overlook. Hajvarr can be found sitting here, where he can view Whiterun and any potential targets that may be travelling on the road.
NotesEdit
- This is the location of the unique Ironhand Gauntlets.
- This is also the location of the rare Fur Helmet.
- There is an Alchemy Lab in the cave.
- There is an Iron Ore Vein just above the cage with the wolf.
- If Hajvarr is killed close to the edge, his corpse can fall off the cliff and can only be looted by following it down the cliff.
- If the corpse does roll off the game is playable after climbing down, but all way points on the HUD tell the player to go via the back entrance of White River Watch. Quit and restart the game to correct the issue.
- The release to open the wolf cage is a chain pull located on the right wall before going into the short tunnel where the bandits are talking. Opening the door should cause the feral wolf to attack the Bandits.
- The locked door (Novice) where the wolf is kept can be shot open with an arrow instead of lockpicking it.
- There are five different varieties of fungi growing throughout the cave.
- The corpse in the hanging cage can be looted by jumping on to the rock from which the cage hangs, edging out along the wooden beam, and then slowly sliding down the side of the cage. Unless the Become Ethereal shout is available, it is recommended that the game be saved before attempting this, as it is quite a fall to the cavern floor.
- There is a bug which you might encounter after clearing the area. You can come again later and find another ironhand gauntlet and Hajvarr's journal on him.
- One of the first bandits to attack you may contain a letter addressed to Rudolf. It is clear that Rudolf has done something to the gang as Hajvarr wants him dead.
- Despite claiming that they'll attempt to kill Hajvarr and his uncle at dusk, the bandits will never actually do anything about it.

TriviaEdit
- When you first enter the cave, enter & exit the normal dialouge with Ulfr, once finshed, go to the wall behind him and sneak. Then bind your controller or keyboard so you're moving backwards against the wall. This will gradually level up your Sneak.
- After you have cleared the cave out and retuned one month later there are two more bandits in the cave. These bandits will run towards the entrance as soon as you enter the cave.
BugsEdit
- It is possible for the feral wolf to get bugged and not attack any of the bandits. At the end of the battle, he will be outside of his cage howling incessantly, whilst remaining in the same place.
