Skyrim: How to find the golden claw

This practical tip shows you how to find the golden claw in the role-playing game The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

Find the golden claw in Skyrim

The quest for the golden claw is available from dealer Lukan in the Riverwood trading office:

1. An amulet in the form of a golden claw was stolen from the dealer, which you must now obtain again. To do this, Lukan sends you to the Barrow Tomb.
2. Pay particular attention to the traps there. If you follow the given route, you will be taken to a puzzle with three rotating stones on which different symbols are depicted.
3. The correct order for the symbols is from front to back: snake, snake, fish.
4. You then pass a spider's nest of a frost spider, which you can kill with fire magic.
5. In a spider web you will find a man, who you can also free yourself from with fire magic.
6. Unfortunately, the Blessed One does not appreciate your rescue. Kill him and take the golden claw from him.
7. Return to the trading office and hand over the golden claw to Lukan.

If you can't find the way back right away, you should use the clairvoyance spell. You can read how this works in another practical tip.
