Where is the Abandoned Cabin in Skyrim
This small house is located in the swamps of Hjalmark, not far from the tomb of Folguntur. You can get to it if you go north from Morphal or east from Solitude. In general, finding this location is easy. But if you just travel through the wasteland, then stumbled upon a building, you will find that it is impossible to get into it. And you can’t get into the Abandoned Skyrim hut without a key.
Do not try to look for a chest or a cache nearby, in which there is an object that opens the door to the location, it simply does not exist. To get inside, you will have to complete several quests, they are associated with the guild of assassins - the Dark Brotherhood. In any case, if you want to go through all the tasks of the game, then you will have to get acquainted with this fraction. And in the course of completing their tasks, you will find yourself in an abandoned hut.
Skyrim: Acquaintance with the Dark Brotherhood
The Guild of Assassins is not particularly eager to accept newcomers into their ranks, and in order to become a full member of the Dark Brotherhood, you will have to complete several quests. To get started, talk to any innkeeper and find out what's new in the world. They will tell you about a boy doing strange rituals. So begins the quest "Lost Innocence"
Now your path lies in Windhelm - the capital of the Eastmark possession. The Arentino House is located just to the right of the main entrance to the city. To get inside, you will need to crack the Novice level castle, but the task is complicated by the fact that the guards walk nearby. So hack in stealth mode if you do not want to go to jail or pay a fine.
Inside the house you will find a boy who performs some kind of ritual. Arentino will take you for an assassin from the Dark Brotherhood and ask you to kill Grelood the Good - the cruel owner of the Noble orphanage.
Murder
To continue the quest, go to Riften. To the left of the entrance to the Mistvail Fortress (Jarl's House) is the Noble Orphanage, in which the purpose of your contract is located. Now you need to kill Grelood the Good. If you wish, you can wait until she enters her room to eliminate her “quietly”. Or you can kill her right in front of the children - none of them will notify the guard. True, in this case, the assistant Grelod - Constance Michelle will panic. But she will not report on your crime, so it's up to you.
After the assassination, return to Aventus Arentino and collect your reward - a family relic. At this quest, "Lost Innocence" will be completed. Then go about your business and do other tasks. At some point, the messenger will deliver to you a mysterious note in which “We know” will be written. Once you receive the letter, go to bed.
The exit from the mysterious house
After waking up, you will find that you mysteriously got into the Abandoned Skyrim hut. Immediately you will find Astrid - the head of the Dark Brotherhood, as well as three related characters. The girl will explain that by your actions you violated the plans of the assassins guild, and now you will have to work out a contract so that the faction forgive you the murder of Grelod the Good. And for this you need to kill one of the captives of your choice.
If you try to just escape, you will find the door locked. And you won’t be able to just leave the Abandoned hut in Skyrim. Where is the door key? Unfortunately, only Astrid has it. And now you need to either fulfill her mission, which will give access to the quests of the Dark Brotherhood or destroy the very head of the faction and take the key from her corpse.
If you decide to join the guild of assassins, then kill any of the captives. Choose according to your own preferences, because your choice does not affect further events. After the murder, Astrid will give you the key and tell you how to get into the faction's shelter. So begins the quest "With such and such friends ...".
If you have no desire to become a killer, then kill Astrid and take the key from her corpse. In this case, the task “Farewell, Dark Brotherhood” is activated, during which you will have to get to the shelter and kill all the members of the faction. But assassin guild quests will become unavailable.
