Hidden Knowledge Achievement in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Hidden Knowledge
40Learn the secrets of 5 Black Books
How to unlock Hidden Knowledge
There are a total of 7 Black books to be found throughout Solstheim. 2 of these are found during the main storyline and are therefor unmissable. The first of these is found in the Temple of Miraak during the mission 'The Temple of Miraak'. The second one is found during the mission 'The Path of Knowledge', at the end of the dwemer ruin Nchardak.
There then exists 5 more throughout Solstheim, but you will only need 3 more for the achievement. 3 of the 5 remaining Black Books aren't tied to any quests and are therefor the easier of the 5 remaining ones as you can explore these dungeons at your own leisure.
The location for these 5 remaining Black Books are as follows,- Filament and Filigree - Kolbjorn Barrow (end of Unearthed sidequest)
- The Hidden Twilight - Tel Mithryn (After finishing several sidequests for Neloth, he'll give you a key to the room containing the book.)
- The Sallow Regent - White Ridge Barrow
- The Winds of Change - Raven Rock Mine (You'll pick this one up since it's in the same area as one of the words for the Dragon Aspect shout and achievement.)
- Untold Legends - Benkongerike
