How To Get To Raven Rock In Skyrim Raven Rock is the major village on Solstheim, a vast island between Vvardenfell and Skyrim’s mainland that was included in the Skyrim Dragonborn DLC. It’s the hub for gamers embarking on the Morrowind-themed expansion, and it’s chock-full of unique characters, side quests, and other goodies that shouldn’t be overlooked.
The dilemma isn’t so much how to travel to Raven Rock as it is where to find a ship that can take a player to Solstheim. Even though Skyrim is one of the largest RPGs ever developed, swimming across the Sea of Ghosts is impossible. Players must first take a carriage to Skyrim’s oldest city, then locate someone to ferry them over the sea to Raven Rock.
Solstheim, Morrowind, and Miraak
The Dragonborn DLC’s main setting is Solstheim, while certain side quests send the player back to the Skyrim mainland to complete minor chores. It’s a Nord-controlled island that was generously given to the Dunmer people after the devastation of Red Mountain and the subsequent ashen fallout that afflicted Vvardenfell.
Players will face an old nemesis in the Dragonborn DLC: Miraak, the first Dragonborn, a Dragon Priest, and Hermaeus Mora’s champion. While the primary mission is short, several unique to Solstheim attractions (such as the Telvanni Wizard Neloth and the freshly revealed creation Ghosts of the Tribunal) make the journey to House Redoran-controlled Raven Rock worthwhile.
How to Get to Raven Rock and Solstheim
The Greybeards summon players to High Hrothgar after they vanquish the dragon at the watchtower at Whiterun. Continue on with the main questline until you’ve obtained “The Horn Of Jurgen Windcaller” following your first visit to the Greybeards. After then, Cultists may arrive and confront the Dragonborn in any location in Skyrim at any time. If you wish to skip straight to Raven Rock and the Dragonborn DLC, they’ll emerge in Whiterun. The Cultists should leave a message, which will start Dragonborn’s first quest.
After that, travel to Windhelm (using a carriage equipped with Survival Mode) and proceed to the docks. Look for Gjalund Salt-Sage, the owner of The Northern Maiden, who is frequently seen strolling the deck of his ship. Ask Gjalund to transport you to Solstheim, then bribe, convince, or intimidate your way there.
