Detailed Walkthrough

Falco or Carnius

Speak to Falco or Carnius about your next assignment. He'll tell you that they've uncovered some sort of Burial Chamber inside the mine with some kind of impenetrable ice. If you've sided with Falco, you are to find and speak to Graring to learn more about the chamber. If you've sided with Carnius, he'll be more forthcoming and tell you that the Stalhrim is the real reason he is here and just tell you to kill Graring and his compansions

Falco: Graring

Graring can be found just South of the River divides and the Stone Bridge that crosses it. This would be the area far to the North near Lake Fralding where the two main Rivers join. Head NorthEast from Raven Rock and follow the River North when you reach it. The directions are a bit confusing, but Graring's House can be found just South of where the two rivers join up. Graring can be foudn just outside his house, though he may not wish to have any dealings with you. Similarily with his two companions.

Carnius: Graring

If you're with Carnius, Conventina will not be there and you're only option is to just kill the three Nords and grab the Nordic Pick Axe.

Falco: Bug with Conventina At this point I ran into a possible bug in the quest. Graring wouldn't talk to me and I couldn't find any way to advance the quest further. Taking a look at the quest in the editor reveals that when you first find Graring he should be under attack by Conventina Celata who might be found just East of Graring and his friends (she is disabled until you start the quest). You must defend Graring by killing Conventina to continue with the quest. Alternatively you can also solve this problem by using the RA console command.

If you arrive to Graring and Conventina is not attacking, merely attack and kill her anyways to continue with the quest. You should receive a journal entry once she is dead.

Falco: Graring Again

Once Conventina has been killed, speak to Graring again who will thank you for helping him and offer you knowledge of the Stalhrim, those strange ice-encased corpses you may have found in tombs all around the island. Graring explains that the Stalhrim can be forged like most metals. He then gives you an Ancient Nordic Pick Axe and tells you to try and chip some the Stalhrim off and bring it back to him.

Falco: Stalhrim

Follow Graring's advice and return to the mine to find the Stalhrim. The mine is rather large at this point but it shouldn't take too long to find the newly discovered tomb area and the one Stalhrim within it. If you have the Ancient Nordic Pick Axe in your inventory, you will be able to harvest the Stalhrim. You can also harvest the Stalhrim in any of the other tombs you may have previously found them in (at least 26 occurences of it).

Return with the Stalhrim to Graring and he will congratulate you and further offer to make you armor and weapons with the material (speak to his companions Aenar and Hidar for this).

Carnius: Harvest the Ice

If you're with Carnius, return to him with the ice pick and he'll tell you to retrieve one piece of the ice from the Raven Rock mine. If you're carrying the pick axe with you, you will be able to harvest the ice from the Stalhrim in the mine and in various places around the Island.

Return to Falco/Carnius

With the mystery solved, return to Falco/Carnius with the information and receive a gold reward (1000 gold with Falco and 3000 gold with Carnius). In addition, if you're with Carnius he'll mention that if you bring him more Stalhrim he will be able to craft weapons and armor for you.
