Question
I didn't explore Blackreach much during the Elder Knowledge quest, and I also didn't complete the A Return To Your Roots quest. It took quite a while to fight through Alftand to get there the first time so I'm hoping there is a quicker way to get in?
Answer
Alftand is the only way in... initially. As you adventure, you can take elevators back up to the surface, from which you can unlock gates leading out into skyrim proper.
As per the UESP, here are the potential entrances into Blackreach:
- Great Lift at Alftand - (initial access via here)
- Great Lift at Mzinchaleft
- Great Lift at Raldbthar
- Alftand - (outside the rest of the ruins)
- Mzinchaleft - (outside the rest of the ruins)
- Raldbthar - (outside the rest of the ruins)
- Tower of Mzark - Map Marker not visible by default, shows up after you exit with the attuned cube for Discerning the Transmudae
While several of these locations are fast-travelable-to, the Tower of Mzark is likely to be the quickest way into Blackreach, as it's associated "wing" is quite small, with no enemies to boot.
By contrast, some of the other ruins, like Alftand, or Mzinchaleft, still have goodly portions of dwemer dungeon ruin between their elevator and blackreach, which will restock their dwarven spheres and spiders from time to time. Since Mzark doesn't have enemies to begin with, it will always be enemy free.
