The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

For this achievement you will have to either travel to Arkngthamz or find a book in Fort Dawnguard called The Aetherium Wars read it and also take it.



When you enter inside Arkngthamz a ghost voice will keep telling you to turn back , you just keep going and soon you will meet Katria ,accept her offer to help and then the quest will begin Lost to the Ages.Not far from where you meet Katria you will find her body and you can search her to get Katria's Journal.

You will get to a point when Katria will say that this is where she had her fall and that her bow is at the big log there , when this happens do go and get the bow Zephyr as you will need it if you do not have a bow on you.

You will get to a place where the Tonal Lock will be,basically you will need to arrow hit the blue marks in a correct order ,aw and don't worry about arrows as there are plenty on the floor near the dead skeleton you can just pick some up or if your a mage you can just fireball them as that works also.

Now if you check the Katria's Journal you can find the number 1 is the bottom left , the 2 is bottom right and the rest are trial and error but here i will list them anyway.
1.Bottom left
2.Bottom right
3.Top left
4.Top right
5.Middle

Go inside and get your 1st piece of Aetherium Shard (1/4).

Now can exit this place and travel to Raldbthar.


Here are some bandits and after those will be falmers. You will get to a point where you will have to remove human parts from the mechanism , just have in mind that one is underwater.
Soon after you get the 2nd piece of Aetherium (2/4).

Next location is near Mzulft called Dwarven Storeroom North of Riften.


After you lockpick the Expert on the Door the Aetherium shard is behind it (3/4).

The last piece is at a small shrine after crossing the Deep Folk Crossing located north-east of Markarth(4/4).




Now we going to the Forge and that's in the Ruins of Bthalft.


Here when you do get inside you will need to either use a bow again on the 2 blue mechanism or just fireball them to open the door.

Defeat the guardians and then you can craft 1 item out of 3 :

Aetherial Crown : 2 Flawless Sapphire
2 Dwarven Metal Ingot
2 Gold Ingot
1 Aetherium Crest


Aetherial Shield : 4 Dwarven Metal Ingot
2 Regined Malachite
1 Aetherium Crest


Aetherial Staff : 2 Dwarven Metal Ingot
2 Ebony Ingot
1 Gold Ingot
1 Aetherium Crest


Now while you are looking at the forge turn right and go to the table , there's a chest on the table and inside are all the materials you need.

Take them all and craft what you will like , after that you talk to the ghost and achievement pops.

Good luck and enjoy Skyrim on the One .
