The Beast's Maw

Upon entering, head north into an abandoned miner's camp guarded by three rats. Scattered across the room are a bedroll, a key-requiring chest, a knapsack, an ore barrel, a potion of stamina, a steel sword, three corundum ores in a cart, a corundum vein and a crate of drinks including a bottle of Applewatch Cider. On a table is a letter from a prospecting miner encouraging his brother to join him in plumbing the riches of the cave. To the north is a small tunnel with a rat and another corundum vein. Head west instead, past a rat and an open chest, ducking into a tunnel to the west to loot a miner's skeleton.

Press north past a deer carcass, two more rats and a locked chest (leveled, minimum apprentice) until you arrive in a room where a troll guards a set of bloody bones, a corundum vein, three corundum ores in a box and an Iron War Axe.

Take the southern tunnel, slaying two more rats and grabbing a coin purse, before arriving at an intersection. The northern tunnel takes you to an expert-locked chest and an ore barrel, though it then leads to a dead end flooded with shallow water. The southern tunnel leads to a large room with a small lake, guarded by the boss-level monstrous troll. This is very hard fight, particularly at lower levels.

Scattered across the room are five skeletons, plenty of bloodied bones, a leveled enchanted bow, a leveled enchanted mace, two corundum veins and a nirnroot plant. On the nearby eviscerated corpse of the unfortunate miner you will find the key to the chest in the campsite. Head back to that room and open the chest, which holds some gold and a prized iron club.

Towards the center of the campsite room is a hole in ground: jump down, which will cost some health, and you will arrive in a tunnel with three rats and chest sitting atop a rocky ledge to the south. Head east past another rat and you will end up in the previous room with the lake. From here, take the southeastern tunnel, looting a corundum vein on the way. In an alcove to the north is a troll, two corundum veins and a deer carcass. Press west until you arrive in a small room with a hole; jumping down takes you back to the very first room.
