Lost in Blackreach

Blackreach in a huge cavern-like Dwarwen ruin that connects Alftand, Raldbthar and Mzinchaleft. I had been there before as part of the quests 'Elder Knowledge' and 'Discerning the Transmundane', and did not like the place at all. Now I had to return to the cave filled with glowing supersized mushrooms in order to complete another quest 'Return To Your Roots'. I wasn't looking forward to this at all.


First I visited Sinderions field lab - only to find out I'd have to go collect 30 crimson nirnroots! 30! Not 5 or 10 or even 20 but bloody 30! I'd be there all evening!

And thats exactly what happened. I spent a total of 4,5 hours wandering around Blackreach, killing an odd Flamer, Dwarwen Machine or Chaurus and tryin to see that red glow or hear the bell-like calling of a nirnroot. Eventually, I did find them all. Some of them were inside the buildings, some up on cliffs, some almost underwater and some just by the side of the path waiting to be picked. The fun wasn't over  yet tho cuz I happened to get completely and utterly lost. My compass was stubbornly only pointin at one possible exit, which happened to be behind an iron gate to which I just couldn't find the lever. After almost an hour of frustration, swearing and random running around I finally found myself at the lift of Tower of Mzark and ended the Blackreach nightmare with hopes of never returning.
