Walkthrough

Huge cheese

The camp is near the White River downstream from Valtheim Towers and Darkshade. To reach it, follow the road east from Valtheim Towers. Shortly after a hairpin bend to the right at the bottom of the hill, you will see a ford on your left with an iron ore vein visible on the other side. Follow this path up to reach the camp.

A single giant occupies the camp, which consists of a central campfire that has been extinguished, two mammoth cheese bowls, a stacked woodpile with a dead painted cow on top which can be looted for raw beef and a cow hide, an unlocked chest with a leveled healing potion and a leveled stamina potion next to it, and a huge pile of straw that probably serves as the giant's bed, though you will never see him sleep in it. Among the ashes of the fire are three potatoes, three leeks, a sliced Eidar cheese, and an unusually large Eidar cheese wheel, the largest of these in the game. A single stake with a charred skeever is cooking over the fire. A few feet west of the campfire, a knapsack, a leveled enchanted helm, and a ring can be found on three separate skeletons that appear to have been crushed by a huge rock.

Notes

• 320 feet east-northeast of the camp is an unmarked location containing a shrine of Talos, an unlocked chest, and a copy of the Heavy Armor skill book 2920, MidYear, v6.
• Cradlecrush Rock appears as a fort in ESO.
