Use a wooden plate on the wall to the left side of the main entrance (behind the lamppost).

The horse will spawn on the ground below (or on the roof, and then fall to the ground) and it can be mounted to bypass the wall. Once as high as possible, run towards the roof of the main building and cast Summon Arvak while pointing at it aim roughly halfway down the length of the roof. Then, facing north, there will be a wall acting as a divider between the player and the main (outdoor) area from 'Diplomatic Immunity.' Where the outer wall and dividing wall meet, jump until clipping up the divider an invisible wall will make it impossible to go over, but it is feasible to get relatively far up.

If one has obtained the Summon Arvak spell from the Soul Cairn, face the main entrance that requires a key and run to the outer wall directly to the east.

There are several ways to enter the embassy (including locked areas) after the completion of 'Diplomatic Immunity.' Keep in mind that these tricks (aside from the first) require several tries to succeed. Enemies will only be present in the second courtyard, the buildings will be empty. This grants access to the Stone of Barenziah without requiring one to complete any of the main quests. Jump repeatedly against the fence/wall while on horseback and the horse will float upwards and over the invisible wall.

The easiest method is simply staggering, or hammering a horse through the main entrance, mounting it, then trotting over to the left side of the building blocking access to the second courtyard beyond.

Gaining access Before 'Diplomatic Immunity'ĭespite the Thalmor Embassy only being impossible to enter through normal methods before the quest 'Diplomatic Immunity,' there are still ways one can access it before the quest.

The barracks in the Thalmor Embassy can still be accessed after Diplomatic Immunity and is a great source of Altmer blood, which is needed for activating the Dwemer mechanism at Septimus Signus's Outpost. Attempting to escape, the Dragonborn discovers Etienne Rarnis, a member of the Thieves Guild who was being interrogated by the Thalmor in regards to Esbern's presence in Riften.Īs of Patch 1.4, the Unusual Gem has been moved from Elenwen's Solar to Reeking Cave, next to the Conjurer's corpse.

The Dragonborn does, however, learn that a Dragon Loremaster of the Blades, Esbern, is in Skyrim and is wanted by the Thalmor. Disguised as a guest attending Elenwen's party, the Dragonborn creates a distraction and discovers several dossiers and letters about the Civil War in Skyrim, but nothing about the Dragon Crisis. Hoping to discover secret information about the Dragon Crisis, Delphine sends the Dragonborn to the Thalmor Embassy.
