Darkfall Cave is a location in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard. The cave is located north of Markarth in the Reach. It is inhabited by Frostbite Spiders and trolls. As part of the Dawnguard questline in the quest "Touching the Sky," the Dragonborn must enter this cave to search for Auriel's Bow after learning its location from the Elder Scroll. At the end of the cave, they find one of the last remaining Snow Elves, Knight-Paladin Gelebor if the relevant quest has been started. The cave itself is moderately sized, and contains some water-filled areas, including one part where the Dragonborn can be briefly completely submerged. The cave is poorly lit in some areas. If the cave is accessed when the quest "Touching the Sky" is active, it leads to Darkfall Passage.
