Verify you have at least two wooden plates in your inventory. Wooden plates serve as skeleton keys that allow you to enter locked or hidden gates and rooms in Skyrim.- If you lack wooden plates, navigate to Riverwood and enter the second house on the right. The table upstairs has wooden plates available that can be used for this mission.
Open your map and use the Fast Travel system to go to Dragonsreach. This house is located north of Whiterun Hold in the Cloud District, and can also be accessed by foot or carriage.[1]Advertisement
Run up the stairs and enter the room on the left after entering Dragonsreach.
Continue running across the room, and descend to the basement using the stairs.
Enter the storage room on the left and close the doors behind you. This prevents other characters in Dragonsreach from seeing your character and disturbing your quest.
Position your character directly against the wall opposite the doors. You may need to double-jump to get stuck in the corner between the wall and sacks of grain. The goal is to get your character directly against the wall so you can access the hidden room on the other side of the wall.
Drop a wooden plate in front of you, then have your character pick up the item.
Hold the plate directly in front of you, then walk into the plate. The wooden plate acts as a portal so you can access the secret room on the other side of the wall. After entering the room, you’ll see the Ebony Blade lying on a table.
Walk up to the table and pick up the Ebony Blade. The blade will now be added to your inventory.[2]
Position your character in front of the wall that takes you back to the storage room.
Repeat steps #7 and #8 using a second wooden plate to re-enter the storage room. The Ebony Blade is now in your possession and you can continue on with your quest.

Tips
Warnings
