Detailed Walkthrough

Upon entering Selene's Web, speak with Warlock Carindon. He will explain that they are searching for a forest spirit named Selene, and requests that your group offer protection in case things go awry. Following this, you will be ordered to accompany Apprentice Patraud in attempting to make contact with the local Bosmer. The hostile Bosmer will quickly kill Patraud and attack.

Speak with Carindon again, who will insist that the group presses on. The next group of Bosmer you encounter will be surrounding a giant spider, which quickly flees, leaving you to fight the Bosmer and their leader, Treethane Kerninn. Continue through the dungeon until you come to Longclaw, a Khajiit who will set his Senche-Tigers on you. After killing them, they will be resurrected as Senche Spirits by Selene, and Longclaw will descend to fight with them. The spirits respawn indefinitely, so it's best to ignore them and focus on defeating Longclaw.

Eventually you will reach the entrance to Selene's Sanctum, which is blocked by a magical barrier. You will have to continue on without the mages as they focus on bringing down the barrier. Continue forward, fighting through spiders and hoarvors as well as Bosmer. At the end of the path, a giant bear called Foulhide will appear. Selene's Roses will continuously sprout out of the ground as well, although Foulhide's charging attack will help keep them at bay. Once you've defeated the bear, Journeyman Mirondil will appear and ask that you return to the group.

Backtrack to the barrier, where you will find Warlock Carindon standing alone. The other mages were all killed in an ambush, although they were able to successfully destroy the barrier. Enter Selene's Sanctum, and fight your way towards the giant web in the center. Fight Selene in her spider form until the web breaks, which will bring you down a level. Once her health reaches zero, she will transform into a humanoid spellcaster. After she dies, Carindon will capture her soul and thank you for your help. You will be given Selene's Battle Greaves, a skill point, and gold as a reward.
