Investigate Beldaburo

You’ll find Beldaburo to the far west of Kvatch along the sea. Once you arrive, head inside then follow the linear path, passing an Ayleid Cask on a pedestal in the middle of the room.
OPTIONAL: You can lockpick the hard lock on the left side of the hallway to reach a room with two skeletons in it. There will also be two chests in this room!
When you emerge from the hallway, look to your right to spot a button on the wall and press it.

Next, continue forward and grab the Varla Stone from its pedestal in the center of the room.

Head straight then when the path forks, take a left to loot two chests then follow the pathway around and take the first left into a dead end. Press the button on the wall.

Continue down the stairs to reach a room with a fire pit in the middle.

OPTIONAL:

On the north side of this room, crouch through the small space to reveal a hidden room with an altar. Make quick work of the lock to the right on the gate as poisonous gas will fill this room.

Down the small path, you’ll find a chest.
When you’re ready to proceed, head down one of the two paths across from the fire. Both will merge together on the other side. Approach the door with the tree to trigger a quest update.
Report Back to Ilav
Travel back to Ilav in Kvatch to tell of your findings. He’ll give you a special blessing to open the door in the ruins. The “A Wound in Time” quest will end and the “Saving Time Itself” quest will begin.
