The Nidisheim Depths is a region in the Fjordur DLC.
Overview
This cave has an underwater phase, an upward climb through an air shaft, a large room that you must fight through to get to the maze where you will use your wits to avoid pits and traps, enter in combinations to open doors to get to the Artifact!
Cave Walkthrough
The cave entrance is located underwater. Shortly after entering the cave, you will swim up into an air pocket to start making your way through the cave.
Upon exiting the water, there is a long trip straight up that you must make to enter the next part of the cave.
After you complete the climb, you will enter a large chamber where many dangerous creatures are blocking your path across the room to the small archway on the other side.
At this point, you will have entered the maze. The maze can be broken up into 2 sections that each require you to find 4 different colored statues that each have a number located near them that indicates the order that the buttons at the end of each section must be pressed to open the door. If the buttons are not pressed in the correct order a trap will cause several 
Arthropluera and 
Araneo to be dropped into the chamber. Beware pressure plates on the ground and instant death pitfalls as you traverse the maze.
SPOILER ALERT! Skip this part if you don't want to know the order for pressing buttons!
