What all have you done exactly so far before the quest part you're on? And exactly what part can't you figure out?

( I've played all through the Forgotten City, just don't remember quest names hahaoops )

Well if you don't mind spoilers, hover below (for at least the endings I've figured out, there's thee and I've figured out two of them.)

One ending I have found is if you've found Ulrin's wife (Maisi I believe is her name?), you can go tell Ulrin about her, and then he'll kill the Jarl and then I think it's fairly straight forward from there? I never went completely through with that ending.

Another ending I have found is, if you've got all the Immaculate armor pieces except for the piece that Rykas wears, then you can kill Rykas, grab the armor off of his body, then go to the Jarl's lakehouse and go through the portal again, then go into the underground passageways and get to the Arbiter, kill the Arbiter, then I believe you go through the Lakehouse (once again), and then go show the Arbiter the helmet you looted off of him the the previous timelime.

If you need me to clarify a bit more on that second one I can. And I think the other ending you can get is if you tell the Jarl who you think is a threat to the city, I am not fully sure on that though.

By the way... I see that this is almost year old... But I'll try asking, maybe someone will reply. How do I get the best ending? The one where I save the city and become a hero?

That would be the second spoiler from the post above with 3 spoilers.
1. gather all of the armor except for the chest piece. 2. Kill Rykus, and steal his armor. This will trigger an apocalypse when you hit him. 3. Follow Merritus into the lake house, and go back through the portal. You'll wind up right back at the beginning of the happy in-the-past city. 4. Now that you have the armor, you can go down to the tunnels and kill the arbiter. 5. This will trigger another apocalypse. Go through the lake house again. 6. Now, you can go show the arbiter your cool new helmet, and he'll listen when you tell him to stop with the dwarves law. You might be able to kill him again by tabbing out of the conversation and just attacking him. Double the helmet! 7. You've successfully created a paradox whilst not breaking the dwarves law, thereby creating the happy ending.

One more thing: I couldn't figure out the "right" way to get into the abandoned palace. Very clever and careful goat-like mountain climbing can get you in, if you fight with it long enough. Face towards the abandoned palace from the center of town. Look towards the tower that is on the right side of the palace from this angle. There is a corner that climbs up right next to that tower that you can use to get into the top floor.

you can also get in by climbing the coffins in the palace entrace, and get on top of the pipe overhead. it will take you over the blocked gate.

<SPOILER>

I found out you can pursuade the Arbiter and not need to kill him. I assume you need good speech to pass the two persuasion checks however... or just have the Amulet of Articulation you get from becoming the Thieves Guild Master which makes persuasions work almost every time.

Is there any way to save the city? A looter entered the city and killed the Jarl, and I got blamed for it.

Do the following:

Gather all pieces of the immaculate Dwarven Armour (gauntlets in abandoned palace, boots in Brandas' House, helmet in Underground tunnels before you get to the radiated part, and the armour on Rykas - you need to kill him). If you kill rykas last go to the lake house and wait for the jarl to come and create the portal, go through the portal, and then while wearing all pieces of the armour go back to the underground tunnels and proceed to the very bottom.

This is the way to save the town.

where are the under tunnels

[Mr. Monday]

If you enter any just about home there's a door that requires a key to unlock. The jarl has the key and will give it to you under specific circumstances. Those doors lead to the tunnels under the city.

This mod is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥, who would have thought about all that if it weren't for Google?

There is a complete guide to the choices on one of the Skyrim wikis or reddit.
