Arx Fatalis Hints
How can I open the gate in the security room?
1 of 7: Did you notice the pressure plate in the room next to this gate?
2 of 7: It will take a great deal of weight to activate the pressure plate. Search the area for something suitable.
3 of 7: There are 3 golems standing in a row in the main chamber. They certainly look heavy enough...if only you could find a way to move them.
4 of 7: Look closely at the golems. You'll notice that two of them have a glowing orb inside their chest, while the one in the middle does not.
5 of 7: You'll need to install a heart in the golem to bring it back to life.
6 of 7: You can find a golem heart on the body of one of the dead priests. Alternatively, you can kill one of the other golems and remove its heart. Place the heart in the golem's chest to awaken it.
7 of 7: Speak to the golem and order it to follow you, then lead it down the corridor until it is standing on the pressure plate. This will cause the gate to open, allowing you to pull the lever inside.
