The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

What do I do when I come to a dead end with two closed metal gates?

  • 1 of 5: Look around for some push buttons.
  • 2 of 5: There's one on the base of the statue that's between the two gates.
  • 3 of 5: But pressing it will only open a floor trap beneath you.
  • 4 of 5: However, that's the way to go, so do it.
  • 5 of 5: TIP: Stand next to the statue's base to press the button so that you're not automatically dropped. That way, you can carefully drop down onto a large root and then to the floor below to avoid taking any falling damage.
