The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
How can I get the gate open?
1 of 8: First, note that you can use the Telekinesis spell to pull in the helmet and grab it without having to open the gate.
2 of 8: If you want to open the gate, you'll need to set the two interactive pillars correctly and then pull the chain.
3 of 8: There are no carved animal clues around, but think about how you set the pillars in the throne room to open the grating and the armor artifact's gate.
4 of 8: You used two whales for one of them, and two hawks for the other one.
5 of 8: What symbol didn't you use at all?
6 of 8: You didn't use the snake.
7 of 8: So turn these two pillars so the snake symbol is facing directly away from the gate on both of them.
8 of 8: You can then pull the chain to open the gate, but watch out for the pressure plate on the floor that activates a spear trap. Also, grab the helm while standing on either side of the pillar to avoid a painful flame jet.
