The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
How can I get that gate open?
1 of 5: Look to the left and right of it to see two interactive pillars on each side.
2 of 5: Look above each pillar to see that three of them have a stone face with an animal carving in its mouth up high.
3 of 5: Start by rotating all three of those pillars to match the stone faces' carvings.
4 of 5: You can then keep trying rotations on the fourth pillar, using the handle on the nearby pedestal each time, until the gate opens. Or you can go looking for the missing stone face.
5 of 5: Go up the log stairs that are NW of the handle's pedestal, then go along the upper walkway until you find the missing stone face. Make note of its animal carving, then go set the "face-less" pillar to show that symbol.
