The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

How do I open the second gate?

  • 1 of 5: Have you gone back and tried all the other buttons?
  • 2 of 5: None of them will work, so look for something closer to the second gate.
  • 3 of 5: A bit to the right of it is a window looking onto a spinning dwarven mechanism.
  • 4 of 5: If you have the Dawnguard add-on game, you may recognize the device as a kinetic resonator. Notice that this one seems to be stuck.
  • 5 of 5: To unstick it, hit it with any weapon or spell. That'll cause it to spin up and open the gate.
