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

How can I remove the spears and open the gate?

  • 1 of 7: Look around the area for some sort of control device.
  • 2 of 7: There's a circular stone platform on the bridge that connects the highest floors that has three dynamo actuator devices on it.
  • 3 of 7: One of the actuators has a centurion dynamo core in it, but the other two are missing.
  • 4 of 7: If you didn't bring any with you, and don't feel like going back to where you have some stored (if you do), you'll need to take down and loot the two dwarven centurions who are down near the main floor.
  • 5 of 7: Sneak-attack one of the centurions from on the circular platform, then stay on it and maneuver around to avoid the centurion's steam blasts while you continue to attack it.
  • 6 of 7: Loot it after it's down, then activate one of the empty dynamo actuators to place the centurion's dynamo core on it. Depending on which actuator you put it on, the gate will open or the spears will retract.
  • 7 of 7: Repeating that process with the other centurion will get the gate opened *and* the spears retracted, and you'll be able to move into the next room.
