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

How can I get those gates open?

  • 1 of 5: Keep following Tharstan as he goes down some stairs and takes note of the corpses and the fire pit.
  • 2 of 5: Perhaps those two items have to do with the sacrifice that the pedestal's inscription mentions.
  • 3 of 5: Use Grab mode to drag one of the dead draugr onto the fire pit's grating.
  • 4 of 5: Go back up the stairs and use the handle that's on the pedestal underneath the etched tablet.
  • 5 of 5: Doing that will satisfy the sacrificial requirements, and both gates will open.
