The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
How can I open this gate?
1 of 7: Follow Tharstan around and listen to what he says, especially about the "impact stones."
2 of 7: Notice that across from each pedestal with an impact stone on it is another pedestal that has a weapon on it.
3 of 7: Perhaps you should use those weapons to "impact" the impact stones that are directly across from them.
4 of 7: As it turns out, you can use any weapon of the same type on the stones, not just the specific ones that are there.
5 of 7: When you hit an impact stone with the right type of attack, its color will change, and the runes engraved underneath it will start glowing.
6 of 7: Hit the SW stone with any fire-based spell, the SE stone with any sword, and the northern stone with an arrow fired from any bow.
7 of 7: Once you do all of those correctly, the gate will open.
