The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
How can I get this door open?
1 of 14: You've already got the two pieces of the dragon claw that opens the door, but you'll need to figure out the three-symbol combination before it'll work.
2 of 14: The combo isn't etched on the claw like it is with every other puzzle door in the game, so you'll need to look around the hallway for some clues.
3 of 14: You won't be able to interpret any of the hallway's etchings, so stick close to Tharstan and listen to what he has to say. (If he doesn't enter the area soon after you do, wait an hour to get him to show up.)
4 of 14: He'll go over to one of the large wall carvings and tell you what he thinks the combination is.
5 of 14: He says the first one has to do with breeze or wings.
6 of 14: Turn the door's outer ring a few times to see that your choices are a dragon, a wolf, and a hawk.
7 of 14: Both the dragon and the hawk have wings, but it's unlikely that the dragon depends very much on air currents for its flying.
8 of 14: So the outer ring needs to be set to the hawk symbol.
9 of 14: Tharstan says the second carving has to do with the night sky and the moon.
10 of 14: Checking the middle ring, you'll see that your choices are the same as with the outer ring.
11 of 14: Since wolves often howl at the moon, and the wolf carving seems to be in the process of doing just that, set the middle ring to the wolf symbol.
12 of 14: The third symbol clue that Tharstan gives you has to do with fire and scales.
13 of 14: That's clearly referring to dragons, so set the inner ring to the dragon symbol.
14 of 14: You can then activate the keyhole to open the door.
