The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
How can I get that gate open?
1 of 8: You'll need to go the other way at the path split and look for a lever or pull chain that'll open it.
2 of 8: You can see the pull chain you need through a window, but you can't reach it from there.
3 of 8: Look to the left of the window for a narrow passage to the left of some wooden walls.
4 of 8: Sneak down the stairs and into a large room with some death hounds in a pen. As you move into the room, make sure you don't step on the large floor grating, since it'll dump you into a pit full of spikes.
5 of 8: If you're sneaky enough, you'll be able to get to where you can ignite an oil spill with the Flames spell before the vampire and thrall who are standing on the spill detect you. Finish them off, then kill any death hounds they managed to release.
6 of 8: Go up the wooden ramp that winds around one of the room's two central stone pillars, then cross the short bridge that leads to a side area.
7 of 8: Make your way along to the other end of the side area to find the small room with the window and pull chain.
8 of 8: Use the chain to open both of the nearby closed gates, then go past the nearest one to shortcut your way back to the other one.
