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

How can I get across these drawbridges?

  • 1 of 9: Grab the bolts that are next to the nearby lever, then use the lever to see what it does.
  • 2 of 9: It raises the nearest drawbridge and lowers the second one. If you use it again, it'll raise the second one and lower the nearest one.
  • 3 of 9: Look over to the left of the nearest bridge. You see that archery target that's on a little platform over there?
  • 4 of 9: It may be too dim for you to see it, but there's a pressure plate on that target.
  • 5 of 9: Try hitting it with an arrow, a crossbow bolt, or a projectile spell such as Firebolt. (Note that I always find it easiest to hit such targets with arrows.)
  • 6 of 9: Hitting the target's pressure plate will affect the nearest drawbridge. It'll be raised if it starts out lowered, and vice versa.
  • 7 of 9: Now put that together with what you know about what the lever does.
  • 8 of 9: Use the lever (if necessary) to get the second drawbridge lowered, then shoot the target to get the nearest drawbridge lowered.
  • 9 of 9: Cross those two drawbridges, then use the lever past them to lower the third drawbridge.
