The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
How can I get this gate open?
1 of 6: Looking around, you'll find three pressure plates on the ground, one of which has a book on it.
2 of 6: There's also a target-style pressure plate on the wall above the gate.
3 of 6: Maybe if all four pressure plates were activated at the same time, the gate would open.
4 of 6: For the ground plates, you'll need to put items on them to keep them activated. Note that there are some mushrooms you can pick nearby, plus a sack with some random vegetables in it. (Also note that standing on a pressure plate will weight it down.)
5 of 6: Once all three ground plates are weighted down, shoot the target's plate to open the gate.
6 of 6: NOTE: You can reclaim the items you put on pressure plates if you want to, since the gate will stay open.
