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

How can I open this second gate?

  • 1 of 9: Did you listen to what Katria said soon after you entered the room?
  • 2 of 9: She called the odd, spinny dwarven device near the first gate a kinetic resonator.
  • 3 of 9: She also said to hit them to get them to do what they're supposed to.
  • 4 of 9: Notice that the second gate has a kinetic resonator near it.
  • 5 of 9: Also notice that the first gate will open and close whenever its kinetic resonator gadget spins up or down.
  • 6 of 9: The gate is closed when the resonator is in its down position, and it's up when the resonator is in its up position.
  • 7 of 9: The resonator near the second gate stays in its down position. That must be why that gate stays closed.
  • 8 of 9: Take Katria's advice about hitting the resonator.
  • 9 of 9: Hit it with any weapon or combat spell to get it to move up and open the gate.
