The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I make this room safe to cross?
1 of 6: You'll need to get to the other side, where there's a chain you can pull to deactivate the trap.
2 of 6: In order to get to the chain, you'll need to only step on pressure plates that won't trigger the trap.
3 of 6: Examine the nearest pressure plates to see what symbols are carved on them.
4 of 6: The symbol of the dragonborn was the key to lowering that bridge, so maybe it's the key to getting over to the chain.
5 of 6: Find the nearest pressure plate with the dragonborn symbol on it and step on it, then look at the plates next to it to see which one of them also has the dragonborn symbol.
6 of 6: Follow the dragonborn-symbol plates carefully along until you get within reach of the chain, then use it to make the room safe.
