The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
What am I supposed to do here?
1 of 7: First, activate the pedestal at the right end of the control area to place the blank lexicon on it.
2 of 7: That'll open up the buttons on the rightmost two button pedestals, so try pressing them a few times.
3 of 7: Notice that they both affect the top of the large round device, seemingly in opposite directions.
4 of 7: Watch the two button pedestals on the left side as you press buttons on the right-side pedestals. Your first goal is to activate one of left-side pedestals.
5 of 7: Do that by pressing the button on the left (taller) of the two right-side pedestals until the taller left-side pedestal's button opens up.
6 of 7: Press it to see that it affects the lens array that's over the large round device.
7 of 7: Press it again to get the leftmost button pedestal activated, then press its button to finish the sequence.
