The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

How can I open the gate at the end of the path?

  • 1 of 5: You'll need to use two levers and then run through the gate before it closes.
  • 2 of 5: Go back along the golden path and up the first set of stairs to find more stairs to your left and your right.
  • 3 of 5: Each of those sets of stairs leads to one of the levers. Find both of them and get familiar with the shortest path between the two.
  • 4 of 5: Quicksave next to one of the levers, then use it and sprint over to the other lever.
  • 5 of 5: Drop down from it to the floor below, taking as little damage as possible, then sprint through the gate before it closes. (Hopefully, Brynjolf and Karliah will make it through, too.)
