The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I get through the second path area?
1 of 8: In it, you'll need to watch out for numerous dart traps and patches of painful light that can burn your health down fast -- even if you have the TGM cheat code on!
2 of 8: The Candelight spell would be very helpful here, so cast it if you can. It'll help you see in the dark areas, which is where you'll have to stay to avoid getting fried.
3 of 8: Move along the dark path that goes between the two nearest light patches to reach some steps. There's a tripwire on the steps, so crouch-walk up them slowly until you trip it, then back up a bit to avoid getting hit by the dart trap.
4 of 8: There's another tripwire at the top of the steps on the other side of the stone platform, so crouch-run quickly down them to avoid more darts.
5 of 8: Move past the second light patch to find a third one, then go around to the back of the structure that's on its right side.
6 of 8: Use the wooden stairs to get on top of the structure, then hit the tripwire that's at the start of the bridge and quickly dodge to the side to avoid more darts.
7 of 8: Cross the bridge and go up some more wooden stairs, then turn right and carefully avoid the tripwire as you go down some stone stairs.
8 of 8: At the bottom of the stairs, wait for your Candlelight spell to wear off (if you've cast one), then use the very narrow strip of darkness to get to the iron door that leads to the third path area without getting sizzled.
