The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
What do I do in the third path area?
1 of 9: Move along the passage until you come to a dead bandit next to a big statue.
2 of 9: Look behind the statue to find what's obviously a "secret" door, then look for a way to open it.
3 of 9: On either side of the statue are pull chains next to large head carvings.
4 of 9: Pull both chains to open the door, then go through it and on to a path split.
5 of 9: If you go left at the split, you'll come to a master-lock door. If you can pick it open, you can sneak through the next area (or fight its sentinels) to get to the door that leads to the Twilight Sepulcher Inner Sanctum area (where the fourth path area is).
6 of 9: If you can't pick that lock, you'll need to take the other path, which is full of traps.
7 of 9: Start by going around a dart trap's floor plate to get to the start of a swinging blades trap.
8 of 9: Quicksave, then time your sprint through them so you won't get hacked, veering left as soon as you're past them to avoid another pressure plate.
9 of 9: Stand to the left of the door when you open it to avoid a battering ram trap, then go past it to find the door to the inner sanctum.
