The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I open the ghost's gate?
1 of 6: Look NE of the closed gate for an open one that allows access to a room with four levers on the walls.
2 of 6: Experiment with the levers one at a time to see what each one does.
3 of 6: You'll find that the two left-hand levers each toggle both gates' open/closed status, the first right-hand lever toggles only the nearest gate's status, and the second right-hand lever activates a dart trap.
4 of 6: Since opening the ghost's gate is useless if the nearest one is closed, it's clear that the first right-hand lever must be raised.
5 of 6: Raise it and either of the two left-hand levers to open both gates.
6 of 6: Note that raising the first left-hand lever will close a gate that blocks your path to the barrow's exit, so it's best to raise the second left-hand lever instead.
