The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I get to that pedestal?
1 of 4: Look for an open door a short way SE of the pedestal you just used.
2 of 4: Go through it and along, bashing a shade if you encounter one, until you come to a spot with a tripwire on the floor.
3 of 4: Try to jump over it without breaking it so the swinging axe trap won't activate. If it does, sprint through it and use the lever to turn it off.
4 of 4: Past that, go along the "encaged" bridge until you reach a spot where you can jump across to the pedestal's platform.
