The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I lower the bridge?
1 of 4: Look at the gimmick that Valen's body is leaning against.
2 of 4: Try activating it to learn that you'll need the Ivory Dragon Claw.
3 of 4: If you didn't already take it from Valen's body, take it now and activate the keyhole gadget to get the bridge lowered.
4 of 4: NOTE: You can return to the first room and look on its east side for a dragon claw keyhole on the wall. Use it to lower a secret door, revealing a treasure chest.
