The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I get the gate open?
1 of 7: You'll need to use the lever after setting the gate's "combination lock" to the correct sequence.
2 of 7: Look along both sides of the passage to find six interactive pillars that can be turned to show one of three animal designs.
3 of 7: You're not supposed to already know how to set them, so search for a clue.
4 of 7: Look in the dim alcoves that are behind each pillar.
5 of 7: Up high in each alcove is a copy of one of the animal designs that's on the pillar.
6 of 7: You need to turn each pillar so that the same animal design is facing outward (out of the alcove, that is).
7 of 7: Go around and do that for all six pillars, then use the lever to open the gate.
