Draugr and Blades Trap Tips
1 of 4: Quicksave before you enter the crypt room, then sprint across it to reach the swinging blades trap.
2 of 4: Sprint quickly through the trap right after the nearest blade swings by, then stop next to its other end and wait for the first draugr to reach you.
3 of 4: He'll probably be injured when he does, and the other draugr will line up behind him. Hack or blast the first draugr (or just stand and block his blows) while the others get killed by the swinging blades.
4 of 4: After they're all down, use the nearby chain to deactivate the blades.
