The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I open that gate?
1 of 5: Look around for interactive gadgets.
2 of 5: Look on the table that's directly south of the gate.
3 of 5: There's a Ruby Dragon Claw on a small pedestal. That's bound to be useful at some point.
4 of 5: Taking the Ruby Dragon Claw will open the gate, but it'll also "wake up" four nearby draugr.
5 of 5: TIP: Go around and kill all four draugr one at a time before picking up the claw to avoid having to fight them all at once.
