The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I move on past this area?
1 of 6: The locked door just leads to some optional treasure, so look around for something else.
2 of 6: Notice that there's a lever in a niche near a doorway that's covered with stone.
3 of 6: Using the lever at first will only set off a dart trap, so look for other interactive items.
4 of 6: Examine the room's central section to find that it has three rotatable pillars.
5 of 6: Look across from each pillar to see two carvings on the wall that show what symbol the pillar needs to be turned to.
6 of 6: Turn each pillar to match the nearest wall carvings, then use the lever to open up the doorway.
