The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I get around to the other side of the gate?
1 of 6: Go down the path split's eastern passage until you can turn right to find a swinging axe trap.
2 of 6: Sprint your way through it, then watch for two more ghostly cultists to appear in the next room.
3 of 6: Look to the right of the room's exit door to find Skorm Snow-Strider's journal on a table. Take it to complete the "(Optional) Find Skorm Snow-Strider's journal" objective, then go through the exit door and another one to reach another ghost-inhabited room.
4 of 6: Past it is another room with a ghost in it, followed by yet another one. At least the room after that has two draugr wights in addition to the usual ghost.
5 of 6: In the corridor past the wight room's door are a couple of flame-spewing traps and a draugr scourge.
6 of 6: Go to the NE end of the corridor to find that you're now on the other side of the closed gate, which you can optionally open by using the lever that's on the wall a ways to the right of it.
