The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I open the gate in the banquet hall?
1 of 5: By using a lever on its other side, as before.
2 of 5: Go through the banquet hall's southern doors, then move forward to where you can see an oil spill ahead.
3 of 5: Ignite it to help roast a draugr wight that's around the corner, then go past another oil spill.
4 of 5: In the next room, several draugr will break out and attack, so you might want to quickly retreat past the oil spill and use it against them.
5 of 5: Go up the log stairs in the back of the room, then turn right to find the area with the lever that opens the gate.
