The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I deactivate this room's magic trap pedestal?
1 of 6: Keep the stone pillar that's in the center of the room between you and the pedestal as you move around and lure the nearby draugr in.
2 of 6: After you kill them off, jump onto the rubble that's next to the stone pillar.
3 of 6: Wait until the trap fires again, then immediately sprint for the area that's to the left of it.
4 of 6: Move around to a spot behind the trap pedestal to find a locked door.
5 of 6: If you can pick it open, you can get to the pedestal.
6 of 6: Edge around the pedestal slowly until you're able to take its soul gem, which will deactivate it.
