1 of 5: Look around for a lever.
2 of 5: Go through the door on the NW side of the room, then turn right.
3 of 5: Sprint past a magic pedestal trap in a right-side alcove, or grab its soul gem to deactivate it.
4 of 5: After the passage turns right, sprint past a flame trap's pressure plate.
5 of 5: In the small room you come to, look for the gate-opening lever near a barred window. (Also note the Alchemy skill book that's next to the lever.)
