The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I get all of those gates to stay open?
1 of 8: Have you noticed the three large rune-carved stones nearby?
2 of 8: Watch what the gates do as you walk past each stone.
3 of 8: Your proximity to a stone activates it and raises one of the gates. However, it'll deactivate soon after you move away from it, and the gate will lower.
4 of 8: Think about what you can do to quickly zoom past the gates while they're all still open.
5 of 8: What if you used the Whirlwind Sprint shout to speed past them?
6 of 8: Go to where the three stones are between you and the gates, then aim yourself at the gates and sprint toward them.
7 of 8: As soon as they all rise up, hit the Shout key to quickly zoom past them.
8 of 8: Once you make it, they'll all three stay up, even if you go back toward the stones.
