The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I get past these pedestal traps?
1 of 4: As with all magic pedestal traps, removing their soul gems will deactivate them.
2 of 4: Either charge them and grab the soul gems, or shoot at the soul gems with a bow or ranged spells. (Fireball is ideal here.)
3 of 4: Another option is to run past them without deactivating them.
4 of 4: The best way to do that is to move from the first stone pillar to the second one, then quickly sprint through the doorway on the left.
