The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

How can I get up that ramp safely?

  • 1 of 6: There's no way to avoid activating the two spinning blade traps as you approach the ramp, so watch them closely.
  • 2 of 6: There's never a safe time to run up the middle of the ramp, so try going up one of the sides.
  • 3 of 6: There are two pillars on each side that'll put you in range of the blades as you go past them, so you'll need to time your way past them carefully.
  • 4 of 6: After the nearest blade starts going back up the ramp, follow it until you're just past the first pillar (on either side), then quickly move up against the wall.
  • 5 of 6: Jump over some rubble if necessary to reach the second pillar, then wait until the second blade goes past before you go around the pillar.
  • 6 of 6: Stay against the wall as you go up to the top of the ramp, after which you'll be safe from the blades.
