The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
What's a good way to deal with the falmer in the area past the gate?
1 of 7: Sneak over to where you can sneak-shoot one of them with an arrow, then stand up and sprint back the way you came.
2 of 7: Go past the lowered spear gate and down the ramp past the button pedestals. If the falmer follow you, some dwarven spiders will drop down and attack them.
3 of 7: While they're busy fighting the spiders, go around them and past the lowered spear gate again.
4 of 7: Use the button pedestal past the gate to close it, trapping the falmer in the area with the spiders. Even if some survive, they won't be able to come after you.
5 of 7: After that's done, go past the golden doors and close them to ensure that none of the trapped falmer can hit you with ranged attacks.
6 of 7: Note that those falmer may be able to glitch their way past the spear gate while you're not looking, so you may want to kill them off before moving on.
7 of 7: Also note that not all of the falmer in the chamber followed you out. There's probably one more in the back right corner of the area.
