The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal Hints
How can I get past these traps?
1 of 2: In part, I think those traps are just there to discourage low-level characters from trying to get too far on this particular quest. There doesn't seem to be any way to use telekinesis to turn off the traps, nor can you jump or levitate past, but a good enough sneak skill just may let you get by unscathed.
2 of 2: The best you can do is shield yourself against the damage, with whatever Shield and Resist Magicka spells/potions you have available. (Different traps seem to have different effects, so there's no safe rule like "use lightning shield, and you'll be fine.") As long as you can heal yourself between every few traps, that may be enough. As a general rule, though, they will start to get stronger the farther down the path you go.
