Stuck in Shroud Hearth Barrow

Post » Wed May 16, 2012 4:52 pm

It's the barrow outside Ivarstead where you kill the dark elf pretending to be a ghost (I forget his name). I got the Sapphire Dragon Claw and made my way through the dungeon but now I'm stuck. There's a room with a door that seems to be opened with 4 rotating stones, the usual snake, bird and whale (kinda? looks like a whale to me). There's a raised bridge to a doorway that's blocked by a sliding gate. I have no clue how to advance from here, must have spent at least an hour looking for clues to the correct combination of symbols or how to lower the bridge (I actually managed to jump the gap, but there was nothing there except for the closed gate). What have I missed? Is there a quest I need to pick up to continue or something?

You have to stand on a disc after you have the correct symbols. For me, an axe was on the disc so it didn't work until I moved it.

But how do I know what the correct symbols are? I was scouring that place for ages, but couldn't find any clues. I may have gone blind:P

There's a room right nearby that has them. It also has a disc on the floor, when you stand on it, door-like things rotate and give you glimpses of the keystones.

Sorry, I can't find the room you mean. Been searching the whole place for it, no sign. Is the entrance to the room in the same room as the keystones? There's a small sewer-like room behind a gate in the water, but there's nothing there.

Those stones that you rotate are arranged like this.

/-\ /-\ DOOR /-\ /-\

Go through DOOR. As I recall a Draugr burst out of that door. That room has the sequence.

Well I just made the biggest facepalm of my life:P Seriously, I must have stood at that door and mashed the "e" button about 5 times over the course of an hour >.< Maybe I was at a bad angle or something. Or it's the Bethesda curse:P Anyhow, thanks a lot for your help!
