Hi

Can anyone help with the pressure plate puzzle. It needs a skeleton warrior to hold it down in order to open the secret door. How do I keep him in place long enough for me to get
through the door? A frost bomb would do the trick but I don't have one. Any ideas?

Thanks

The easy way would be an ice mage using the Frostbolt spell to freeze a skeleton on the pressure plate.

If you have no means of freezing a skeleton it can be done too but you need to be very precise and quick!
- step on the pressure plate yourself and wait long enough for the secret door to open completely
- wait until a skeleton walks right next to you
- step back once and while the skeleton takes your place on the plate run for and thru the door

Thanks for reply, unfortunately after a couple of hours trying your suggestion, I gave up and restarted from when I still had the freeze potion. I just wasn't fast enough to get through.

Thanks all the same

wow, that's dedicated!
