You will be unable to damage Gauldurson until Tolfdir turns his attention to the orb and strikes it with lightning. Tolfdir will make a remark about the orb and will awaken a particularly powerful draugr by the name of Jyrik Gauldurson. Once you reach the end of Saarthal, you will spot a gigantic glowing orb. If it didn’t work, reload your earlier save and start from the top.ĭefeat Jyrik Gauldurson. If you have done this correctly, pulling the lever should open the way forward. Mentally note this pillar as “four” and rotate it to show the whale.



To solve the puzzle, start by orienting yourself. This second puzzle is a bit trickier as rotating three of the four pillars will also rotate other pillars.
