Hi Guys

I'm a complete newcomer to the Elder Scrolls series. I was a big fan of the Baldurs Gate et al games way back when. I thought I was doing ok until I hit the Tomb Raider section of The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller. I spent more than I'm prepared to admit to for the Prima Guide but still cant figure out how to get the past the 3 portcillises. The recommendation is to use the whirlwind shout twice but whatever I try the recharge time stops me from getting through. I've tried various distances from the gates but have to admit I'm foxed.

Is this a result of the increase in PC speeds since the game was issued of simply a refection of deterionating reflexes brought on by advancing years and alcohol abuse.

Any help would be really appreciated as this re-interest in D&D has been sparked by the iminant release of Elder Scrolls Online. I did toy with WOW a few months ago but found it ultimately lacking in depth. My initial experience with Skyrim indicates that his is a much deeper experience, so I do really need to be able to proceed.

Stand next to the first one.

Get naked.

Shout.

Then sprint as fast as you can.

First, welcome to the forums. Do not go into sneak mode. Made sure all your weapons are put away. When you get ready, stand near the very first stone, but not close enough to activate it, and line yourself up with the gates. You need to push the sprint button when you start running, and as you are sprinting, as soon as you seen the 2nd gate open, use the whirlwind shout.

Also, here is a link to the UESP that everyone uses that will also help you out.

I do a sort of running start and then when I am passed the first or second stone I shout. usually make it through on the first try.

I just sprint through all 3 stones, then hit the shout to get through the gates.

I used an amulet of Talos it worked cut down recharge time on sprints to next to nothing
