just was thinking,

So we all know, during "The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller" in Ustengrav, we have that "puzzle" where we have to run past the stones and then use Whirlwind Sprint to get past the series of gates


my question is, if I was playing as a Vampire Lord, could you bypass this "puzzle" by using the "Bats" ability instead of whirlwind sprint? and would doing so before starting the MQ break it?

I never tried that. It could work I think.

Thats very interesting. Im intrigued too, never tried it but would like to know. I dont see why it wouldnt work.

Isn't Ustengrav in "Requires Key" mode before that quest is given?

The warlocks haven't excavated to the lower levels of Ustengrav prior to the quest, so you can't explore deep enough to try this.
