The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller/Three Stones Puzzle

[Puck]

I cannot pass through the portcullises. I can postion myself with the
first and third to my left and the second to my right so that the
first two remain open, but when I run/shout, the first gate stilll
closes in my face. I have dropped items for weight, ordered my
follower to stay put, all for not. I have never quite understood the
Whirlwind Sprint Shout. I just press the W and Z key and hope for the
best. Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks.

I start before the first gate is open. I make sure that Whirlwind
Sprint is my selected shout. I then Sprint toward the gates and press
the Z key to shout. With a little bit of luck and good aiming I pass
through all the gates before they can shut.

It takes time for the gates to open fully before they start to close
giving you more time to get there.

Aim is really important. If you are off by a fraction you run into the
wall and can't correct in time.

I leave the shout until I pass the trigger for the third gate.

Once through the gates stay open.

David, thanks for the answer. I didn't know I needed to select a
shout; I'll work on that and then try your strategy this weekend.
Thanks again.

I think David is correct. It was quite a while ago since I did that
part. Maybe you can find my original post and the help I got.

Thanks David and PW I found shouts in magic and made it through the
portcullises. Thanks again. Den

Yes the Whirlwind Sprint is essential.
Those 3 pillars aren't really a puzzle.
If you stand Hero pointing forward in a straight ahead line just before the
first
Pillar towards the Gate & just charge straight forward.
As you pass near by by each Pillar it goes Red
