You'll have to use runic wards in the right order to open the passage.
You can see the right rune order on the wall from left to right.

The puzzle is easy to solve especially if you have played Skyrim! :)
You have four runic wards near the puzzle - two on the left side and two on the right one!
Look at the wards from left to right and click their puzzle equivalent - in other words you need to click the right one, then the top one, the down one and the last is the left one!
Hope I helped you!

Description

Whatever is going on with this effigy, I don't think it's going to open the gateway without our help. These runes must be the key. There must be some way we can use them to activate the effigy.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Into DarknessLevel 50

    I didn't think you would find a way. Though at this point, I guess I shouldn't be surprised when you accomplish what seems impossible. I guess all that is left is to brave the Crimson Forest and see if this thing works.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Thros, the Blighted LandsLevel 50

    The Blighted Lands... If the legends are true then inside we will witness suffering and torment the likes of which we have never known. .. ...but if that is what I must endure to right what I have wronged, then I will cross that threshold gladly. Will you join me, <class>?
