Platter (Skyrim)

Platter is an item found in Skyrim.

Properties
A platter is a gold plate used for holding food. It can normally found with different types of food on it, scattered around different places in Skyrim.

Usefulness
This item can be used to complete a glitch in which the Dragonborn can go through most of the walls in Skyrim. If the Dragonborn picks up the platter and places it flat against a wall, with the bottom of the platter facing towards him or her, he or she can walk into it and he or she will push through the wall. This can be used in many different ways such as, going through locked doors and getting to the "Do Not Delete" chests under shops. This can also be exploited to pass through doors that "Require a Key". One such exploit is in Gyldenhul Barrow, where the quest Deathbrand takes place. The room with the Cursed Treasure (see the Deathbrand quest link for more info) is locked, and requires a key. Before going through, the Dragonborn needs to have at least three platters in his/her Inventory. This is because the second is for getting out, door will still be locked, and the third will be when the metal gate lowers when the gold is activated.

Location
It can be found in many different places in Skyrim. Amongst the common places are Keeps/Palaces, and Houses. One peticular place is Dragonsreach, which has numerous assorted Plates, Goblets, and Platters. It may also be found in numerous assorted Caves, and Forts.
