Spinning blade trap Raldbthar

[WingMan]

I spent some time researching how to get Serana, my companion, past this trap. I read threads to leave her behind or just run past and let her get diced up as she crawls up the ramp. I explored the console command tc - to take control of her and get her past. I couldn't really get that to work, but others may find it acceptable. Initially I wasn't able to have the option for her to follow my commands, but once she listened, I brought her up the ramp without injury with the "wait here" instruction.
I more than likely should have tried the solution to begin, but I wasn't given the option "I need you to do something" from Serana. That is curious to me. Otherwise, I'm posting a reply to those threads I read on the topic without having to sign up for anything.
Talos guide you.

I solved this problem by always going through Raldbthar alone.

Well followers do get stuck there (and other places like it) but they will teleport to you later on, either if you get too far or when you enter another cell. So it is nothing to worry about tbh. Just keep going.

She's Essential, at least until the end of the Dawnguard quest (forever?) but others are not Essential, typically, and will get killed by these traps which you cannot disable (and are triggered merely by walking through an invisible trigger box).

One solution is to find a mod where all such traps can be disabled by a lever on the other side, or make one yourself.

I do appreciate the replies, correcting my spelling of Raldbthar, and other solutions to getting companions past traps. My companion doesn't always teleport to me. That is an issue on my own rig, and going forward would probably work for most folk. I find the idea of a mod to disable traps once past interesting. It would solve painful experiences and deaths of companions who step in the wrong place or blindly follow, usually just at the sweet spot for the traps.

Do they really? None of my followers have died to them, ever, the reason seem to be that followers are protected when they are following you wich means only you can kill them.

At the time that I'm writing this comment, I'm at Raldbthar and I just wrote tgm to console and used whirlwind sprint towards the blades and as soon as I stopped at the top of the stairs, I pressed T and waited for an hour to make my follower tp to me (she was following me, not waiting). Then disabled tgm of course.

For you .... for followers not so much....

Best tactic for yourself without shouts or console .... stay left hug the wall and advance as soon as the blades are not in your path. If you hug the wall the blades can't touch you only point that is a bit tricky is the middle (rubble and pillar).

yeah, simply not being where the spinning blade is the easiest method for the player.

I lose followers each and every time on the double blades. I think console is the only way to beat this "bug"
