How To Climb The Battlements And Open The Main Gate?

Cast Levioso on the crate and climb up. Take the left doorway and follow the path until you come across a highlighted breakable wall. Use a damage spell, such as Confringo, to destroy the wall, revealing a crawl space that leads to another crate that cannot be moved from this location. Continue on the wooden walkway to the left around the tower until you see a broken window. Use Accio to move the crate through the window and clear the path.
Return through the crawl space into the room, where you'll find a mechanism to open the gate. Use Depulso on the turbine located on the left. Once the gate is fully lifted, use Accio on the pulley above the gate mechanism to keep it open. Don't forget to look up, as the pulley is high up and can be easily overlooked.
After a brief cutscene, Natty will join you. Head up the scaffold in front of you and up another ledge. In front of you, there is a crate in a doorway. Use Depulso to push it forward into a hole in the floor. Then, turn right, go down the stairs and use Accio to move the crate between the broken stairs and the ledge. Go to the end of the stairs and cast Levioso on the crate. Finally, jump across to the ledge above to continue with your quest.
