how do get through gauntlets

Run, Run, Run, Duck, Jump and keep on running. Thats how I got through, toughen or some protective spells like armourplate may also help out.

Timing helps too, especially with the blades. Those are the only things that almost did my group in. Watch for the gaps, and run for it.

I found zigzagging helped!

Same as Wyvern... also, if you character is fairly healthy, you can block the blades (wooden blades) until you have a big enough gap to pass on the other side.

The wooden blades were not much of a problem for me. Most of the time I could jump on top of them and jump down the other side. Other times I found that the closer I was to the wall the easier it was to climb the blade.

Once I found that there were several pockets of air in the underwater areas and that you did not have to drown waiting for a gate to open, the underwater part became much easier. If the gate closed in front of me most of the time I could swim up and grab some air before swimming down just in time for the gate to open.

The one time I got truly "stuck" (pardon the pun) was at those paddles with spikes that move back and forth. I missed the timing and one of those paddles pinned me down would not move back. The other one swung back and hit me and wouldn't move and I was in between two of them and couldn't push them out of the way. It killed three of my characters (all with over 300 hp) before I finally quit and went back to an earlier save.
