Hi, this may sound dumb, but after I get the one ring and try to go back..

You have to talk to the guy at the gate again. He will tell you to go back into the mill and look for the hinge. Well, anyway, if he doesn't tell you that exactly, that is what you need to do. It is back inside the mill. You have to sneak past the Black Rider again, but it is fairly easy to do. The hinge is in the house, pretty easy to find. Then you go back to the gate and click through your items until you find the hinge and click the X button, I think. Anyway, I'm sure you can figure it out.

You know when you pass the black rider to get to the gate and theres a house on your left go in to it and walk forward on your left there should be an item pick it up it should say you got the hinge the go out and go through till you see the hinge that looks like a roof top click the black button and the hinge should disapper and the gate should start moving the click the action button and walk through
