In order to unlock the entrances to the secret bosses, you have to find Daedric Flames first which you need for lightning braziers by a Mysterious Corridor. If you have lit the braziers, the door will unlock.
When you went down the trapdoor, you will reach an area where you will have to activate these shards at the same time and a portal opens which will lead you to the minibosses.
