The door is one of the hag's previous victims, transformed, and it begs the player not to pass. The player can speak with it and succeed at persuading or intimidating it to allow them them through. This door will reveal that it is an illusion. Alternatively, wearing one of the nearby [[Whispering Mask]]s will reveal the true nature of the door. However, these masks come with consequences. | ||

It is possible to right click worthless items in the inventory, like bones or mugs, then throw them on the vents to disable them and pass through. They can also be disabled with a {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|30}} check. | ||

A [[Whispering Mask]] is required to gain access to the room beyond | Another method for bypassing the traps is to place the whispering masks from the prior room over the vents, which will actually block the flow of gas. If nobody suceeds on the perception check to spot a particular vent, spamming ''dancing lights'' can be a good way to locate it, as this strangely will ''also'' block the vent. | ||
=== Mushroom Circle === | |||
There is a second '''Gnarled Door''' that can be reached from the trapped descent. A [[Whispering Mask]] is required to gain access to the room beyond. Inside is a [[Mushroom Circle]] that will teleport the party to a similar circle in the [[Underdark]], {{Coords|98|-283}}. | |||
The second Gnarled Door is accessed by taking the ladder down just slightly south of the waterfall you jumped through, following it around to the north and then jumping up to the door. | |||
