The party can gain access to the secret passage by first hitting both dragon head torches with any source of{{DamageType|Lightning}} damage such as [[Shocking Grasp]] or [[Lightning Arrow|Lightning Arrows]] and then use them. Alternatively, the Mousehole to Wyrm Rock's Cells, located on the western shore of [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]], can be used. The secret passage can also be opened by sending your [[Mage Hand|mage hand]] through the mousehole and placing it behind the wall between the two dragon torches on the Wyrmway side. Then simply using the dragon torches with a character on the Wyrm Rock Prison side will open the wall passage. It works if the dragon head torches shine blue. Moving away the mage hand will close the passage. | ||
