Tol Dagor Locked Gates

So I was running Tol Dagor on a +9 yesterday. When you go into the tunnel after the first boss you’d normally turn left after the trash pack, but our tank goes ahead and unlocks a gate of some sort and saves a ton of time by skipping trash and using a shortcut, so less time spent on trash and movement. He does this with a few other gates aswell and saves us quite a bit of time. We also unlocked the prisons before the Jes Howlis to make his fight quicker and easier.

Now, normally these gates are locked, and we had a rogue, and I’m questioning if there’s some sort of item that lets you unlock the gates or if rogue lockpicking does it. Anyone know?

There are also blacksmithing keys and inscription scrolls if unlocking. And mechagnome fingers.

  1. Are the keys one time use and do they require blacksmithing/inscription?
  2. Can rogues do it without either of those?

Yes, the item is consumed, and unfortunately they require their corresponding skills.

Rogues and mechagnome, though, require no tools, so there’s nothing to consume.

Thanks, quick response and straight to the point.
