How do I open the barred door a ways west of the entrance?
  • 1 of 2: Just move up against the bar and hack at it with the attack key until it splinters.
  • 2 of 2: Note that if you exit and reenter the ruins, the bar will be gone but the door won't open. You'll have to use the central water crevice to go around another way.
