There are some weird clues in this zone right now (hope my english is good enough):
- there's a cage in the room with the pit that can be targeted with spells and attacks, it's the first one by the entrance and you just need to press the skill first to attack it. No ability does damage to it, but there's something strange: if you cast ray of frost the cage suddenly turns red for a round. The same thing happens with the lanterns in the room and also with the one at the end of the corridor, the one behind the strange gate (you may need to press O to see it).
There's no apparent order to attack'em, but that's important to say that other lanterns in the corridor are unaffected by Ray of Frost or other skills.
- This clue is given by the diary found in the chest, the confession of Dawson Kiltmaker
https://i.imgur.com/1Is8R1X.png in which the victim said that when he was little he was "coldly cruel to small animals etc.". This is the first of three confessions, and the word coldly looks kinda specific.
- I couldn't find other clues in the secret room, but if you go in the catacombs, on the southern side behind a gate there's a weird pillar - divided in three different parts - that can also be targeted and turns red when hit by ray of frost.
That can be cut content but I still thinks that something is missing, anyway I'll leave here the link of a reddit thread that is more specific and that has for sure better english than mine.
