Is there any way to get to the trap door that is just outside of the Cyseal Church? I'm not talking the alter that moves, outside there is a trap door and some barrels that is blocked by a huge tree.

I've noticed this in beta, but figured it was future content. Since I'm long done all the questing there, I'm wondering if there is a way to get there or not.

Get more perception and take a look at the left side of church (beyond a gate), if you have good enough perception you'll notice a passage to the outside.

I've got 14 perception now and unable to find a way there. Though I can see a hidden mound in that area by the tree. How much perception do I need to have?

You can either use perception to locate a hatch in the church, or battering ram/feather fall between the trees.

You can probably toss a pyramid in there, too. I didn't try.

Thanks. The pyramids didn't work and battering ram didn't work. Though I was able to teleport someone to a small spot right next to the church. I had to have the mage directly south of that spot to see it. Once I used the trap door, it appeared inside the church...go figure.
