Not really what we are looking for here, it’s possibly the worst option overall as well.
This option isn’t so bad as we can do the maze in “reverse”. (meh) – This one lets you “skip” the maze and go all the way to the entrance of the Tower of Braccus Rex. > Show the gargoyle the ring of the Source King. > Admit you aren’t, but ask if you may enter here anyway. Of course you are. (OK!) – Doesn’t matter if you have the ring on or not, this response isn’t good enough for the Gargoyle… Perhaps it was programmed to only to allow the ring bearer in? Either way, a natural entrance is what we’re after. The implications aren’t important but I may as well warn you.
The event triggers when you walk near it so be careful. Speaking to the main gate Gargoyle Head is a one-time thing.
