How do you trigger doors in the Descent 1 level "Titanium Falcon Military Depot"?
Of the Levels of the World levels for the original Descent 1, one of the most obtuse is "Titanium Falcon Military Depot" (a.k.a. "T.F. Military Depot"). It starts out in a single room with some enemies. The only door which doesn't need a key (aside from the doors to the player spawn locations and the exit door) is opened by flying over a spot next to the convex corner that's closest to the door in the room.
Behind that door is … another door. It doesn't open when touched/shot. Presumably, it is opened by flying over another trigger spot in the room, but I can't for the life of me find that spot. Does anyone remember where it is?
Frustratingly, I'm pretty sure I figured it out when I first played this level in the 90s. But that memory is gone.
The only mention I can find of this level at all is a ReadMe-ish document, found here, which contains:
Name of Mission: TiTANiUM FALCON MiLiTARY DEPOT
Description of mission: This level is a little tricky.....you must hit switches in order to open the
doors to get the keys....but once you use your imagination the path will come to you. Use the
clues i have provided.......they will help you out. What are behind the doors are either helpful
or harmful (most cases both), so be careful!.....find the keys in succession and then advance
your ship to the TiTANiUM FALCON to blow the reactor. *Intro as follows (optional):*
iNTRODUCTiON: THIS LEVEL IS A MILITARY DEPOT ON SATURN
COMPLETE WITH A HANGAR WHICH CONTAINS THE TiTANiUM FALCON, PTMC'S
NEWEST TOP SECRET ATTACK CRAFT, WHICH THE MECHS HAD BEEN STATIONED
THERE TO GUARD, BUT ONCE THEY WERE INFECTED WITH THE MYSTERIOUS
VIRUS, YOU MUST BE SENT IN BEFORE THE TITANIUM FALCON'S
SUPERCOMPUTER BECOMES INFECTED....EVERY SECOND THE ViRUS SLOWLY
EATS AWAY AT THE CIRCUITS.....UNTIL FINALLY IT WILL BECOME INFECTED AND
LAUNCH ITSELF.....PTMC'S HEADQUARTERS IS THE DESTINATION THAT IT WAS
TRACKING, AND IF IT OPENS FIRE ON THE HQ, IT WILL CAUSE MASSIVE
DESTRUCTION TO THE SPACE STATION.
YOU MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN........DESTROY THE FALCON'S REACTOR AND
VAPORIZE THE WHOLE DEPOT IMMEDIATLEY, BEFORE IT BECOMES INFECTED.
I like to think I'm pretty observant, but I haven't found any "clues" in the main room at all. The trigger zone which opens the first door, I found by accident; now, even knowing where it is, I still can find no clues that would have indicated its location.

How do you unlock The Descent?
Other than that, the only other requirement is that you have 16 Power for the Inquisition. Once you do, go to the War Room and you will find a quest on the Ferelden side of the map called Disaster in the Deep Roads. Begin it, and you will be able to start The Descent DLC.Can you open all gates of Segrummar?
Note that while all of the gates are in the Ruins of Heidrun Thaig, there aren't enough gears in the ruins to open all of them and thus some backtracking will be required after finding the gears in the Forgotten Caverns and the Bastion of the Pure. The Gates of Segrummar.What level should I start descent?
For Descent the game recommends level 17 but I'd go a bit higher most of the gear you pick up is can't be used until you're at least level 19 or 20. I'd say the same for Jaws of Hakkon the gear you pick up there starts at level 20. Both the DLC are designed to be end game content so they're levelled very high.How do you start the Deep Roads expedition?
