A disposable garage door opener is a one-use tool that raises portcullises throughout the current map. Its unidentified appearance is a small grey box with red button; the game's identified name is spelled disposeable garage door opener. It is the standard escape device carried by opponents in the Coliseum.[1]
Generation
The opener is an item-level-2 random miscellaneous item and possible pawn-shop stock. Acquirement can also produce it. Each loaded arena opponent receives one, separately from its other possessions; collect it after the fight or obtain it through theft.[2]
Description
Choose Activate, then item, and select the box. Every currently lowered portcullis on that map becomes floor, without a distance or line-of-sight requirement. Ordinary locked doors are unaffected. One box is consumed even if no portcullis was raised. Its explosion message does not inflict damage. Blessing and enchantment do not improve the effect.[3]
Strategy
After an arena victory, pick up the box and activate it before walking to the exit. Elsewhere, save a spare for portcullis barriers such as the Archmage's Castle court. A magic key solves a different obstacle: a locked door. The box raises gates but does not disable mechanisms that can lower them again.[4]
