Pressure Plates

Pressure Plates are environmentla objects in Dragon's Dogma - they need to have weight applied to them to open doors and unlock gates.

Overview
Pressure plates are only found in The Ancient Quarry and The Tainted Mountain Temple.

Each of the two Quarry plates unlocks and opens a separate fortified gated. The four plates in the Tainted Monutain Temple must be each stood on to unlock and open a double door leading to the Dragon itself.

A pressure plate takes time to activate, falling as the hidden mechanism operates - the time for a plate to activate depends on the total mass on the plate - so higher Character Weight and absolute encumbrance matter.
