In a mud I play, I had to kill a monster. I was given a location and I went there. I was looking around for a little but still couldn't find it. Then, I went back to where I was told to start looking. The train station. I walked around and one of the places was a ticket booth. I had an idea. I tried buying a ticket and sure enough, I was given one. I went back to where the conductor was standing and told him "board". Sure enough, I was in the train. I started giving my ticket to conductors and they kept giving it back until I found the right conductor. Sure enough, I found myself in the dark tunnel where I was to find the monster. It wasn't obvious but I just had to work it out. It should be the same thing in an audio game. Maybe make the door beep or something but have it to where you can not past until you are done fighting.
