Part of the game is shared storytelling! Play the puzzle the dm wants you to!
Hey, we just go through fighting an aspect of the Spider Queen (The local Lolth expy), in which I had my max HP cut in half and was the only one downed because of it. Was kinda fizzled at that point

The worst one would be a petrified tree. They’re a massive cylinder that looks like the roof of the cave, and then it falls loose and smashes you.
The cylinder cannot be harmed in any way

Or, you know, don’t Gygax your game group, DMs. 🤌

It could be a extremely big stalactite with tunnels and rooms inside… Or the characters were shrunken to fit into a normal stalactite with tunnels and rooms inside

i mean, if i was the referee, and they weren’t in that architecturally precarious situation, i’d think that’s a mighty fine solution to the puzzle, actually.
No, no, TTRPGs are all about solving the DM’s convoluted logic and linguistics puzzles that don’t make sense inside the world and have exactly one solution. Not about creative problem solving /s

Aren’t stalactites made of soft material?
Just pickaxe your way beside the door. Heck, an axe may work if you don’t mind destroying it in the process.
If you have spell for creating water somehow, use Roman technique of making a campfire against wall, letting it warm up and the splashi g it with water to crack it.
There’s so many ways to be a menace to DM xD

Or just knock. Not the spell, literally knock on the door.

No lock, no handle, how does it open?

Look, I get it, it’s embarrassing to try and pull a push door. It doesn’t mean it’s witchcraft. Just try pushing!
