It's the previous chapter "To catch a spider" you need to replay, the door part comes at the very end of it. If interested, there is an achievement for choosing either of the options at the beginning. (Avoiding spoilers) If you've played the story, you'll know those two choices at the beginning of "To catch a spider" chapter, you can choose the alternate option and get the achievement for that one.

There is a door but it doesn't register as an object to interact unless you're on the correct story step, you actually enter as part of the dialog even then, I think. If you miss that then you're stuck, you have to replay that whole story chapter to reach that dialog again. In fact there is another similar door south of the cavern near the Teleri Village, both these doors are accessible only during the story.

After reaching the Secret Cavern while playing the EOD story, I got disconnected while loading the story instance for "Empty", now I'm stuck outside with no way to enter the secret cavern POI. I tried finding alternate routes, events that might lead into the cavern but no luck so far. I'm gonna try replaying the previous chapter, hope that works. Unless I'm missing something here, this POI seems to be locked behind the story chapter so, for map completion on alt characters would have to play until this chapter to get the POI, which is gonna be a pain for just one POI. Did anyone find ways to get to this POI by any means other than the story?
