Right before you get Baelgun Flamebeard, there's a Gate with 2 pressure sensors on ea side of it.
Standing in front of the gate are 2 Stoneskin Gatekeepers. If you use Control Undead on one of them, they have an ability that will turn something into stone. (As of this post, I can't find it).
After you have the closest one controlled, he will turn the other to stone.
Once he's Stoned, you can use Death Grip and pull him to one of the 2 pressure sensors. Walk over, stand on the other and the gates will open.

You *Might* be able to run from one to the other, but I have not tested it.

Good Hunting!
