What’s that skull lever do? [spoilers]
I just want to know if I have missed something or not.

The skull lever in the crypt you encounter at basically the beginning of the game. I killed all the people inside, woke withers, and pushed/pulled that lever that looks like a skull. I heard a faint boom and my character said “wonder what that did…” then I went looking around the beginning area and saw nothing. Checked around the crypt and saw nothing as well.

The Tieflings that has Laez in the cage mentioned they heard a blast and were investigating. (I’m assuming it was the same explosion I heard when pulling the lever).

After dealing with the Druid grove problem I have gone after the Hag. That’s where I am now. I haven’t done the goblin camp stuff yet or dealt with Wyll’s quest either.

So far I have seen nothing about what that lever did. Is it something I passed over and didn’t notice, or have I not gone far enough to find what happened? (Did I rush past it or am I yet to see it).?

I think it unlocks a door in the hallway, you may have already picked that lock.

That’s possible. My lock picker is talented. I could of swore there was a boom that accompanied it.

I was wondering for awhile since it felt like the lever did nothing.

Second question:
What does the button on the pillar in the trap room open?

It resets the traps, iirc

If you put the lever behind you, then it opens the door further on the left. Basically it lead to the direction of the final room with the dead bodies.

A short walktrough: In the middle of the room of the dead bodies their is a small hidden room in the middle. On the left side their is a button that opens a secret door and awake the dead bodies. After defeating the zombies you can get in the secret room and find in the small box the first rare item that gives the ability to speak with the dead. If you open the tomb a dead body comes out and speaks with you, if you stay noble with responding, it goes to you're camp. This guy is the most important NPC, he can bring dead companions back to live and gives the option to change you're class or re-spec characters.

I hit the lever (ctrl+Left butt), and now I cant use it, so the door is close. This is bug? What can I do?

No. To access Withers.

I only just did this area - tidying up before I go to the shadow lands - but Withers has been at my camp from the start, so I was a bit puzzled when the plaque on the sarcophagus went on about finding the guy who'd been giving you advice... oh well, I'm grateful to have him, as I already needed him when I couldn't retrieve a body and there was no soul flame thing to use a revive on....
