So it turns out you actually can open the front gates. You don't want to take the side passage because that cretin will take a percentage of your runes each death, regardless of retrieval. This debuff will be in effect until you beat the area boss. The main gates are ridiclous, though, due to the archers spray firing as soon as you go through.
All you have to do to open the gates is tell him that you want to when he asks what you'd like to do.
