Isn't the idea of having hundreds of doors, each of which could lead to the Gate but all of which lead to horrible death-dealing monsters, already a significant level of deception? If Serini's defences were entirely about physical strength then she'd have only one dungeon full of monsters with the Gate at the end of it, but we already know that's not what she did.
