Yes, you need the Idol in to open the door at the 6th bough. The Idol can be obtained in a southern tower of Marten's bluff, not in Lower Marten's Bluff. To open the southern door I *think* you have to play around with the buttons found in the rooms left and right of the trap where the Rapax doll's dangling. I say "I think" because all possible combinations wouldn't open the door for me, but after I had explored all of Lower Marten's Bluff - without noticing any trigger - and returned to the surface some playing days later, I discovered the door had opened. Either I have overlooked something, or this is a bug.As for doors only to be opened by T'Rangs, the one in Z'Ant's "meeting hall" can be opened by the T'Rang arm you should have found inside Marten's Bluff. Did you get inside Marten's Bluff already? For some other doors, you need a special Umpani device. If you still don't know what to do, just say so

got as confused as you as to what you were asking. sorry
so, i didn't want to look really idiotic and corrected them.
to get the helm, you need the key from Shaman Das. that will open the special door in the rattkin tree to get the helm of sanity.
and the trang arm that opens the doors, is on the dead trang inside the fort in Upper Marten's Bluff..... when you lower the catapult arm and use it as a bridge to walk to the top level of the fort, and head back down the body is to the left. right near the door, which can only be opened from the inside.
i don't know if you are going to be able to get the DD without the helm, tho, because of the "special properties" of the DD.
anyway, there's a lotta going back and forth in this game. it's a good idea to try to keep all the areas open to you, if possible, for that reason alone.
