Dragon's Dogma 2 is a role-playing game that doesn’t go easy on its players when it comes to solving complex puzzles. A noteworthy example here is that of locked doors throughout different stages of the game, where players won’t necessarily be able to access a lockpicking mechanic.
And unlike other games of the same domain, Dragon’s Dorma 2 follows a unique pattern. In essence, it’ll make you play a waiting game, rather than providing you with a mystery or an objective to crack in order to unlock an otherwise inaccessible door. Below, you’ll find a guide that’ll help you easily maneuver such situations without having to panic as to whether you’re doing something wrong.

The elves of Sacred Arbor have a big problem, but it's one the Arisen can solve in Dragon's Dogma 2.
How to Open Locked Doors
Behind those locked doors lay many treasures. To unlock these doors, you'll need to be smart and patient. Here is everything you need to know about unlocking locked doors in Dragon’s Dogma 2:
Changing The Time of The Day
This is one of the most effective means of getting past locked doors in the game. If you've stumbled upon a door that won't open, you can memorize the location and come back later at a different time of the day. Doing so might help you in unlocking and progressing further.
Looting, Buying or Completing Quests
There are certain types of keys that can open up locked doors on the map. You can obtain these keys by looting them from enemies or buying them from merchants.
Some doors will require keys that can only be acquired during quests. These keys shouldn't be missed as they are tied to the quests. For example, the Ancient Battleground Key can be obtained by completing the "Tolled to Rest" quest. Other keys, such as the Vernworth Vault Key, require you to find it in another location.
Climbing Through Windows or Roofs
Another way to get past a locked door is by looking for an open window or some sort of gap in the roof. While this approach may not unlock all doors, it can prove effective in certain situations.
To ascend to the roof, players must take advantage of a Vocation that can assist them in doing so, such as Sorcerer, Mage, or Fighter.
Trying Alternative Routes
Not all locked doors require keys or force, some just have another way around. Investigate the area around the locked door, you’ll eventually stumble across a new path that could lead you to what’s behind the door. Climbable walls and hidden passages can get you around such doors.
Explore every corner as you might find hidden keys. If you’re stuck, talk to your pawns. They might offer hints that could help you. It’s important to remember that a lot of areas will be locked until you progress further in the story.
