Hidden within specific dungeons lie locked vault doors that grant access to challenging secret raids filled with high-level enemies and legendary gear. Here’s how to unlock them:
Step 1: Complete the Main Story
- Finish all 14 chapters and watch the credits.
- Create a manual save once the credits end.
Step 2: Prepare for Post-Game
- Reload your saved game, visit any lodging (camp or motel), and use Umbra to fast-travel freely across the map.
Step 3: Clear Four Key Dungeons
Ensure these dungeons are fully completed:
- Balouve Mines
- Crestholm Channels
- Daurell Caverns
- Costlemark Tower
Step 4: Obtain the Dungeon Vault Key
- Travel to Meldacio Hunter HQ, located in northern Cleigne.
- Speak to the elderly woman seated near the entrance (she’ll appear as a quest marker if prerequisites are met).
- She will grant the Dungeon Vault Key and assign “Menace Beneath [Dungeon]” quests.
Activating the Raids
- Track any Menace quest to reveal a vault’s location on your map.
- Each vault door leads to a multi-level dungeon with escalating difficulty, capped by bosses and elite loot.
