The '''Ultimate Key''' (sometimes called '''Final Key''') is a recurring item that is needed to unlock the barred jail doors. It is usually necessary to advance the later stages of the story.


==Types of Doors==
The '''Ultimate Key''' is a recurring magical item that can change its appearance to fit any possible lock, as opposed to the [[Magic Key]] which can only undo magical seals on doors and the [[Thief's Key]] being designed to break simple locks. It is necessary to advance the later stages of a game's story, usually by opening a jail door.
The final key opens all the types of doors in ''Dragon Quest III''. This includes thief doors (yellow, plain), magic doors (silver, ornate), and final doors (grey, prison-like). As the final key opens all 3 types of doors, it renders the other key types obsolete.
