The Ultimate Key (Originally Final Key) is a recurring magical item that can change its appearance to fit any possible lock. It is necessary to advance the later stages of a game's story, usually by opening a jail door.
Types of Doors[edit]
The Ultimate 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.

The Ultimate Key is found at the Shallows Shrine, which requires a mini-quest to be completed in order to enter the shrine.

After successfully completing the puzzle, the Hero is rewarded with the Bottomless Pot.
