Final Key: Difference between revisions

The '''final key''' is a specialty item in [[Dragon Quest III]]. It allows the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)| Hero]]'s party to open all 3 types of doors which exist in the game (thief, magic, and final). It is the last key to be acquired in Dragon Quest III.

=== Types of Doors ====

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.

Acquiring the final key is one of the first major tasks the player must accomplish after receiving the ship in [[Portoga]]. It requires visiting atleast 3 separate locations.

The village of [[Lancel]] has an item shop which sells [[Invisibility Herbs]]. These herbs turn the Hero's party invisible for a short amount of time. Atleast one herb is needed to proceed.

The castle of [[Edinbear]] is guarded so that outsiders may not enter by normal means. By using and invisibility herb, the hero's party can sneak by the sentries guarding the entrance. Inside, there is a boulder puzzle located on the second floor which must be solved. The player must push three boulders around water hazards into a straight line on the north wall. After successfully completing the puzzle, the hero is rewarded with the [[Vase of Drought]].

In the north central sea (just north of where the 2 continent "arms" cross each other), there is a small grouping of shoals in a 'T' pattern. By guiding the ship adjacent to the south center shoal, the hero can use the Vase of Drought to raise the [[Final Key Shrine]]. Inside the shrine, the final key is located inside a chest.
