The Frustration of Locked Treasures in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined

The allure of hidden rewards is a common motif in the Dragon Quest series, often manifesting as chests or sealed doors that block immediate access to valuable items. This deliberate teasing only amplifies a player's desire to uncover these secrets. For those eager to claim every special item, understanding how to open these locked chests is paramount, a quest that hinges on acquiring the elusive Thief's Key.

Locating the Essential Thief's Key

To access the contents of any locked chest in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, players must first obtain the Thief's Key. This unique item, exclusively designed for opening chests, is cleverly hidden within a chest itself. Its precise location is in Pilgrim's Perdition: Hidden Room (Past), situated within the Alltrades Abbey region. Adventurers should look for it inside the building on the northern side of the map, conveniently close to a water well.

Overcoming Obstacles to Claim Your Prize

Upon discovering the key's location, players will find it behind a counter, alongside a silver map fragment. An NPC will initially prevent access, claiming the items are a deposit for a rented room. To bypass this, players must advance further in the main story. The key becomes obtainable only after successfully liberating Alltrades Abbey (Past) and triumphing over Cardinal Sin. Once these milestones are achieved, returning to Pilgrim's Perdition will reveal an empty counter, allowing players to freely claim both the Thief's Key and the map fragment.

Unrestricted Plundering with the Thief's Key

A significant advantage of the Thief's Key is its non-consumable nature. Unlike many single-use items, this key can be utilized repeatedly, enabling players to unlock an unlimited number of chests they encounter. Simply interacting with a locked chest will automatically employ the key, granting access to its contents. With this powerful tool in hand, adventurers can embark on a joyful journey of treasure hunting, discovering countless hidden riches throughout their gameplay.
