Unlocking doors, finding treasures, and pushing the plot forward in Dragon Quest 3 Remake all depend on keys.
The Ultimate Key allows entry to previously off-limits areas, but getting it will not be easy.
This article explains how to get the Ultimate Key in the Dragon Quest 3 Remake.
How to Get the Ultimate Key
The first destination is Lanson, which is found on an island in the southern part of the ocean.

This ability is essential for sneaking past the guards in Edina, a kingdom that bars entry to outsiders.
Visit Lanson’s item shop and purchase the Fading Jenny for 300 gold. Now that you have the item, you can now approach Edina.
Edina is a remote kingdom located in the northwest corner of the map.
The guards at the gates stand firm and will block any attempt to enter, no matter how noble your cause.
Use the Fading Jenny to make your party invisible and get past them. This lets you slip past the guards without them noticing and enter the castle grounds.
Once you're in, the residents will leave you be, allowing you to explore.
Keep in mind that every visit to Edina will require a new Fading Jenny, so plan your journey wisely.
Inside Edina Castle, head to the basement located on the left side of the first floor.
This place has a puzzle with three boulders. To solve it, push the boulders into the designated spaces at the far end of the room.
Be careful when shifting the boulders so they don’t end up in corners, which could block your progress.
Luckily, a reset option is available if you slip up. Solve the puzzle to uncover a hidden route to the Bottomless Pot, an essential item for the next step in your quest.
Now that you have the Bottomless Pot make your way to the shoals in the ocean's northern central region.
These shoals are recognizable as shallow water formations visible on the world map.
Use the Zoom spell to return to Lanson and sail southeast. This will eventually loop you back toward the northern region.
When you reach the shoals, use the Bottomless Pot to retrieve the Shallows Shrine from the ocean floor.
Look inside for a treasure chest containing the Ultimate Key.
While you're in the shrine, take time to search for extra items, including a mini-medal near a skeleton.
True to its name, the Ultimate Key is the key to unlocking every door, even those that the Thief’s Key or Magic Key can’t open.
