Baldur's Gate 3 Logo

Welcome to NGB and our guide on how to open the Vault Door in the building on The Risen Road in Baulder’s Gate III.

Where to Find the Vault Door

While exploring the area of Act I in Baldur’s Gate III, you’ll eventually come to The Risen Road, northwest of the Druids’ Grove. If you enter the building across from the Ancient Sigil Circle, you’ll find an Ornate Wooden Hatch on the floor immediately to the right.

Interacting with the hatch will take you down to the cellar where you’ll spot a giant Vault Door. Unfortunately, that bad boy is locked up tight. Luckily for you, you’re about to learn how to open this door.

How to Open the Vault Door

Outside, when facing the building, follow the walkway to the right. You should spot a ladder there leading down the side path off the mountain. Climb down and locate the body of the Dead Toll Collector.

Next, you want to cast Speak with Dead on it and exhaust all dialog options to find out that he dropped the vault key down the mountain. You can acquire this skill by wearing The Amulet of Lost Voices, which can be found in the Dank Crypt during the Explore the Ruins quest. If you have not retrieved this item, be sure to check out our Explore the Ruins Quest Guide for its location!

Otherwise, you can just head down the slope swinging a right to reach the location in the image below.
