I searched the forums and came up with nada. Any idea where to find the key for the Trap Door in Fort Dunstad??

What is strange is that it is a mystery. No one seemed to find it, there are reports of it not mentioned in strategy guides, and it is not part of the Civil War questline that takes place there.

I am guessing it is a mystery. I did a quick Google search and it seems so

Did you try using the console? (If you are on PC).

Also, Komodo provided a link to the proper forum for this. An admin or moderator should be able to move it soon

You will find the answer you seek in the spoilers/cheats/hints forum, not in the general discussion

It's there. I couldn't find it either, so I entered through the main door, but it was clear where it was once inside the fort.

Thanks for the replies so far. Sorry for the misplacement of the post.

Ji Soo when you say its there, are you saying the key is there?

it is part of the Civil War questline
that will tell you everthing you need to know.

I have the Battle for Fort Dunstad. I was unable to locate the key both before and after the battle. I too Googled before I posted and I can't find anybody that has actually found the key or a way to open the trap door. No mention in the strategy guide either.

Are you talking about the trap door that leads to papraqet of the tower? That what I thought you were talking about.

Apparently there seems to be a secret door in the fireplace that can't be accessed, and this is probably the door you are talking about and the key for that door doesn't exist.

I didn't come across this door in my first playthrough but I surely will check it out next time I'm there.
