When leading Arisen, sometimes you'll stumble upon an obstacle that seems impossible to overcome. In this case, the problem is how to get past the barred doors in Seafloor Shrine in Dragon's Dogma 2.
How to open Seafloor Shrine doors in Dragon's Dogma 2
The only way to open the barred doors in Seafloor Shrine is to use a guided Blazefang arrow, but to do that, you need to change your vocation to Magick Archer or Warfarer. Still, being able to use Blazefang arrows will open many barred doors that lead to very lucrative rewards.
Where to find barred doors on Seafloor Shrine in Dragon's Dogma 2
The Seafloor Shrine is located in Harve Village, and you can find it if you walk into the cave next to the old man's shack. However, the Seafloor Shrine is progress-locked, which means you can't access it at the very beginning of the game. As soon as you enter the Seafloor Shrine, you'll see locked doors on your left.
This door is particularly hard to open since no conventional methods don't work; I tried manipulating the bars from various angles, trying to force myself in, and I even lured enemies from the other side, hoping for them to do the job for me. Nothing of that worked, so I tried to find some less conventional methods.

It seems troublesome, but it's worth the grind since you'll be able to unlock barred doors.
Dragon's Dogma 2 Seafloor Shrine barred doors Rewards
The barred doors on the left of the Seafloor Shrine entrance are just one of several you can unlock by using the Blazefang arrow. After getting through all the locked doors, you'll find a hidden area within the temple. That hidden area contains a lot of valuable loot, including Grand Curiass, 30,000G, and rare materials like Wailing Crystal and Dullahan Bone. It's more than worth the effort if you ask me.
