• How do I unlock the door in Camoran's Paradise?

Where is the entrance to the Forbidden Grotto?

1. You can reach the closed Forbidden Grotto in the penultimate main quest, Paradise. As part of this quest, Martin will open a portal to a unique location, Camoran's Paradise. However, the door in question will prevent you from proceeding any further, because they're right in the middle of your path.

1. You must travel through successive areas of Paradise until you reach the entrance to the grotto. When you try to open it, you may receive the message: The door is smooth and featureless. This is a small puzzle that you'll need to solve.

How do I unlock the door in Camoran's Paradise?

1. Open your inventory and go to the armor components tab. The Bands of the Chosen should be there - it's a unique piece of equipment obtained earlier. Put it on to replace the bands you've been wearing so far.

1. Try opening the entrance to the Forbidden Grotto now. The Bands of the Chosen will unlock the age. You may now begin exploring the cave and resume your journey to Mankar Camoran's location.
