Underkeep Tools: Rubble, Graves, Veins and Locked Chests

When an obstacle will not open, read the interaction message and check for the appropriate tool. Repeated attacks are not proof that the obstacle is breakable with your current equipment.

Match the obstacle

This table summarizes an attributed current player source. It does not establish where every tool is found, a guaranteed shop stock or the exact result of every interaction.

When an interaction fails

1. Read the obstacle’s text instead of assuming it is decorative.
2. Check the shared inventory for the named tool.
3. Compare ordinary and reinforced tool requirements where the message distinguishes them.
4. Check any required resource, especially food for digging.
5. Leave a precise map note and continue elsewhere if the requirement is not met.

Marking the obstacle is often more useful than trying every unrelated inventory item. Keep quest items separate from guesses about tool use.

Budget for exploration

The player guide reports that grave digging consumes food. That supply also supports resting, so optional exploration can affect the next recovery opportunity. Check the remaining shared food before committing to another dig.

What is deliberately omitted

No tool coordinates, guaranteed grave rewards, lockpick success percentages or infinite resource methods are claimed here. If a tool works differently in your version, record the exact item and obstacle message for a correction or bug report.
