How to open locked doors in Blackwater?

[Flip]

Some open via a key, others via the blowtorch, but there are many that are just locked. I read they can be accessed but does anybody know how?

Some opens from the other side or with the key from last boss. But still I had few of them unopened.

There are 3 types of locks in this area:

- The fire lockpick + fuel (every door uses up fuel)
- The key you get from dealing with the Chief
- A special helmet that you can construct if you find the right items and manage to deal with the PC checks after you found them.

All doors can be opened regardless of order if you have those 3. That said, some of them can get bypassed with dimension door but that's.. risky.

Thanks for the answers! I didn't make the helmet so that's probably why.

The helm is only needed for the last room, which door is secured by the purple energy field.
I believe the strange helmet (helmet of the abyss killer) without stats was in there, which might be a hail from a SF shooter. The stormlord's bracers are in the locked storeroom and are probably the only piece of lasting interest in there.

I think, but don't quote me on it, there's also a fuel for the fire lockpick in there which may or may not provide useful loot.

Quite possibe, but I only took a few notes where to find the loot :)

Where do I find the Chief? I've gone everywhere I can including opening 2 doors with the lockpick and the main puzzle door, and I have not found the Chief or a key to unlock the numerous locked doors. There are 2 purple shielded doors which I cannot go through, but I assume I have to get that key first.
