key barriers

[F.O.A.M]

anyone understands these ones? i dont get it.
i have the element of the barrier on the key, i have a 1 beside the elements yet i cant open something to get to a quest.
the game gives me 0 info on these damn barriers

I believe the keys need to have an "Adventure Effect" on them to be able to be used on barriers, as well as being the same element as the barrier
You can read a bit more about them on the manual [www.koeitecmoamerica.com]

What gives Adventure Effect on keys? Only thing these monsters are giving me are keys for me to beat them up with.

(While landmarks give me the loot/synthesize ones)

certain enemy types i believe. i'm pretty sure before you try to make a key from an enemy it will give you a % of what the outcome will be. the key system seems pretty clunky and poorly explained in the game so far, maybe it will make more sense the deeper I get into the game.

cant remember if enemies give certain effects but different enemies gives certain elements. go into the encyclopedia and look at the enemies

With the initial Hollow Key you get from the story, it makes useless keys with 0 element values, which is probably what's preventing you from opening the barriers. Same as when doing Synthesis, if it gives 0 Fire element, doesn't really do you much good.
Without spoiling the story too much, after you resolve the issue between the two guilds, you learn how to make an upgraded version of the key that makes actually useful keys.

This thread was near the top in my searching for an answer, but didn't actually answer the question. Here is a steam guide I made with a thorough answer.
