So i defeated all of chapter 2 bosses but there is this one door that I can't figure out how to open, does anyone know how to open it?

^That. In essence it is just one of three routes to the boss room basically so it isn't that important. However, you totally want to kill the bosses for loot/exp anyways, and killing Tiger Vanguard and Stone Vanguard are super important for a hidden mechanic in the game (which I'm not sure but heard it might be missable until NG+ if you don't get in chapter 2, but it might still be there after??) where you can unlock the ability to craft medicine. Defeating these two bosses and returning to the blood pool that had Tiger Vanguard is a statue at the pool. Interact with the top of it to unlock a hidden cellar (the third route to the boss room, but you can't go backwards up the slow fyi so you have to go via this direction to reach it).

From the shrine just past the cellar (called the Cellar Shrine iirc) is an NPC near the furnace in that room, Xu from earlier in the chapter that had you kill the giant frog. He will now craft pills for you including those you trade your mind cores for permanent stat increase like +90 Mana, etc. so he is very important to unlock for a huge power boost.
