You need Abbot’s Universal Key to unlock the Oracle, an advanced weapon locked in a display case in The Outer Worlds 2. Alternatively, you can unlock the display case using the Lockpick 12 skill and Mag-Pick item combined, or have an Ex-Convict background to find a vulnerability in the display case. But the easiest way to get this weapon is by getting the Abbot’s Universal Key. We have listed below how you can do that.
Where to find Abbot’s Universal Key in The Outer Worlds 2?
Complete On The Trail Of The Traitor quest by defeating Seer Landon Wiley or talk to Abbot Josef Newell to gain the Abbot’s Universal Key. Do note that Abbot’s Universal Key is a Quest Item and cannot be sold.
To get the key by defeating Seer Landon Wiley, head over to the Observatory and start a dialogue with him. Confront him and engage in battle. Once defeated, Wiley will drop a Ring, Bit Cartridges, and the Abbot’s Universal Key.
But if you don’t get the key from Wiley, you can just talk to Abbot Josef Newell to get the key. From The Oracle display case, head to the blue and white staircase leading you straight outside to Newell. Engage in conversation with him and select either option 1: “I did what I came here to do. That’s all you need to know,” or option 2: “Oh, did I forget to tell you? Seer Wiley orchestrated the entire takeover.”
If you pick option 3: “No time to chat. Go check the Observatory if you want to know what happened,” it will trigger you to leave the conversation. When you select from the first two options, Newell will engage in conversation and will eventually say, “You are welcome to collect the experimental weapon inside the Observatory – the Oracle. It was Landon’s design. Only seems fitting you take it. This key will unlock the case.”
You’ll acquire Abbot’s Universal Key by completing either of these objectives. This was everything you needed to know about how to get Abbot’s Universal Key. For more The Outer Worlds 2 guides, check out How to Resolve the Personality Crisis or How to Unlock the Lockbox For Valerie.
