On the first visit to the Mausoleum, players will be unable to open the Mausoleum gates no matter the tactics they employ. This occurs not long after the Regalith Grand Cathedral has been explored, and the first Mausoleum boss has been taken down. The gates will remain locked until later in the story.

Once players progress into the part of the story where they reach the town of Martira and unlock fast travel, they can come back to Grand Trad's Sunlomeo Street to find a nobleman in front of the Lycaon Magic association. Talking to him will give you a side quest where you need to go back to the Catacombs.

Enter the area, and a set of soldiers will greet the protagonist with less-than-stellar news, that the Cathedral gates had been inaccessible due to repairs to the Cathedral. At this point, the previously locked gates will be visibly open and accessible to players. The items in the area can then be looted by the party.
