I would also like to address the so-called “workaround” that many players describe online — specifically activating Photo Mode or rapidly opening the settings menu near the locked door in hopes that a collision glitch will push the character through the wall.
This is not a legitimate solution. Relying on unintended physics or camera behavior to bypass level geometry is effectively exploiting a bug to bypass another bug. It does not resolve the underlying progression issue and should not be considered an acceptable fix for a main story blocker in a commercial release.
A progression-breaking defect should be addressed with a proper patch or official solution, not left for players to circumvent through unintended glitches.
