Hatches to hatches, dust to dust, here is a freakin quest that's quite the bust.

So there's a hatch over this monster's lair. I've stood next to it, I've stood over it, I've tried pressing 'u' to interact with it, as well as I, as well as SHIFT+A to target attack it but I can't do anything like it. It doesn't come up with 'u' or anything else. How does one get through a hatch and down into a lair?

Have you tried approaching it from every direction?

Travel away and then back. That unlocks them for me. I think the inhabitants will lock hatches if you run in, alert them, and run back out-- it's happened to me several times before.

Ah, that was it. SHIFT+> nearby or on top of it. I don't know which, I just sort of spammed it and then had to ALT over to the empty hole to descend.

If grass and plants are nearby the hatch, burn it off and sneak around it to pass the time. Then you will have made your own entrance by smoke and fire.
