It depends on the particular vault. Some vaults can be opened if you have
a thief/ninja of a high enough level in your party. When you click on the
safe, it'll say (paraphrased): "You think the combination is X-Y-Z. Enter
combination." Type the numbers X-Y-Z in and the safe may open.

There are some safes that your thief/ninja won't be able to crack, though.
You'll have to get the numerical combinations for those safes from someone
else, such as Dimitri or Queen Kalindra or an "innocent man" languishing
in Castle Kalindra's dungeons. ^_^ Whenever you get a combination from
someone, it will automatically be recorded in your auto-notes.

Darkside outdoor area B2 (x13, y14). It costs 5,000 gold per person, and
you'll need at least 2 mountaineers to travel among the mountains.
