In order to unlock and open these cabinets, you need to start the Daedalian Keys side quest. For those who don’t know, this side quest is activated after talking to Nellie Oggspire in the Astronomy Wing. At the same time, she will give you the task to find 16 Daedalian Keys. These 16 Daedalian keys are not like a normal key. In fact, these are flying keys that look like a dragonfly.
