Yes, you can open it in read-only mode. Decrypting it however is a different matter.

Can you explain the decrypting?

May you post the MPQ?

There is no decrypting necessary. You should be able to open it just fine.

From what I've read you cant edit MPQs that dont have a listfile, and the MPQ has 2GB.

And i cant post link because i dont have enough posts.

One can open and edit mpqs without list files. They are not different at all.

Yeah i managed to open and extract it but without the listfiles they shown me just a bunch of IDs.

What else should it show? There are no names.

I guess the only way to see them is by an external listfile?

That's correct.
