01The keys are not interchangeable

This trips up more players than anything else in the item list. Blackmarrow Key, Blackwater Key, Crypt Key and Chapel Key each open one specific thing. Carrying the wrong one to a locked door does nothing.

02Chapel Key

Found on an elevated stone altar just past the Sunken Crypt. To reach it, work through the eastern courtyard and climb the spiral stone stairs.

It unlocks the chapel door leading to the Shrine of Trials, near the Mushroom Village beacon.

03Crypt Key

Inside the only building in Desolate Peak — the one directly across from Baghead's throne, in the centre of the island.

It opens the entrance to the Hall of Echoes dungeon in the northern section of Fainweald. If you are already going to Desolate Peaks for the Baghead questline, grab this on the same trip.

04Blackmarrow Key

Blackmarrow Keys open the locked Shell Shade chests near the Marrow Keep elevator. Since Marrow Keep is your hub, these are easy to walk past repeatedly without realising what the chests need.
