What It’s Used For
It is part of the route toward Shrine of Xxarteck.
Where This Fits in Progression
The Ancient Iron Key belongs to the late Shrine progression path.
It unlocks the Shrine’s final sealed room, and it only matters once the deep-research arc is finished. The records place it in the Art Gallery, but the exact route this build uses is not fully confirmed yet, so this page does not state one.
The area it opens
After completing the deep-research arc, obtain the Ancient Iron Key from the Art Gallery for the Shrine’s final sealed room.
What else you need
This item is not the only condition. The records also check:
Grow crops and raise animals to weaken the Stone Tower seal until the Shrine opens.
