Keys carried by elite enemies

Game data

4 keys only drop from a specific elite (Enraged) enemy. Elites don't respawn, so the key drops once: Beekeeper's Hut Key, Harbour Residence Key, Headman's Key, Wagon Key.

  • Beekeeper's Hut Key: dropped by the elite Eternal Guardsman (Vale of Wrath)
  • Harbour Residence Key: dropped by the elite Risen Duellist (The Outskirts)
  • Headman's Key: dropped by the elite Shambling Civilians (Cursed Hollow)
  • Wagon Key: dropped by the elite Volunteers (Vale of Wrath)

Keys in Valor Mortis open shortcuts, side rooms, stashes and new paths out of a region. 4 of them are tied to elite enemies, so clearing the red-eyed variants of a region is the reliable way to collect them. Vale of Wrath holds the most keys; the hub's Outward Pass Key and Cave Grotto Key open new routes out of the Abandoned Church.
