Keys

Keys are an obtainable set of items in Zork: MxRP Edition.

Keys are used to unlock locked doors, gates, and less commonly, storage containers located throughout the world. Unlike traditional loot, keys are never randomly generated, and are always spawned in a preset location. This location can be as specific as a mailbox (in the case of the rusty key) or as large as two cells (in the case of the iron key), but they will always spawn without fail. Each key opens one specific lock. The keys, their location, and their respective locks are listed below.

Rusty Key
The rusty key is used to unlock the front door to Bert-Bert's Homestead. It is located either in the mailbox or the garden of the homestead, depending on where the player visits first. The location visited second will yield Lamp fuel.

Iron Key
The iron key, found amongst the Castle Ruins, is used to unlock the safe hidden behind the painting of the lake. It can spawn anywhere in the ruins, but has an increased chance to spawn in the hollowed out book in the library.

Brass Key
The brass key is used to unlock the buried treasure located somewhere along the Beach. It is located in the Shipwreck, east of the Atoll.

Golden Key
The golden key (later revealed to be Messianic metal, and not gold at all) is used during the Main Quest to unlock the Sanctuary. It is automatically awarded to the player during their first time jump, but only if said time jump is initiated at Bert-Bert's Homestead. Otherwise, the player will need to travel back to the present and reacquire the Time Key.

Sapphire Key
The sapphire key is found at the bottom of the Ravine in the present. It can be found in the satchel beside the skeleton housing the Machete or in the surrounding area. It is used, combined with the emerald and ruby keys, to access the dungeon housing the Armor of the Deceiver.

Emerald Key
The emerald key can be found on the dining room table during a time jump, if said time jump was initiated at the castle ruins.

Ruby Key
The ruby key is awarded to the player once they reach 1,000 score.

Dank Key

The dank key can be located in the Treasure Clearing, making it difficult to find from the beginning of the game. This key is used on the chest found underneath spawn, unlocking access to Holy Robes of the Disco Ninja and Cruachan.
