See Shadow of the Erdtree Map [Video Location]
Base Game
- One is found in a chest at The Four Belfries. The chest is located in front of the fourth belfry, at the very top of the hill.
- It can be looted off a corpse found on the east side of the Raya Lucaria Academy rooftops.
- One is found in Sellia, Town of Sorcery in a small building in the northeast section of town. The area the key is found in is initially blocked off by a light blue barrier, but climbing to the top of the 3 towers in town and lighting the flame when prompted will enable access to these locations.
Elden Ring Imbued Sword Key Use
- Imbued Sword Keys are used to activate Waygates at The Four Belfries, allowing users to teleport to various locations.
- In Shadow of the Erdtree, the key can be used at a gate above the front entrance to Castle Ensis. Head southeast from the Scadutree Altus, West site of grace, or southwest from the Highroad Cross grace. Look for a orangey rectangle on the map, towards the east side of the small island. This gate sends you to an isolated location in Ancient Ruins of Rauh, at the large lake southeast of the Rauh Ancient Ruins grace. This area can be accessed later without using the key, but the rest of the zone cannot be accessed from this area. Using this key allows you to pick up the Verdigris Discus talisman earlier in the game.
