Gold Key Loot

A list of the items locked up behind gold key locks and the area they're found in. This is not intended to help you find the loot. It's only intended to help you decide whether you should unlock this cache or save your keys for something you want more at a later point in your game. You could also use this to decide which area you want to go to next to try and acquire a specific item.

Cache Contents and Region

This is a list of all items in caches or forcefields that must be unlocked with a gold key (WIP). For item descriptions look in the next section. This section is intended to be as spoiler-free as possible while still letting you, for example, skip the cache with the light weapon and save your key for the heavy weapon in the next region.

'Cache Names' are the names on the signs for those rooms with multiple locked doors. 'Forcefield' indicates a single item sitting behind a forcefield or locked gate with no other nearby locks.

Great guide! A small suggestion: It would be better if you can take note about whether the item can only be acquired by unlocking with golden key or it can also be acquired in other place.

[Emily Mewens]

Id like to confirm that if your heavy weapons character has maxed out heavy weapons, or if you plan on maxing it very soon, then the Ax is entirely not worth it. The Great Axe can be found within the same dungeon which sports better damage, and while the Ax has Flurry, the Great Axe has Cleave which in my opinion is just as good.

[Emily Mewens]

Oh i see. Well thank you anyway :3
All ive been able to find is that the ax is super op when you get it, but nothing about how soon you get something to replace it, or if its worth using the key to potentially miss out on the later stuff :/

[delve202]

I never spent much effort on Heavy Weapons so I couldn't really say, sorry. As I recall, from a long time ago, there are better heavies available but I couldn't tell you when you'd get them compared to the Ax.

[Emily Mewens]

Is the Ax worth snagging?

[MaximKat]

For reference, there is 11 keys. This is enough to open all standalone locks + 1 cache + 1 vault.

[delve202]

Thanks, added.
I'm playing through the game again verifying the cache locations and filling item description where needed.

[Nemizdrimatii]

Ruins of Desarune | Locked Gate | Ax | Heavy Weapons

Please Add.

[Kheben]

Yeah, that one. I didn't mention the exact location since you didn't seem to want to... not hat it's really hidden or anything though. I know you don't want to include direct locations but could be a good idea to at least mention which zones/general areas the keys are in. I've actually been wondering just how many there are so I can decide earlier on how many doors I can even choose to open.

[delve202]

On shipwreck beach? Wow, I forgot that completely. Isn't that right by the first challenge?

I hadn't intended to include key locations or much information about the stash locations since finding things is a major part of the gameplay.
