discarded palace key

[Hen burton]

can I get it after end of the game? I read on wiki that it drops after u defeat the Baleful Shadow. But I didnt talk to Renni in the 1st place :( New game only?

I am unsure about this, you need to give Ranni fingerslayer blade, then she is gone from her tower. In the Renna rise the seal is gone and you can get snow witch set and find portal, after using a portal, you gonna pick up miniature Ranni doll, sit at grace nearby and talk to doll 3 times. If the shadow is defeated then you might get the key right away, or you might not get it at all
