I can't find the 5th key

[Heroshrine]

Is my save bugged? Do I need to do something differently? I've been all up and down the wall twice but I can't find the last key.

[Heroshrine]

The person said I "have all 4 keys" but I need 5 so I don't know what to do.

[Azirahael]

One key is always at the very bottom of the wall. Once.
All the others are random.

but they are more likely to be in the top or bottom.

There is one key per biome, so if you remember where you already found the key, you can limit the possible locations

ah, this helps. So I'm just missing the top. I guess I got unlucky and both times it wasn't there.

[Heroshrine]

Nope, still not spawning. Mined out every single mine in the top layer. Nothing. Is my game bugged?

[Rhetoteles]

Same here. I'll try it again tomorrow or I'm going to wait for the next patch. I had some pretty nasty graphic bugs with this version.

I think my game is bugged, looking for the fifth key, Iv opened every cave and found every anomoly twice, and in both those runs I got no more upgrades, of which I only need like 3 more for everything to be fully upgraded...

[MalliGold]

same for me. have had the 4th key for 10 hours now, everything is maxed out, ive had like 7 1hour long runs just searching for the last key, mining out every single mine just to find nothing. I dont know what to do anymore and am on the verge of just quitting the game so close before the end. One weird thing i had in my last run was that i found a room with a crypto key but it was red and i couldnt pick it up or do anything with it. I dont know if it is a bug or not.

If it matters, I don't think the crypto keys are counted as anomolys by the scanner, so don't use that to determine if you've cleared out a mine.

KEK, feels bad man I'm 40+ hours in and still no 5th key xD FML

No, I just mine out around the entire edge of the mine.

I'm starting to think the most recent update bugged it.

If the affirmation that is 1 key per biome is indeed correct. And if you did the same thing as me, the last key is in the least visited cave type, in the hardest one to dig.
Probably in the green computer/chip/laboratory biome right before where you insert the keys .

The problem I had: the key IS NOT guaranteed to be generated during the run.
I went on 2 runs where I completely cleaned these caves and only got blueprints. On my third consecutive attempt, I got it.

It kinda left me a feeling of the game softlocking the last key behind a "have at least 50% of the blueprints". (I have no hard proof, it's just the feeling I got)

Hey! Looking for the last key as well ahah.. I'm desperate ^^"

[MalliGold]

Ive finally found it just randomly in one of the upper caves, i guess it was just luck in the end. good luck to everyone else trying to find it.

[Seikojin]

If you have the scanner for caves, you can check for anomaly counts. Usually, after getting the basic ones, the last couple will be in large caves with multiple anomalies. It is hard to complete all the large maze caves in the near bottom and near top biomes, so just keep trying to get to those asap and clear them out completely.
