Isle of Siptah Skeleton Keys

[reshoku]

So do they just not exist? I keep finding chests looking for skeleton keys, so I googled how to drop them and no one has a clear answer.

I've killed standard bosses - at least 50 - nothing.
My clan and I have killed world bosses - at least 25 - nothing.

So do they exist? Is there an incredibly specific way to get them? Or what?

Kill world bosses. After killing them harvest with a hatchet or pick axe. As part of the harvest you should get a skeleton key. Siptah isn't like the base game: there's no games of hunt-the-box after harvesting a skeleton key - the loot chests are all in the dungeons.

If you were killing the one skull Children of Gulleh, the last patch removed their skeleton keys as they were too easy. Like the exiled lands, undead bosses and dragons do not drop keys. Vault bosses don't drop keys either. Regular three skull world bosses like giant crocs and spiders drop keys every time when harvested.

There is a cluster of loot boxes in front of the tower and one in each vault.

The three skull Bear World Boss *Journey achievement Kill a World Boss... First time I butchered with the cleaver... Second time just now I used the pick... No skeleton key. I'm level 60. ???

Not all bosses on Siptah drop keys. If you kill a boss and it doesn't drop a key, it won't do that no matter how many times you try. Tools don't matter, key drops with any harvesting tool if it's going to drop.
Crocks, spiders, lacertas and swamp rhino bosses always drop keys.

I just got one from a 3 skulls kind of salamander on the south beach of Siptah island.

unlike on Exiles map it seems that you keep the key after looting a chest.

but it is not called "skeleton key" in french. it's more like Master key (passe-partout)

it also acts on a special placable you raise up pulling levels in a ruin not far from the eastern flame (in the forest southwest)

in fact, my thrall bugged while 2 crocodies and that beast stacked on me.
I logged off and when i was back the salamander did not defend so it was an easy kill :p

Both Scorpions in K9 drop Skeleton Keys and respawn kinda quick.

The more I play Siptah, the less I like it.
