Key to mages chest in Ostegar?

[Neon Lotus]

Not the first time in Ostegar, during the DLC to get the King's armor and sword, there is a mages chest that is locked and requires a key. On the wiki I can only find mention of the first chest, not the one from the DLC.

I just finished the DLC and never got the key so I'm wondering if I missed it.

Elric Maraigne mentioned where the key is.

Hidden by the statue.

This information is int he wiki, but it is under A King's Confidant quest section.

when you first go to Ostagar, there's a prisoner in a cage (near where you enter when you return) and if you feed him (or kill him) he'll give you the key, and you can open that chest after you become a grey warden. If you missed that however, you can go to the cage (which has collapsed) and get the key off the prisoner's charred corpse and open it then.

Oh... OH.

I misread the question. Looks like I am a bit tired.

Yeah. I was babbling about the quest key in DLC. Snakeking gave the correct answer about he Mage's Chest key.

Sorry about the mistake that I made.

I believe you can only open that chest once. When the caged prisoner gives you the key you can either open that chest at the start of the game or during the return to Ostegar.

I read the wiki link and it looks like I can't open the chest now in the DLC since I opened it earlier after becoming a warden.
