The Forgotten Key is a key item in Dark Souls II.
In-Game Description
- Key found in the Gutter. Intricately designed, but of unknown origin.
- All manner of terrible things have been cast into the Gutter in Majula, forming a settlement of filth and chaos.
Availability[]
The Forgotten Key is obtained once the player defeats the Elite Giants in a hidden part of Black Gulch. This area can be reached by dropping down the ledge onto lower platforms. The number of Elite Giants will increase if the player has summoned Phantom (Dark Souls II)s to help.
Use[]
The Forgotten Key is used to open three (3) Forgotten Doors:
- Majula's Deep Pit - leads to Great Lightning Spear, Soul Vortex, Witchtree Bellvine, and Witchtree Branch. In Scholar of the First Sin, the Dragon Talon is also found here.
- Upper Gutter - leads to Havel's Set and Greatshield.
- Black Gulch (hidden area) - leads to Darkdiver Grandahl.
Notes[]
For unknown reasons, quitting out of the game after killing one of the two Elite Giants and then re-entering the game will grant the player both the Forgotten Key and the Soul of a Giant normally given after both die.
