Ornate Key

Description

The following information contains spoilers regarding the story or ending of the game. Discretion is advised.

The Ornate Key is the first and most accessible Relic that is recommended for the Fisherman to dredge up, being just on the southwestern side of Greater Marrow and having nothing in the way to acquire it.

It is the key which belongs to the Music Box.

Upon giving the Collector the Key, you will be rewarded with the Haste Ability.

Trivia

The following information contains spoilers regarding the story or ending of the game. Discretion is advised.

• The Ornate Key is the first item listed in The Collector pursuit.

• Upon having maximum panic, the Ornate Key will become Antique Diary Key, now reading the alternate item description.

• Giving the key to the Collector, you notice, "The shape of the key - the teeth, the head - now somehow seem changed, smaller. Has it always been this way?" This also matches the item's alternate description.

• In the note "Artifact Manifest", the Music Box had been found and left closed, "for fear of damaging the mechanism; pending inspection by locksmith." This implies that the Key had been separated from the Music Box for quite some time.

• It is referenced more than once that the key hasn't been used, which is set in stone during the ritual, where the Collector explicitly inserts the Key inside the Music Box without turning it.
