The '''Ultimate Key''' is a recurring magical item that can change its appearance to fit any possible lock, as opposed to the [[Magic Key]] which can only undo magical seals on doors and the [[Thief's Key]] being designed to break simple locks. It is necessary to advance the later stages of a game's story, usually by opening a jail door.

The Ultimate Keyis found at the [[Shallows Shrine]], which requires a mini-quest to be completed in order to enter the shrine.

Acquiring the Ultimate Key is one of the first major tasks the player must accomplish after receiving the [[ship]] in [[Portoga]]. It requires visiting at least 2 separate locations.

The village has an [[item shop]] which sells [[Fading Jenny]]s. These herbs turn the {{Hero 3}}'s party invisible for a short amount of time. An herb needs to be purchased here, or otherwise the party must grind a [[Mage]] or [[Sage]] to Lv33 to learn [[Fade]] as an alternative.

The castle is guarded so that outsiders may not enter by normal means. By using a Fading Jenny or the Fade spell, the {{Hero 3}}'s {{Party 3}} can sneak by the sentries guarding the entrance. Inside, there is a boulder puzzle located on the second floor which must be solved. The player must push three boulders around water hazards into a straight line on the north wall. After successfully completing the puzzle, the {{Hero 3}} is rewarded with the [[Bottomless Pot]].

The Ultimate Key is given by the Queen of [[Femiscyra]] after confronting the [[Kirk Buzzer|rosary thief]]. It is needed to obtain the {{Zenithian shield}} in the basement of [[Femiscyra]] Castle.

The Ultimate Key is obtained after defeating [[Bjørn the Behemoose]]. It is necessary to obtain the Zenithian armour in [[Crocodilopolis]] as well opening the door in the [[Estuary Sanctuary]] leading to the portal to [[Nadiria]].

The Ultimate Key is found at [[Sunken Ship]], which requires a [[Lorelei's Harp]] to be found.

The Ultimate Key is found at [[Cathedral of Light]].

The Ultimate Key is given by [[Marta]] shortly before she is murdered by [[Rhapthorne]]. It is needed to find the pirate's map.

The Ultimate Key is obtained in the [[Gortress]] after defeating [[Goreham-Hogg]]. It is needed to free the captured [[celestrian]]s.

The Ultimate Key is obtained in a chest located in [[Havens Above]]. The Key is only obtainable in the post-game.
