The Magic Key is located on the 3rd basement of the [[Pyramid]]. It is the 2nd key acquired in the game. The key is required in order to reach [[Portoga]] and progress in the game. In order to get the key, the hero's party must solve a button puzzle which involves pressing 4 buttons in the correct order. The solution is hinted by young boys in the castle of [[Isis]].  As of this game, Magic Key's have unlimited use.

The Magic Key is found in the Nhou Wat ruins connected to [[Phnom Nonh]]. It is in possession of [[Dora-in-Grey]] in the Nhou Wat mural, and she drops the key when she is defeated. The Magic Key is needed to obtain the [[Purple Orb]] in the ruins of [[Zwaardsrust]]. It is also a prerequisite for obtaining the [[Blue Orb]] in [[Sniflheim]], as the city gates are blocked by ice and the only available doorway requires the Magic Key. In his [[Party Chat]] dialogue after the Magic Key is acquired, [[Rab]] mentions both of these doors, which is helpful for first-time players.
