According to https://www.exiledkingdoms.com/wiki/ind ... katir_Mine, there should be an Ancient Steel Key in a chest in Askatir Mine. It isn't there, and even restarting with my oldest saved game doesn't show it.

I attempted to look at my saved game to see if I could figure it out. It seems like Askatir Mine is called J9_cave? Anyway, I have

Code:
	lootedContainers: [
		H10_tomb_shelf
		ng_magistrate_chest
		NG_sewers_corpserats
		NG_sewers_corpse
		NG_sewers_coinchest
		E9_cave_corpse
		E9_cave_secretchest1
		E9_cave_secretchest2
		E9_throne
		G10_tomb_shelf
		F10_druid_chest
		J8_corpse
		F9_mausoleum_chest2
		F9_mausoleum_chest1
		F9_mausoleum_shelf
	]

None of those start with J9. (I don't know anything about the saved game format, it would just make sense to me for it to be listed as J9_chest or something. Nothing else looks applicable.)

If I get desperate, I might try tweaking my saved game, because EK is *awesome* and I really don't want to be stuck. But I also don't know if you checksum them or something, and fear breaking things.

Search for J9, I see under leveldata.containers I have:

Code:
		{
			items: {
				stackUnits: [ 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ]
				itemList: [ 2605, 6005, 5025, 5021, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ]
			}
			name: Chest
			container_tag: J9_duremas_chest
			iconName: chest_big1
			worldfactions: [ 0, 0 ]
			uniqueID: 13
			x: 1625
			y: 1705
		}

but I don't know if that's the one I want, or completely unrelated.

Help?

(And thank you so much for this game! It's worth way more than its price.)

The key is in the the farther NW room, way in the back. Double check you got that chest.

Yes, I'm very sure I got that chest. (I was initially confused because it is a small chest next to a large chest, but yes, I've checked both.)

Also, you can get a key from New Anthur by talking to the crazy guy.

Ah! Perfect, that's plenty good enough. I probably haven't had good enough rep with the Three to get that one yet, although I just gave them a shiny new temple so hopefully they'll warm up to me... yeah, looks like I'm at 32 now.

Excellent, thank you!

Oh... didn't think of that as a trouble shooting aspect. The key MIGHT NOT appear at all until the quest is active. I forgot to check if you activated the quest.

I once got confused why I couldn't flip the lever in the final room of the poisoned tower. Stumped me until I realized I hadn't activated the quest on that play through. It was a low level run too so I fought hard to get through that place.
