In-Game Description
"A key that Grundir gave. It is required to enter the Spire of the Stars on the hill behind Scholastone Institute."
How to Obtain
The key is given directly by Grundir during the Chapter 4: The Price of Knowledge questline, after Kliff arrives at the Scholastone Institute. The Scholastone Institute is located high up in the mountains of the Hernand region. Upon arriving, Kliff follows the Dean who introduces a tutor named Octavius, who demonstrates a new invention. After completing the initial Scholastone tasks, Grundir provides the key for Spire access.
Uses
Use the key on the Spire of the Stars door to enter the tower. Inside, Kliff encounters a series of puzzles:
Engraved Stones: Find three doors to push open (one on the left, two on the right), collect Engraved Stones from inside each, and insert them into the center console.
Rotating Mechanisms: Climb up and hang onto stone pieces to move them downward. Align the stones with the patterns on the wall to activate the lift.
Ascent: Once the mechanisms are aligned, the lift activates and carries Kliff to the top of the Spire.
Completing the Spire of the Stars leads to the Obsession and Madness quest, where Kliff investigates the Abyss further and is teleported to the Sky Islands.
Notes
The Key to the Spire of the Stars cannot be sold or discarded.
This key is part of the Chapter 4 questline where Kliff also obtains the Kuku Iron Pot and unlocks the Focused Force Palm skill.
