Where to Buy Keys
March 24, 2026 at 04:12 AM
Initial version covering key purchasing and usage
Keys in Crimson Desert use a universal system. Any generic key works on any locked door (unless the door requires a specific named key from a quest). Keys are consumed on use, so you will want a steady supply.
Generic keys are sold at Back Alley Shops for 30 coins each. The first Back Alley Shop is just southeast of Hernand City along the stream. A second is located south of St. Halssius's House of Healing, east of Hernand.
Each Back Alley Shop stocks only three keys at a time, and restocking takes roughly two in-game days. Plan ahead if you need many keys at once.
Enemy drops: Bandits, goblins, and other hostile NPCs sometimes drop keys when defeated. It is not guaranteed, but looting every body adds up over time.
World loot: Keys occasionally sit on tables, shelves, and inside containers in buildings and camps.
Most buildings with locked front doors also have climbable windows. Scaling the wall and entering through a window gets you inside without spending a key. Look for ledges, vines, and windowsills around the building before using a key.
Keys are used automatically when you approach a locked door. This means you can accidentally consume a key on a door you did not intend to open. Be mindful of your proximity to locked doors if you are saving keys for a specific location.
