How to Get
Awarded as a quest reward in the Senkamati temple investigation chain. Not a chest drop; the key only enters your inventory through a scripted quest step.
The key is handed over during the temple-key step of the Senkamati investigation chain that runs through the main Lost Cargo storyline. After John deciphers the recovered Senkamati clay tablets, the trail leads to a ritual site hidden inside the Ancient Ruins, and the carved stone key is obtained there as a scripted reward rather than as random chest loot. Because it is quest-gated, you cannot farm duplicates: one key is granted for the gate it unlocks.
What It Unlocks
The Ritual Key opens the inner gates of the Senkamati temple structures, letting you reach the sealed back chambers that hold the chain's relics. It is one of several gate keys in the region; the Sealed Temple boss arena in the Foothills uses its own unlock item, so keep the two key types separate when sorting your inventory. The carvings and the "sacred rituals" flavor tie the key to the Senkamati priesthood that built the temples.
Tips
Follow the active quest marker rather than searching the map: the key only enters your bag at the scripted step, so reaching the ritual site early does not let you skip ahead.
Read the recovered tablets and murals along the way. They flesh out the Senkamati backstory and confirm which gate the key matches.
The key stacks to 99 but you will only ever hold the one the quest grants, so it costs almost no inventory space.
