Locations of all Sword Keys in Elden Ring

xiphoid key в Elden Ring It is a stone key in the shape of a sword. This key can break the seal on imp statues, but the key remains in the statue and cannot be used again. Use wisely.

Sword keys can open additional passages in the game. You will find the first gargoyle at the end of the tutorial, right next to the place of grace floating cemetery A lot is added during the course of the adventure: in the overworld, in small catacombs and ruins, and even in large heritage dungeons.

You must insert a key (max two) into the head of the statue. By the way, you can tell from the statue whether one or two keys are required. If there is already a key in the slot, you only need one.

Note:

• In order to open absolutely all the locks in the game, you will need about 35 xiphoid keys.
• In one playthrough, you can find or buy about 60 sword keys.
