Golden Keys are required to unlock the Locked Gold Chests found in the Dungeon, Old Shaking Chest in the Cavern Layer, and Golden Lock Boxes obtained by fishing in the Dungeon. A Golden Key is consumed upon use, so unlocking each Gold Chest will require an additional key.
Golden Keys can be acquired by:
- Finding one in an unlocked normal Chest in the Dungeon.
- Killing a Dungeon Slime (100% chance).
- Killing any other Dungeon enemy (1/65 chance).
- Breaking a Pot in the Dungeon (1/40 chance).
Notes[]
- On the
Mobile version, to open a Gold Chest, the player must have a Golden Key in the inventory, and tap on a locked Gold Chest.
- It is possible to obtain a Golden Key before defeating Skeletron when a Chest spawns in the Dungeon entrance.
- Golden keys don't drop from dungeon enemies when killed before Skeletron. This can only be done on the Get fixed boi and Don't Dig Up seeds.
