Elden Ring’s Stonesword Key is a Key Item and a Keepsake. Using a Stonesword key, you can break one imp statue seal. Elden Ring’s key items are a range of artifacts that are in specific locations. Some are from relevant NPCs and these artifacts can open zones, quests, and a few advance the game’s story.

A sword-shaped stone key. Breaks the seal on imp statues, but remains embedded in the statue after use, meaning it can only be used once as an item. Think well before using one.

Stonesword Key

You’ll come across elevators, mist walls, doors, and other spots that require the usage of a Stonesword Key along your adventure across Elden Ring. You must insert the key into the Imp Statues to obtain entry to these zones.

Uses

Stonesword Keys are utilized to gain entry to regions that would otherwise be inaccessible. These locations can contain a variety of objects, including powerful items, upgrade materials, bosses, and everything in between.

They can even provide you access to additional zones or shortcuts. Stone Imp Statues are a clear indicator that a Stonesword Key is necessary to progress, so you should keep a watch out for them.

LIMGRAVE

• Fringefolk Hero’s Grave
  • There’s a poisonous pool nearby. Run forward and turn right onto the stone platform at the end. Continue forward, but beware of a massive mechanical creature approaching you. Hide behind the columns on the side to avoid getting demolished. To get down, use the small rooms to move slowly but steadily, keeping in mind that there are foes around. When you get to the bottom, there’s a statue of Marika to help you descend because there will be a lot of foes.
  • Once you’ve made it to the end, you’ll face an Ulcerated Tree Spirit in a boss battle. To receive a Golden Seed and a Banished Knight Oleg, defeat it. The Erdtree’s Favor Talisman can be found at a concealed position if you jump down at the beginning of the bridge. A Stonesword Key can also be found, effectively reducing the number of keys required to reach this location to just one.

  • Players can locate a Nomadic Warrior’s Cookbook [9] through the seal with a Stonesword key.
