Many secrets and treasures of Elden Ring are hidden behind white force fields that block the way. To deactivate them, you must interact with a nearby imp statue and use one or two Stone Blade Keys. A single-use consumable key. It is difficult to say in advance when it is worth using one of these spikes, a very high level tough fight may await you, or a high quality item, but which you have no use for. your build. This is something we will add here in the future.
Once deactivated, the force field remains so until the passage in NG+, it is then reactivated and it will be necessary to find spikes again.
Where can I find Stonesword Keys?
- If you really want to, you can start the adventure with a Stonesword Keys in your inventory by choosing it as your starting Gift. It's probably not the best choice, especially compared to a Golden Seed, but if you have the invention to get a specific object behind a force field as quickly as possible, it's an option.
- The second source of Stonesword Keys, as well as the easiest to access by far, is the inventory of vendors scattered all over the game world. You can easily spot them at their campfire which releases smoke. Their inventory is variable, as is their price. The merchant at the very south of Necrolimbo, not far from the Castle at the tip of the continent sells one for 2000 Runes. The hidden merchant in the underground region of the river bed sells 3 for 2000 each. We strongly advise you to buy all possible Stonesword Keys each time you need them.
- The second source of these keys is in the form of ground loot, of course. There are plenty of them scattered around the world, usually on isolated corpses that are either a little hidden or hard to get to. When you explore an area or a dungeon, if you see a white sphere that will require effort to obtain, there is a good chance that it is a Stonesword Keys.
- We can guarantee that there are more Stonesword Keys in play than you need to unlock all the accesses , however you may run out of them initially. For example, Valorage Castle includes several such passages and shortcuts to open with.
