Where to Find the Sarcophagus Key in Avowed

To begin your search for Avowed’s Sarcophagus Key, players should note that the key is hidden within the confines of the Garden. Each region in Avowed is designed to be distinct and self-contained, meaning any quest item can only be found within the same area you are currently exploring. If you’ve already come across the sarcophagus itself, rest assured you are close to uncovering the key.
As you navigate the Garden, watch for a chamber featuring a small, circular pool of water. This area is difficult to overlook, as it lies directly along the main path. You will sense you’re approaching it once you pass through Kai’s hallucination chamber, where you’ll encounter Tama on the bed. Be prepared, as this chamber is likely to be crawling with Skeletons and Moon Spiders eager to ambush you.
Once you’ve dispatched the enemies, venture through the far door located at the end of the chamber. You will then dive into a deep pool of water and face a choice: head left or right. Opt for the left path.
After surfacing, you’ll spot a small rock ledge you can climb. However, the exit is obstructed by large brambles. Use a fire spell or ability, such as Kai’s skills, or throw a Magran’s Fury grenade to clear the way. Next, create a frozen pad of water to successfully cross this area and reach the exit.

Once you’ve exited the cave, resist the urge to jump off the edge. Instead, take a sharp left to locate the Sarcophagus Key resting on a corpse. This key is crucial for obtaining one of Avowed’s most valuable items.
How to Use the Sarcophagus Key in Avowed

If you haven’t previously located the rock sarcophagus in the Garden, here’s how to find it. Begin your search from the Enclosed Grove Camp, the primary Party Camp situated within the Garden.
Starting at the Adra Waystone, turn southwest and head back through the door you initially used to access the Party Camp. Once back, turn left and descend the stairs.
Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, you’ll discover a sunken area illuminated by a golden glow emanating from deep inside. Proceed to the rear of this alcove to uncover the treasure sarcophagus that the Sarcophagus Key unlocks. Inside, you will find the Spiritmender Armor, a powerful set of legendary medium armor.
