When you’re playing Diablo 4 and exploring the world of Sanctuary, you may notice the occasional locked treasure chest. These treasures, known ingame as Silent Chests, are only accessible if you have Whispering Keys to unlock them. However, unlike quest items or other consumables, you won’t get these keys from monsters or chest drops. If you’d like to learn more, continue reading to discover how to get a Whispering Key in Diablo 4.
How to Get a Whispering Key to Open Silent Chests in Diablo 4
To get a Whispering Key, you’ll have to head to a town with a Curiosity Vendor. The first town you’ll encounter one of these in is Kyovashad, where you’ll find Lisbeth, the Purveyor of Curiosities. In the bottom-right corner of the city, you’ll find the vendor’s wares, including the Whispering Key for 20 Murmuring Obols. This is the main way to get these keys, and you can buy multiple if you have enough Obols!
After getting your hands on a Whispering Key, you can use it on a Silent Chest to gain random items. While you’ll usually get an assortment of common gear, you can occasionally get rare equipment, making it worthwhile to open a few chests here and there.
Obtaining Obols
As you fight enemies and open chests, you’ll naturally gain Murmuring Obols over time that you can spend at the Curiosity Vendor. You need 20 Obols for Whispering Keys, but you can also purchase random weapons and armor and attempt to upgrade your equipment setup.
You can only hold a limited number of Obols at a time, so be sure to spend some once you reach around 500!
Diablo 4 will be available on June 6, 2023, on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
