Normally, Silver Keys don't duplicate. After you get one, that one is gone from the map. However, you can get as many as you could need during the "Save the Archaeologist" quest by using the Hero Save exploit.
During the "Save the Archeologist" quest, fish in the pond across from the Demon Door and get the Silver Key. Save your hero. Now load the game you just saved. The Silver Key you fished up is still in your inventory. Go back to the pond and fish again for another Silver Key. Continue this process to get all the Silver Keys you'll ever need.
Note: With this trick you can get unlimited Silver Keys, gain experience points (around 60,000 per), a Silver Augmentation, and gold. When you reach The Graveyard Path quest, talk to the Gravedigger as usual. Remember to get the Ages Of Skill Potion from the cabinet in the Gravedigger's Shack. Once inside the graveyard, find the mausoleum in the south part of the map. Inside the tomb you will find the first of three Silver Keys. In a grave to the right just outside, you can dig up the second. To the left, you will see a fishing spot where you can pull up the third. While making your way through the graveyard, keep your Physical Shied active (the higher level the better) to keep your Combat Multiplier from dropping. Once you gotten all other items from the graveyard you can get 1,500 gold scattered, two Health potions, a Will potion and some tattoos. Finish gathering Nostro's Armor, Sword, Shield, and Helmet. You can then move on to the Old Graveyard path. Make sure your Physical Shield is still on and that your Mana at least two thirds charged. Note: Mana will not regenerate while Physical Shied is active. Once inside, you will be swarmed with undead. Using whatever means desired (melee is easiest due to the number; if you decide to use Flame spells watch your Mana level), dispatch all the undead. Using Physical Shield, it is easy to get your multiplier around 50 or greater. Use the Ages Of Skill Potion when your Multiplier is at its peak, along with any other Ages Of Potions you have been saving. You can go as far as the door to The Circle Of The Dead (where you can grab a Silver Augmentation to use or sell from the chest to the left of the door). You can enter the Circle Of The Dead, but unless you time it well the quest will end. Once you have your Silver Keys, gold, and experience, go to the start menu and Hero Save the game. Load your Hero Save and you will be back at Headman's Hill with the three Silver Keys, about 60,000 in General Experience (along with whatever Attribute Skill you used to kill the Undead), a Silver Augmentation, and gold. You can repeat this process as much as desired. You can walk out with 25 Silver Keys in no time. With 25 Silver Keys you can now open the Silver Key Chest at the Heroes' Guild training area and get the Legendary Murren Greathammer. This melee weapon has an Experience Augmentation installed. You do not have to use the weapon -- just have it equipped to gain the benefits of the augmentation. If you have trouble finding Silver Keys, or anticipate needing some later, this is a good way to get the 30 you will need to open the Silver Key Chest at the Lost Bay.
Note: This trick requires a spade. First, take the Hobbe Cave Quest and go to the Rose Cottage. Walk to the circle of flowers near the house. Use your spade and dig up a Silver Key. You can also get 500 gold each time you do this if desired, by cutting the thorns and opening the treasure chest; however, you will get Evil points. Do a Hero Save, then load the saved game again. You should appear out of the Rose Cottage area. You can repeat this process as much as desired. If you want to get unlimited keys throughout the game, do not finish the quest. You can keep going back and getting the Silver Key. |
