General Skeleton keys

I'm currently on Isle of siptah and I am finding myself severely lacking in skeleton keys. On the Exiled Lands I could get a dozen keys, if not more in about 30 mins. So I'm just wondering if anyone has anyone spots or maybe a map with bosses that are guaranteed to have skeleton keys. Thanks much!

There are 5 bosses in the ruins of x'chotl on the western side of the map that will drop keys.

And by the time you hit them all the first one respawns. Then take said keys to the 10 chests at the center tower.

Sick, thanks much guys. I don't have a lot of experience on Siptah, but luckily I did set up a small Outpost with a travel stone right near there. 🤘🤘

There are 3-skull Crocodiles and Crested Lacerta reptiles that litter the shoreline around Isle of Dusk and the southern shoreline of SIptah just north of the Isle of Dusk. They're easy pickings and will drop Skeleton Keys.

Also, if you have the Sorcery resources, a fairly benign way to acquire Skeleton Keys is to summon the wolfman vendor 'It That Hunts' at your chalk circle and send it out for a Skeleton Key. It's a 2hr turnaround for it to get the item you send it out for.

It's more of a kind of option for players who have amassed a bunch of materials and need to spend them on something, anything, but yeah, it's supplemental, at best. Those keys start to stack up as long as you consistently summon It That Hunts to get them for you tho. When you summon it to receive the first item you sent it out for, you can immediately pay it again, thereby establishing a resource loop of getting a key and sending it out for another in perpetuity.

Obviously a faster way is to locate a few 3-skull bosses and farm them as they respawn every 15 minutes.

Absolutely, they have come in clutch a few times when I didn't realize how low I was on some items. And, giving them exclusive items keeps it so they stay viable. Definitely a neat addition.
