The Key is an item used to open the Big Chest and obtain the Udjat Eye. It is always found in the Dwelling on either 1-2 or 1-3, in the same level as the big chest.

The chest will not open if you carry the chest and touch the key lying on the ground, or if you throw the key at the chest from afar.
