Imbued Sword Key is a Key Item in Elden Ring.
This item is part of Nepheli Loux and (optionally) White Mask Varré's questlines.
Description[]
Stone key shaped like a sword. A special item, imbued with rich blue magic.
Breaks the seal on the imp statues guarding the sending gates enshrined in each belfry, but remains embedded in the statue after use, meaning it can only be used once as an item.
Think well before using one.

Acquisition[]
- Liurnia of the Lakes (Four Belfries)
Area: found in the chest near the Site of Grace.
- Liurnia of the Lakes (Debate Parlor)
Area: found on the rooftop section of Raya Lucaria Academy, north-west of the Site of Grace.
- Caelid (Sellia Under-Stair)
Area: found in the chest guarded by a Twinsage Scholar, east of the Site of Grace.
Shadow of the Erdtree[]
A fourth key can be found in a chest in the tower southwest of Castle-Lord's Chamber Site of Grace in Castle Ensis. Simply take the lower western opening from the grace and take the elevator down to find the chest to the south.
Effects[]
Can be used to unlock the disabled Sending Gates of The Four Belfries, but will be consumed upon use.
- Crumbling Lands: leads to an isolated section of Crumbling Farum Azula, where the Pearldrake Talisman is found.
- Night Sky Unceasing: leads to an isolated section of Nokron, Eternal City, where the Mottled Necklace is found.
- Precipice of Anticipation: leads back to the starting area of the game, where the Grafted Scion Mini-Boss can be challenged again, if not defeated previously; past him, Stormhawk Deenh Spirit Ash, the Stormhawk King Key Item to progress Nepheli's questline and the corpse of your Finger Maiden to progress Varré's questline via the Lord of Blood's Favor are also found.
Note that since all three areas are disjointed from the rest of the map, the only way to leave is by teleporting.
Shadow of the Erdtree[]
Another Sending Gate can be found in the Realm of Shadow. It is found behind Castle Ensis, on a small island just north of the Castle Ensis Checkpoint Site of Grace and just west of the Highroad Cross Site of Grace in Scadu Altus.
The end points for this portal is a small body of water in the southern part of the Ancient Ruins of Rauh.
Notes[]
- As with other Key Items, even if not used, they'll be lost upon entering New Game Plus.
