Learn how to get keys in Cat Quest with this golden key guide to open treasure chests for the best gear. Below is a step by step video and screenshot guide to completing the quest to start unlocking the chests and requires players be level 27 to complete the Royal Art of Water Walking quest in Pawt City from the Governor first.

How To Get Keys In Cat Quest

To complete the golden key quest players need to:

1. Obtain the ability to walk on water from the Pawt City Governor then visit your initial town (Mewtown) and head south until you reach Gentle Town.
   
2. Visit the quest board at Gentle Town and accept “The Golden Key” quest and complete the dialogue from the townsfolk.
   
3. Move to the bottom left corner of the island and enter the Founder’s Cave.
   
4. Inside the cave you’ll find chest and golden chest enemies which must be defeated carefully as they deal 9,999 damage. Given you will not be able to survive any hits from the enemies regardless of your equipment you should maximise attack damage and magic damage instead to decrease the fight time. If you die at anytime you will be returned to Gentle Town and will have to restart clearing the cave but there are no limits to your attempts.
   
5. When all enemies are defeated you will find a Golden Key automatically. You can now also open the two normal chests in the cave for additional loot.
   
6. Return to Gentle Town and finish the dialogue with the townsfolk. This will complete the quest, reward a game item and permanently unlock the ability to open an unlimited number of golden chests within the various Cat Quest caves, dungeons and other treasure puzzles.
