What to know
- You need two items: Ruins Key Right and Ruins Key Left to open the Bronze Gate in Moonlit Forest
- One key comes from Zephyria during your Explorer certification progression
- The other key is in Azure Bay, down below the bubble bridge area, inside a round wooden chest near the elevator
- After you have both keys, return to the Bronze Gate near Mural Valley to open it
In Starsand Island, in order to open the Bronze Gate, you’ll need two keys. To get these, you’ll basically have to do two short tasks. Trigger the correct Explorer progression so the game awards you one key, then do a quick detour in Azure Bay to loot the other key from a chest near the lift.
| Item you need | How you get it | Area | Main landmark to look for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ruins Key Right | Received from Zephyria after starting the Intermediate Explorer certification/trial | Near your farm area (NPC start) | Zephyria (Explorer mentor) |
| Ruins Key Left | Looted from a round wooden chest | Moonlit Forest: Azure Bay | Elevator down to the lower level (chest is nearby) |
How to get the ruins key right from Zephyria
Step 1
Go to Zephyria and start the Intermediate Explorer certification/trial conversation.
Step 2
Finish the dialogue until the game awards you the key in your inventory (this is the key that’s tied to your Explorer progression).
Step 3
If you don’t see it immediately, check your inventory carefully and confirm you’re on the Intermediate Explorer path (this key is not meant to be found as random loot).
How to get the ruins key left from Azure Bay chest
Step 1
Travel to Moonlit Forest and reach the Azure Bay section.
Step 2
Find the bubble bridge area that leads onward from the Bronze Gate route.
Step 3
Instead of crossing the bubble bridge, drop down into the lower area beneath it (this is the intended route for the chest).
Step 4
Move toward the land near the water.
Step 5
Just a little ahead, locate the round wooden chest and open it to obtain the Ruins Key Left (along with other materials).
Step 6
Use the elevator to return to the upper level when you’re done.
Location
You’ll be moving between Zephyria (to trigger the Intermediate Explorer certification and receive one key) and Moonlit Forest’s Azure Bay (to loot the chest near the elevator after dropping below the bubble bridge), then back to the Bronze Gate near Mural Valley to use both keys.
Rewards you get along the way
| Activity | Guaranteed key reward | Other rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Intermediate Explorer certification start with Zephyria | Ruins Key Right | None that matter for this objective |
| Opening the Azure Bay chest near the elevator | Ruins Key Left | Extra materials from the chest |
Opening the Bronze Gate
Step 1
Go back to the Bronze Gate area (the big locked gate near Mural Valley in Moonlit Forest).
Step 2
Interact with the gate once both keys are in your inventory.
Step 3
Proceed through the newly opened path to continue deeper into the ruins/forest progression.
Once you treat Zephyria as your required start point and Azure Bay as your quick chest detour, the whole process becomes a clean loop: talk to Zephyria, loot the Azure Bay chest near the elevator, then return to the Bronze Gate and open it.
