How to Get the Strange Key

Purify Three Relics and Place Them on the Oxen Gods

To get the Strange Key for the Cow Level, you must first purify the Musty Tome, Bloody Wooden Shard, and Intricate Metallic Fragment. You can purify these relics by dropping them in the fountain water and picking them up again. After picking up the purified relics, place each of them in their corresponding Oxen Gods.

  1. The Musty Tome is placed on the Oxen God of the West.
  2. The Bloody Wooden Shard on the Oxen God of the North.
  3. Intricate Metallic Fragment on the Oxen God of the South.

After placing the relics, the Strange Key should appear on the fountain ground.
