Copper Key: Clues & Steps To Get The Key

Infiltrate this sacred place unharmed
And there you shall find a secret old charm

Jade Key: Clues & Steps To Get The Key

The first Jade Key clue was dropped Sunday, March 18 Roblox

UPDATE 03/18/18: Roblox has dropped the first Jade Key clue. It is as follows:

Jade Key Clue #1

Unlocking the Jade Key requires precision
Though some may lack the vision
Now you're deep in hostile territory
And these ghouls are out for glory
Decrypt my journal entry and it shall reveal
A passphrase for something most conceal

UPDATE 3/19/18: Roblox has released two more Jade Key Clues. They are as follows:

Jade Key Clue #2

"The blog contains the location if you can decrypt its translation. Unscramble the author's name of a recent post and you'll find another clue first and foremost."

Jade Key Clue #3

"Calling all mobile players! A secret path to the Jade Key has been unlocked. If you can puzzle out this clue, it might reveal the location: Check the creator's profile and you'll find something worthwhile. Play this instrument and the key will be imminent."

Jade Key Location Solution: How To Get It

  • Go to the Phantom Forces Game
  • Play on the Highway Map or the Crane Map
  • Find a green vending machine. (If you are on the Crane map, right next to the crane is a little building that contains the vending machine).
  • The vending machine will have little lit up boxes on it. Your goal is to turn all the blocks grey.
  • Each time you shoot a block on the vending machine, all of the immediately surrounding blocks that are lit will go gray and the blocks that were gray will light up. Puzzle this one out till they all turn grey.
  • Once all blocks are grey you'll get a "Jade Key" item, but this is not the Jade Key that completes the puzzle. The Jade Key item will serve as a melee item. You can use it to replace your knife.
  • Once you've got the Jade key item, your progress will be saved and it's ok to switch servers.
  • Next you'll need to go into the Suburban Map and you'll see a small light blue house in the middle.
  • Go through the house and look for a blue room with a bed and small home office in it. Find a door in there and you'll see it has a keyhole in it. Hit the door and you'll be teleported to the last part of the mission
  • The map you end up on is like Call of Duty Zombie. You will have an assault rifle and shotgun with infinite ammo, along with three grenades.
  • The goal is to survive seven rounds of zombies.
  • You health does regenerate some at the end of each round but try to be careful as you'll have to start again if you die.
  • Once you've taken out all seven rounds of zombies, you'll be awarded the real Jade Key
  • To equip the key, simply go to your Roblox Profile, go to your avatar and inside the helmet section you should see the related key helmet.

Crystal Key Location: Guide To Finding Final Key

UPDATE 03/20/18 9:00pm ET - the final Crystal Key has been found by YouTuber KreekCraft. Here are instructions a redditor gave for finding it. You can also check out the Crystal Key Solution video below.

GUIDE TO GET CRYSTAL KEY:

  1. Have all previous keys
  2. Go to Hexaria, go through tutorial then when you're in the first level run to the town
  3. In one of the houses is an NPC called Bernard, talk to him he'll say "Lux loquitor..." and the a text box pops up
  4. Enter "Light Speaks" and he'll say some fluff.
  5. Run around the edge of the map and look for a tree with a lantern hanging from it.
  6. Wait for a minute or two and it will start to flash, start recording the game with your choice of video capture, I used shadow play.
  7. Wait for a minute or so of morse and then decode it, I used a free app from the android play store and held the camera on my phone up to the screen to decode it. You're looking for a 4 letter repeating code. This is UNIQUE and you MUST decode the morse yourself.
  8. Take the code back Bernard and put the code you got into the text box you saw earlier.
  9. You will receive a fortune cookie.
  10. Go to the 3rd level of the game (avoid all mobs, reset if you get caught in combat)
  11. Run to the 2 tall towers you can see, talk to the guy called Nick F, with his dialogue open, type "light speaks" in chat. You will teleport.
  12. Run in a straight line up to Crykee, he'll talk and when finished stand on the TINY little block behind him.
  13. Open your inventory, and use the fortune cookie.
  14. Open the map and type this code: 1235573277 a new place on the map should appear, click it to teleport
  15. You'll spawn at a house, run forward and into it and up the stairs into the bedroom and stand on the bed.
  16. Type the quote from the fortune cookie EXACTLY, punctuation, caps etc, into chat and you'll hear a sound.
  17. Go to the bathroom, pick up the philosopher's stone and reset.
  18. Go to Nick F from earlier and he'll trade the philosopher's stone for the crystal key
  19. Go to the chuch in first zone, tell the Ted his last name is "Longbottom", go through the new blue portal in the church floor
  20. Beat Travoltron in a dance off, if you fail, you have to fight him - just reset and try again.
  21. Beat him for the crown.
