The ancient key is an item obtained from the Bank Camel after properly dealing with certain items dropped by the four bosses in the Tombs of Amascut.
The key is used to enter the strange tablet and open the strange chest in order to acquire the mask of rebirth.
Upon death, the ancient key will be lost.
Obtaining the key
To obtain the key, players will first need to complete the Into the Tombs miniquest.
- Speak to the Bank Camel by using a camulet on it and going through the dialogue options until it requests you to "restore what is lost". (
••)…
2 So, what do you make of all this? 1 I swear, I'm only here to deal with the Devourer's corruption! 3 It seems to be important to you. - Complete the following in any order:
- Use a bucket of water on the scarab dung to get a dawn scarab egg.
- Bring the dawn scarab egg to the High Priest of Scabaras beneath the Ruins of Ullek.
- Use the big banana on Awowogei. You will need a Monkeyspeak amulet if you have not completed Monkey Madness II.
- Use the eldritch ashes on the High Priest of Sophanem.
- With a spade and the fang, dig at the island where players acquired the Lily of the Elid during Beneath Cursed Sands, located west of Nardah.
- Use a bucket of water on the scarab dung to get a dawn scarab egg.
- Speak to the Bank Camel with the camulet again for the key. (
2 I believe I understand now.
Use
The ancient key is used to pass through the strange tablet in Osmumten's burial chamber. Beyond the tablet is the strange chest, which contains the mask of rebirth. Since the strange tablet is located in the treasure room at the end of the Tombs of Amascut, the key must be brought through the raid to the end each time it is to be used. No other items are required to open the hidden chest.
The key is not consumed when used on the strange tablet nor does the strange tablet stay unlocked, and as such the ancient key must be brought back through the Tombs of Amascut to reacquire the mask of rebirth if the mask is lost or destroyed.
