Imbued Sword Key Location

Need the Imbued Sword Key to activate the Ancient Ruins of Ruah portal in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree? Follow our guide to find its location within Castle Ensis.

Alright, so you're trying to get to the Ancient Ruins of Ruah, huh? It's a bit out of the way, and that portal you need to use is offline until you grab a special item: the Imbued Sword Key. Don't worry, it's not too far off. You'll find it chilling in a chest inside Castle Ensis.

Here's how to get it:

1. First things first, head to the Castle Front Site of Grace. From there, follow the main path until you spot Miquella's Cross.
2. Keep an eye out for a hole to your right – drop down into it.
3. Once you're down there, look for a ladder to your left, right next to a waterfall. Climb that bad boy up.
4. You'll find a room with a lever. Pull it to open up a gate.
5. Now, just push through the castle. It's a bit of a trek, but you're aiming for a specific tower.
6. Inside that tower, you'll find a chest. Open it up, and voilà! There's your Imbued Sword Key.

With the key in hand, you can head back to the portal. It'll be active now, letting you zip between the Ancient Ruins of Ruah and Scadu Altus. Pretty neat, right?
