Key items are unique, non-consumable items that are essential for story progression or unlocking new areas and features. These include things like 'Spirit Keys' for the Evil Spirit Club, 'Exhibit Tickets' for the Inaba Pride Exhibit, or special items that open shortcuts. Key items are automatically used when needed and cannot be sold or discarded. Keep track of your current objectives, as they often involve finding specific key items. Some key items might also be related to side quests or unlocking optional content. While you don't need to manage them like consumables, understanding their purpose is vital for navigating the labyrinths and progressing through the narrative. The game will usually provide hints on where to find the next key item if you're stuck.
