Finding this key allows you to open a door that leads to a few special — if underwhelming — rewards in Avowed. Read the guide below🅷 to see exactly where to find and use the Ornate Pargrun Key.

Ornate Pargrun Key location in Avowed

For starters, let’s find out where the Ornate Pargrun Key is located so you can head directly to the door it unlocks once you add it to your inventory.

The Ornate Pargrun Key is located in the Shark’s Teeth region of Shatterscarp. This is found in the far northeastern part of the map and you can head there at any time after entering the map in Avowed. However, there are strong enemies here, so you want to ensure you have strong enough equipment and you’re at a decent level before going there. If not, you might get wiped off the map before you’re even able to find the key.

In Shark’s Teeth, you’re looking for the smaller Pargrun Cache area, which is located to the southeast of the “Shark’s Teeth” text on your map. The Pargrun Cache can be entered in a couple of different ways, but the easiest is by getting up high on the ruins around you and jumping down into the cache. The Pargrun Cache has several different floors, so you’re in for a task if you want to fully explore the area.

For the Ornate Pargrun Key specifically, though, you need to find the room with the four levers. Thi🎐s is accessed after destroying a gate with a freeze spell or an Eye of Rymrgand grenade.

The four-levers room is opened by turning a wheel on the wall in the first main room of the Pargrun Cache. After this, you can access the levers room on the second level and read a note on the desk to see how to orient the levers. All you need to do with the levers is interact with the far left and the far right levers, pushing them up. The levers 🅺in the middle need to stay down.

After you orient the levers correctly, a door ne🍸xt to you in the same room will open to reveal a purple chest. H♎owever, you can also push a button on the gold-plated square on the wall in the room that reveals another secret area. This has the Ornate Pargrun Key sitting on a desk next to a gold lockbox.

Pick up the key and then head out the way you came to use the Ornate Pargrun Key at a specific location, also in the Shark’s Teeth region.

Using the Ornate Pargrun Key in Avowed

The Ornate Pargrun Key opens a door located to the northeast of the Pargrun Cache in the Shark’s Teeth region. Specifically, you want to head to just above “S” in the “Shark’s Teeth” text on your map. Here, you’ll find a door that you can open with the Ornate Pargrun Key. You can’t force the door open with a lockpick either, so you have to use the key. The door is on the ground level, so there’s no climbing involved.

Inside the locked room is a dead skeleton with some loot on it. There’s some gold scelling along with plenty of additional crafting materials for you to take. Unfortunately, that’s all that you get for using the Ornate Pargrun Key. There’s no additional loot anywhere else in the room and that’s the only door the key opens in Avowed.

It might not b💮e the haul you were expecting, but you likely wound up with more loot by exploring the Pargrun Cache to actually find Ornate Pargrun Key, so it all works out in the end.
