Quick Links
As you venture through the Regalith Grand Cathedral dungeon inMetaphor: ReFantazio, you’ll stumble upon a locked chest atop a short staircase in the Servants' Chambers. While most haven’t required much work to open before this point, you’ll need to find two keys throughout the church to get your hands on the chest’s contents. This starts with following the soldiers who run off when you first enter the area.
The Cathedral is home to various enemies to take down during your investigation, namely stray Morneto variants. It doesn’t take much to beat these undead foes, but it’s a good idea to heal up andcure common status ailments, as a much stronger Homo Oppo enemy lies just around the corner. Their defeat will lead you to the keys you need to move forward.
How To Get The Guest Room Key
Speak With The Dying Monk
The first step in opening the strange chest is locating theGuest Room Key. This won’t take you too far from the room in which you first found the chest; head east from there and follow the corridor. You’ll see an entryway blocked off with mounds of rubble down the hall and aHomo Oppoenemy wandering just beyond this point. Take it down with Hulkenberg’s Perfect Punch and powerfulArchetypes inMetaphor: ReFantazioto get it out of the way.

In a room on the right-hand side of the hallway, you’ll find a gravely wounded monk by the wall. Speak with theDying Monk, and he’ll inform you that the soldier who stabbed him passed away nearby. To find him,smash the barrelsbetween the two bookshelves to reveal a crawlspace, then head through to the next room.

You’ll find the soldier on the floor straight ahead in the next room. Gallica notes that he has a key hanging around his waist when you interact with him. This is theGuest Room Keyyou need. Hulkenberg will suggest that it could be used to enter asmall room, which leads to your next step.
How To Get The Treasure Chest Key
Listen To The Pale Monk
As you might have guessed, your next destination is theGuest Room. This will take you back through the previous room, and you’ll need to head south from there. When you reach a fork in the path, head down the staircase. This area is quite literally crawling with weak Hundo enemies, so be prepared to take them out as you push ahead.
A short cutscene will play, leading you toa room with smoke billowing from beneath the door. Make your way there and use theGuest Room Keyto enter. There will be a horde of Morneto enemies waiting inside, so be sure to heal up before rushing in. You should be able to take them out quickly with a multi-target attack.
Most Morneto enemies are weak toFire and/or Light. Prioritize these attacks for an easy win.
Once the horde is defeated, talk to thePale Monkstraight ahead. With his last breath, he’ll mention the locked chest near the dungeon’s entrance and request that you take what’s inside before it falls into the wrong hands. Strohl will point out that he’s holding something, and you’ll obtain theTreasure Chest Key. All that’s left to do is claim the treasure.
