Part 3 – First Tarnstead Key Location
To obtain the first key, follow the red arrows shown in the reference images — starting from Picture Mark 1 and continuing to Picture Mark 2.
Exercise caution while traveling through Tarnstead. The Dark slayers and Dark Hunters in this area inflict extremely high damage and can overwhelm unprepared players.

Once you reach the final arrow marker, climb up the nearby hill and interact with the dead tree to obtain the first key.

After obtaining the first key, descend the hill and follow the red arrows shown in the first image, heading east toward the locked door. Use the key you collected earlier to unlock it and proceed inside.
Climb two levels up using the ladders until you reach the area shown in Picture 2. From there, open the western door and descend the next ladder.
Continue following the red line in the images until you reach the marked zone. Go down the final ladder to enter the lower chamber.
You will now find yourself at the location of the second key. Interact with the dead tree to obtain it and continue your progress through the Tarnstead access route.
Part 5 – Third Tarnstead Key Location
After obtaining the second key, climb back up the ladder and head west toward the next locked door. Use your newly acquired key to unlock it and enter the area.
Once inside, ascend three floors using the ladders until you reach the location shown in Picture 2. At the top level, interact with the bookcase to reveal and collect the third key.
With this key secured, you can proceed to the next stage of the Tarnstead access route.
Part 6 – Final Tarnstead Key Location
For the final key, follow the reference images provided below. Ascend through the upper floors as indicated until you reach the final chamber.
At the top, interact with the chest to obtain the last key.
