The Master Key is one of the best (and rarest) items players can find in The Outlast Trials. For players trying to earn an A+ rating, or want a powerful item to help them throughout the trials, it’s definitely worth searching for the Master Key.
What is the Master Key in The Outlast Trials
In The Outlast Trials, there are various toolboxes and first aid boxes located around the map that are locked. Typically, players need a one-time-use lockpick to open them up and access the useful consumables within.
The master key is essentially a reusable lockpick and can be repeatedly used to open locked toolboxes and first aid boxes. The master key also circumvents the lockpick mini-game, meaning that there’s no chance to mess up your skill checks.
How to Find the Master Key in The Outlast Trials
Like many of the best items in the game, the only place to (currently) find the master key is within the secret room, often referred to as the Confidential room or the Gift room.
The secret room is a locked room that randomly spawns in the trial, and is easily denoted by the words “confidential” on the door. To open the secret room, players need to locate two blue buttons that are within the nearby vicinity and press them in rapid succession. After pressing the two buttons, the secret room should open and players can find a bunch of goodies inside.
The items within the secret room are random, meaning that you may find the secret room but the Master Key won’t be there. In this case, don’t worry as the room will contain a bunch of other items that will definitely help you for the rest of the trial.
