Single-use magic keys are replaced with the now-standard three-key system, in keeping with other changes aimed at consistency across titles, such as [[mini medals]] and battles against multiple monsters. The magic key is given to the Hero by the [[Warlock of Doorlocks]] in [[Rimuldar]] after the Dwarven Smith is cured of his terminally illness. The both of them will work to forge the key. As a nod to the original versions of the game, the Warlock will mention that he sells single-use magic keys to patrons. This game introduces locked chests that can only be opened with particular keys, and blue-colored chests are locked until the magic key is acquired.

The magic key replaces the old [[golden key]] and is given to the Scions of Erdrick by the [[Queen of the Mermaids]] following the liberation of the [[Mermaid's Sanctuary]]. Like the previous game, certain chests are locked and require the magic key to open them. Humorously, this magic key came into the possession of the Queen when a descendant of the [[Warlock of Doorlocks]] was flaunting it while travelling at sea and dropped it into the drink.

The Magic Key is located on the 3rd basement of the [[Pyramid]]. It is the 2nd key acquired in the game. The key is required in order to reach [[Portoga]] and progress in the game. In order to get the key, the hero's party must solve a button puzzle which involves pressing 4 buttons in the correct order. The solution is hinted by young boys in the castle of [[Isis]].  As of this game, Magic Key's have unlimited use.

It's revealed at the end that an old man wants to mass produce magic keys of his own, explaining why they were flimsy and broke upon use in the first game.

The Magic Key is found in the Nhou Wat ruins connected to [[Phnom Nonh]]. It is in possession of [[Dora-in-Grey]] in the Nhou Wat mural, and she drops the key when she is defeated. The Magic Key is needed to obtain the [[Purple Orb]] in the ruins of [[Zwaardsrust]]. It is also a prerequisite for obtaining the [[Blue Orb]] in [[Sniflheim]], as the city gates are blocked by ice and the only available doorway requires the Magic Key. In his [[Party Chat]] dialogue after the Magic Key is acquired, [[Rab]] mentions both of these doors, which is helpful for first-time players.
