Appearances

Dragon Quest

Magic Keys can be bought at Rimuldar for 53 G. They unlock doors that can't normally be opened but disappear after one use. If you exit the place and come back, the doors will come back, but the treasure will also come back.

Dragon Quest III

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 the Magic Keys in the first game were flimsy, and thus broke upon use.

Dragon Quest IV

The Magic Key is found in the Cave West of Aubout du Monde during Chapter 5, and must be obtained in order to open the warded doors at Palais de Leon. The Magic Key unlocks red doors.

During Chapter 4, the doors requiring the key will open with Oojam present (in the NES Version, he breaks the door down, while he merely picks the lock in the DS Version).

The Magic Key is found in a chest in a warehouse at Lofty Peak, along with the Flying Carpet.
