Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

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: Chapters of the Chosen

The Magic Key was created through alchemy by Mahabala, and is found in the Cave West of Aubout du Monde during Chapter 5. It must be obtained in order to open the warded doors at Palais de Leon.

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.

The King of Howcastle presents the Hero and party with a Magic Key after their escort of Prince Howard through the Hallowed Hollow.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

The Magic Key is found in a chest in Trodain Castle.

The Magic Key is found at the Mirage Mahal in Gleeba. It allows access to warded doors.
