Graveyard Keeper 2: How to Get and Use Looter Keys

I stood at the sewer gate with my inventory light and my patience thinner than a graveyard shroud. You feel the crowd’s breath before the first hit, and that instant tells you whether you’re buying access or walking away empty-handed. I will walk you through the fights, the shortcuts, and the one-off shop that changes the math.

Keys for Looters are a special currency in Graveyard Keeper 2—not a random drop on the map, but a reward you earn. Think of those Looter Keys as a backstage pass to the Port Club’s private shelves.

Crowds gather around fights; How to get Looter Keys in Graveyard Keeper 2

It’s common to see street brawls draw attention in many games; they’re short, brutal, and leave something behind. In this case, you don’t scavenge keys from chests or corpses: you win them in combat.

Where to start

  • Travel to Central Town and find the sewer entrance near the southern row.
  • Speak with the NPC squad at the entrance to trigger Sewer Brawl I.
  • Defeat every enemy in the encounter to claim the reward—Sewer Brawl I pays out three Looter Keys.

Repeat opportunities

  • Sewer Brawl II and the Final Battle also hand out keys when you clear them.
  • If you play the Sewerana event, you get guaranteed Keys for Looters as part of the rewards.

Buying keys

Upgrade the Jeweler shop to Tier II and you’ll find a vendor who sells keys one at a time: one key costs 1 Silver (≈€1).

How do I get Looter Keys in Graveyard Keeper 2?

Short answer: win fights or buy one-off keys from the Tier II Jeweler. For a practical route, prioritize the Sewer Brawl series early, and save for the Jeweler if you need a single key to finish a Port Club order.

Dockside deals are guarded; How to use Looter Keys in Graveyard Keeper 2

Most coastal towns hide a vendor or two behind a curtain—docks are no different. The Port Club is the one place your keys actually spend their value.

Where to bring your keys

  • The Port Club sits on the southeastern docks. Enter and find Davy the Dagger inside.
  • Davy only accepts orders after you complete the Wharf Rats questline; finish that to see the purchase menu.

Order sizes and costs

  • Small orders cost fewer keys; the largest order tops out at four keys.
  • Item pools vary by order size, so balance risk and reward—sometimes a big purchase gives rare loot worth the spend.

Strategy tip: the Sewer Brawl is a pressure cooker of elbows and timing—if you master the flow, you’ll get keys faster than waiting for the Jeweler’s single-key sale.
