How to get Mystic Keys in Throne and Liberty

You can buy Mystic Keys through the Contract Coin Merchant. This feature unlocks during Chapter 3 of the main campaign, giving you access to Resistance Contracts. Complete these tasks to earn Contract Coins, the currency used for the Mystic Keys.

One of the first Contract Coin Merchants and Contract Managers can be found in the starter village, Kastleton. Speak to the Contract Manager to browse the tasks and select one to begin the mission. You may also encounter these merchants in other areas, including Starlight Observatory Ruins and Vienta Village. The early objectives will be pretty easy to do, such as defeating a Goblin Fighter or collecting Urstella Tokens from a Goblin Butcher. In their description, you’ll generally see the Contract Coins as a reward and other valuables.

Throne and Liberty’s Resistance Contracts will likely get more challenging as you progress through the levels, so make sure to visit the nearby armory merchants for better gear. Once you’ve completed a mission, exchange your Contract Coins for the Mystic Key. Each key costs 15 Contract Coins, with a daily limit of five. Use them wisely, and check back with the merchant to gain more rewards from your completed objectives.

How to use Mystic Keys in Throne and Liberty

The Mystic Key can open Mystic Globes in Throne and Liberty. Simply walk around the map with the key in hand, and you should discover one soon after. They’ll be marked with their distinct globe symbol on the mini-map. To narrow down your search, you can search around these areas at Kastleton.

Look for a red floating orb, typically on top of an elevated location. Use your grapple to get up those hard-to-reach destinations. Interact with the Mystic Globe to use the Mystic Key. You’ll then claim a randomized prize for your efforts, which could be anything from a Trait Conversion Stone to 100 Abyssal Contract Token Points. The Abyssal Contract Tokens function similarly to the Contract Coin Merchant, but this time it’s used for the open-world dungeons.

You’ll discover more Mystic Globe locations throughout your adventures, offering additional rewards such as these items. With enough globe discoveries, you may trigger the ultimate prize, the Mystic Portals. The Mystic Portals provide other high-value items to make your journey more accessible. They’ll mainly appear after unlocking a specific amount of Mystic Globes, spawning a storm nearby. It’ll only stick around for an hour, so you must be quick about it.

Although the Mystic Portals are much more limited than Globes, your chances of discovering them can be heightened with enough Mystic Keys.
