Keys

Keys are important items that can be found in Dishonored and its DLC: Dunwall City Trials, The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches. They can unlock doors, gates, safes, chests, and any other miscellaneous items that are able to be locked. Once a key is collected by either Corvo or Daud, it will be added to their respective key rings. Sometimes, it is possible that a key may be intended for use in a mission other than the one in which it was found.
