Our guide will first list the 50 silver keys, followed by the four gold keys. Keys are imperative for discovering some of the most valuable treasure in Fable 3, as they unlock various Silver Key Chests and Gold Doors. Tracking down all the keys also earns you the I Am The Keymaster achievement.

Brightwall Village - There is a house on the village outskirts called Spurious Nuttock. Nearby is a small reddish bridge; the silver key is underneath.
Brightwall Village - Behind the building called the House of Cluck.
Brightwall Village - Facing the library entrance, go to the left of the building to find some trees and boulders. The key is behind the boulders.
Reliquary - After the room with the moving platforms, you’ll dive into a body of water and make your way to a room with a skeleton and a note. There are torches here that need to be lit using the Fireball spell. Light them all and a hidden door opens revealing a key.
Reliquary - This key requires some explanation. From the location of the previous key, you’ll make your way up to a branching path. One of the paths has a treasure chest; take that path and proceed past the chest, up an incline and onto a platform above the room with the floating platforms. There is a switch here, so pull it to prompt a staircase to rise on the opposite side of the room. Ascend the stairs to find a room with a couple tombs and the key.
Dweller Camp - This silver key can only be obtained after you’ve reached an agreement with the Dwellers in the main storyline. Once you have you can enter Sabine’s private community and the key is behind the Caravan of Poom.

Fable 3 Keys - Mistpeak Valley, The Hole and Chillbreath Caverns

Chillbreath Caverns - Chillbreath Caverns has multiple entry points. To find the one we want for the key, start at the Mistpeak Valley Demon Door.

Driftwood - On a smaller island connected to the large island via a bridge. On top of the smaller island is an encampment; the key is on a ledge off the side of the camp.
City of Aurora - In a nook just to the right of the Shifting Sands exit.
City of Aurora - Right near the large shrine is a rocky trail that leads to a bridge with a chest on the other end. Instead of crossing the bridge, hop down to the roof below. Keep jumping across the rooftops until you reach the silver key.

Fable III Keys - Shifting Sands, Sandfall Palace, The Veiled Path and The Enigma

**

Shifting Sands** - From the Aurora entrance, venture into the desert towards the massive stone arch that separates the two halves of Shifting Sands. Just before passing under the arch, veer to the right to find the first key in an alcove.

Fable III Keys - Gold Keys

Mistpeak Valley - Enter Chillbreath Caverns using the brown, unfrozen cave entrance uphill from the monorail station. Once inside, keep following the route upwards, passing by a Silver Key Chest and a rare book along the way. Just keep plodding onward until you come to an exit leading out to a snowy terrace. Head outside and you’ll find the first gold key.
Driftwood - This gold key is only obtainable after fully restoring Driftwood during a series of side quests. Completing the quests will open a bridge to a previously inaccessible island. On that island is a Flit Switch that you will need to chase and hit as it lures you across the island. Follow it all the way to a warp that will take you to the key.
Shifting Sands - The first thing you will need to do is complete the “A Key to a Greater Key” quest in City of Aurora. Essentially, all you do is purchase a key for 4,000 gold. This quest is only available after completion of the main storyline. Take the key out into the Shifting Sands, into the desert beyond the massive stone arch. Move straight forward until you near structures; this is your cue to veer left and find a locked door to the Crossroads of Passing. Your new key of course will unlock it. The next room has two panels to step on to open up the Gold Key chamber. Use the moving platforms to cross the open space, occasionally combating an enemy.
The Enigma - In the room with the colored floor panels, where you previously found a silver key, there is a locked door hiding the last gold key. To open it, you must press the panels in the following order: yellow, blue, yellow, red, blue, red, blue and red.

Congratulations are in order for securing all 54 keys and unlocking the I Am The Keymaster achievement.
