The Palia Keyed In quest delivers one of the game’s most suspenseful hidden mysteries, transforming a routine gardening session into a race against time to defuse what turns out to be an explosive magical device.
Here is another day of gardening and tilling leads players to uncover a mysterious object that may go “Kablooey” in the Keyed In quest for Palia. This Found Item Quest initiates unexpectedly when you are busy with your normal gardening activities on your housing plot. All of a sudden, you found something strange and are not sure what it is, so you are heading to the community and ask villagers if they know anything about it.
This specific quest is quite similar to many of the other discovery quests in Palia, such as A Century in the Making and It Must Flow. If you have solved these quests before, then completing this quest won’t be a problem at all. With that being said, let’s jump in!!
How to Complete Palia Keyed in Quest
Discovering the Pulsing Key
You can find the Pulsing Key while gardening in Palia to begin the Keyed In quest, a key step in avoiding an explosive end. The discovery happens during routine gardening activities on your personal plot.
Finding the Pulsing Key: All you have to do to find it is use your Hoe on your Housing Plot. Sooner or later, you will unearth the Pulsing Key. The key appears as a random drop whilst tilling soil, similar to other buried treasures you might discover during farming.
Consulting Jina About the Mysterious Key
As with all other Kilima Village mystery items, you need to take this one to Jina. She serves as the village’s primary expert on ancient artifacts and mysterious objects.
Locating Jina:
- Check Mirror Pond Ruins, where she frequently conducts research
- Look around the library during certain times
- Ask other villagers if you can’t find her immediately
Jina’s alarming revelation: Jina will tell you that the Pulsing Key isn’t actually a key, but a Flow bomb called the Unstable Unlocker. This shocking discovery transforms what seemed like a simple mystery into an urgent crisis.
The explosive truth: The “key” is actually a dangerous magical device that could explode, making its safe defusal a priority for both your safety and the village’s well-being.
Learning About Your Plot’s Previous Owner
To disarm it, you’ll need to learn more about who previously lived on your land. Jina explains that the bomb’s defusal requires specific knowledge about Florian, the eccentric inventor who once occupied your housing plot.
You can spend your time talking to all the residents of Kilima Village, but the three you want to speak to are Elouisa, Eshe, and Ashura. These NPCs hold crucial information about Florian and his mysterious past.
The crucial information needed to defuse the bomb involves learning the name of Florian’s pet Palcat. This seemingly trivial detail holds the magical key to safely disarming the Unstable Unlocker.
Through your conversations with the above specific village elders, you’ll discover that Florian’s pet was named One-Eyed Sheremy – a distinctive name that reflects the cat’s unique appearance.
Defusing the Flow Bomb
Speak to Jina again, and she’ll tell you that to defuse the key’s magic, you’ll need the name of Florentine’s pet. Return to Jina with the information you’ve gathered about Florian’s beloved Palcat.
Tell her that Florentine’s Palcat name was One-Eyed Sheremy, and the key will be safely defused. Jina uses this information to perform the magical defusal ritual, eliminating the explosive threat.
She’ll thank you and decide to keep the key permanently, so it doesn’t cause any future problems. The dangerous device is safely neutralized and removed from circulation.
