Tracking down keys and opening doors in No Rest for the Wicked is a more challenging task in the game. Several locked doors are blocking your path, and as you progress through the main story, you might be on the hunt for the Water Channel key.
It’s a key you must find during the Black Trench quest and allows you to progress further in the story. The problem with finding the Water Channel key is that it can take time in No Rest for the Wicked, and you might also find the key before tracking down the door. Thankfully, we’ve been able to see both to make your life much easier.
Where to find the Water Channel key in No Rest for the Wicked
The Water Channel key you’re looking for appears in The Black Trench Dungeon and drops from an elite enemy you encounter in this location. This is a section of a quest you can complete for Of Rats and Raiders in No Rest for the Wicked.
You must defeat the elite enemy for the Water Channel key to drop, and then you can progress through the rest of the dungeon. The Black Trench area unlocks as you progress through the story and requires you to defeat Darak in the Orban Glades and help Rattigan escape from his cell in Sacrament to reach the sewers. You might want to review your stats before undergoing these difficult tasks.
For many No Rest for the Wicked players, this key could be bugged. Several players have reported they reached this point, and there’s no elite enemy for them to fight. However, there’s a temporary fix.
Early access hotfix number two, which was released on April 20, addressed the bug with a temporary solution. The Water Channel key has been moved to a chest in the Black Trench while the developers investigate why the elite enemy isn’t spawning for some players.
After you get the key, the door is not too far away from where you fought this foe, and then you progress to the rest of The Black Trench dungeon in No Rest for the Wicked.
