This guide shows all Elden Ring Stonesword Key Locations. The stonesword keys are used to break imp statue seals blocking the path. You will frequently encounter white walls of mist that block the path. These have an imp statue where you can use a stonesword key to make the white wall of mist go away. Powerful and rare items are often hidden in these areas. If you want to fully explore all areas of the map, the stonesword keys are mandatory to open up all side areas.
If you are missing a site of grace or other area referenced below, refer to Elden Ring All Sites of Grace Locations.
