How to Get the Boat Key in Resident Evil Village

Some of the best secrets in Resident Evil Village are purposely hidden, either in plain sight or through a series of obscure and seemingly unrelated events. But, if you want to get your hands on the best treasures and items in Resident Evil Village, you'll have to be willing to jump through some proverbial hoops.

The Boat Key in Resident Village is a good example of an item that will open up a lot of possibilities for you.

Unfortunately, getting your hands on the Boat Key is not easy. Just as with the other secret items in Resident Evil Village, this literal key item can only be acquired during a certain time at a specific place.

Here's how you can get your hands on the Boat Key in Resident Evil Village.

Riding boats in Resident Evil Village is only available until you've reached the midway point of the game. By this time, you'll have finished dealing with Lady Dimitrescu and Donna Beneviento, which means that you'll be heading over to Salvatore Moreau next, which is also when you'll have access to the Boat Key area.

Before that though, you'll have to trigger the encounter with the game's third Lord. Thankfully, this is not missable.
