Ys 1---where do I find keys

[hgtedo]

Hey all, I am playing Ys I in Japanese on a V501SH cell phone by SHARP. I am doing really well. I have the reflex armor, I have the large shield, I have the talwoll sword. I am Lv. 10 (Str. 225 DEF 205, and HP 255).

With all that said I have in my inventory Crystal, prison key, temple key, ruby, Mask of Eyes, mirror, wings, and heal potion.

I have freed Feea (blue haired girl) and talked to everyone in both the village and back in menea as much as possible. I also used the mask of eyes and found the hidden door. Now the thing is I can't open any of the chests. Many of them say I need a key, keys I can't find. I also can destroy all the monsters in the cave but I can't find the keys for those chests either. Also when I used the mask of eyes to find the hidden door way I went and found a door that looks as if it leads to a boss, however, it said I need a key... one of which I don't have.

I really don't know what to do or where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also I have been looking around the net and saw the English screne shots of Ys I. However, my Japanese version looks similar but the graphics look better. If I am able to find out how I will take screen shots for you all. Of if I can't I will just get my camera and take them that way.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me on finding keys.

The key is in the shrine. Look around and remember that you can walk into the yellow statues.

The treasure box key might be in Feena's cell.

Thanks for your reply. I have been walking into the yellow statues, which has helped me find ways to get other places. I just don't know what I need to look for when looking for the key. Would it be in a treasure box? or will it just be on the floor. Sorry that I am a little slow at picking this kinda stuff up.

....Now that I think about it was Feena supposed to follow me around? Because After I found her she left. I think I made a mistake and might have to do everything again ;_;

If its the same as the PC Version maps the treasure box key should be on lvl below feena along with the silver bell. Once you get the treasure box key you will pick up two more keys(marble and Ivory) that will allow you to get to the boss. Also dont forget to pick up the silver shield and the shield ring on the 1st floor. After your done in the shrine dont forget to give the silver bell to the elder of Zeptic

PS yes the treasure box key is in a chest that will be open already. Also when you first get feena take her back to zeptic

Note: the silver shield is not on the first floor (it is in the shrine depths, though). The two items on the first floor are the armor ring and the ruby. The ruby can be obtained without the treasure box key.

Sorry I made it sound that way but ya the Silver shield is down deeper just ment the ring(on 1st floor)

I found out the key for the chests is in the same exact place as the key for the cell. Meaning when you open the chest for the cell key, you have to go back to that same chest when it is open to find the chest key. Glad I found it! Thanks to everyone for all your help
