Keys in Scott Pilgrim EX are hidden in breakable objects across several areas. The best-documented routes are the Movie Studio Golden Key to Seventh Eleven, the school Golden Key to the dojo, and the VPD HQ key for two event doors. Available guides do not establish a complete key-to-door chart, so the locations and confirmed uses below distinguish exact reported pairings from locks whose matching key is unclear.
Key locations and reported uses
Break the listed object to look for a key. Unless a specific destination is named in the pairing column, the sources do not confirm which particular lock that key opens.

How to use the best-documented keys
Movie Studio Golden Key: Seventh Eleven
- At the Movie Studio film set, break the wooden table at the far left and collect the Golden Key.
- Go to the Shopping Area and find the locked door beside the High Park entrance.
- Use the key on that door to access Seventh Eleven, as described by Games.gg.
PowerPyx separately describes a key door in the Shopping District for a gambling minigame event. Because the sources do not clarify whether it is the Seventh Eleven door, treat the destination named by each guide as distinct unless the in-game prompt confirms otherwise. PowerPyx.
School Golden Key: dojo
Games.gg reports that the Golden Key found in a school trash can near the stairs opens the central door downstairs to the Dojo. The community compilation places a key in Kim Pine’s memories on the third floor, in the leftmost trash can in front of the stairs to the second floor. These details are consistent, but the guides do not independently document a complete set of school key-door matches. Games.gg; Reddit community compilation.

VPD HQ key: Events 17 and 18
PowerPyx describes collecting a key from an item on the right side of VPD HQ, entering a nearby door, then using the key on the left and right doors to start Events 17 and 18. Completing both events unlocks the Vegan Police assist. The community compilation identifies two stacked brown boxes at the far right as a key source, while a Steam guide also notes two event-starting doors at the end of VPD. PowerPyx; Steam Community guide.
Other locked doors reported in guides
- High Park: PowerPyx says a key opens the locked gate; talk to the man inside to start Event 11. The community compilation also mentions a locked grey door at the High Park playground-castle, but does not establish whether it is that gate. PowerPyx; Reddit community compilation.
- School: PowerPyx identifies a key door at Benvie Tech 2F that leads to a man in the dojo for Event 10. This is not enough to confirm that it is the same door as the central dojo entrance described by Games.gg. PowerPyx; Games.gg.
- Medieval Fort: A Steam guide lists a locked door required for story progress, but the accessible guide text does not identify its key location or show a complete pairing. Steam Community guide.
- Other community-reported locks: The Reddit compilation mentions a red door to the right of No Account Video, said to be required for a Centurion assist, and a school second-floor door. It does not match these to specific listed keys. Reddit community compilation.
If a key or event does not appear
- For the Casa Vania graveyard tombstone, first progress until Julie asks you to get her a key; the community compilation gives that as the trigger. Reddit community compilation.
- Some events become available only after story progress. PowerPyx also notes that certain event characters spawn randomly, so revisit the area if the character is absent. PowerPyx.
- If you break a listed object and do not see a key, check the relevant quest or story progress before assuming the location is wrong.
- When approaching an uncertain lock, use the in-game prompt to confirm whether the key you are carrying works there; guides do not document every pairing.
Why there is no definitive key-to-door chart
The guides use overlapping area names and report different kinds of information: some identify a breakable object, some name a destination, and some list a locked door or event without tying it to a specific key. The Steam guide’s text also does not expose all of its image-based location details. That means a complete one-to-one list—and a reliable total key count—cannot be established from these reports. Steam Community guide; PowerPyx; Reddit community compilation.
