With the release of Krampus, and of Wooden, Stone, and Gold keys, let Skeleton Key gatherers unite! I am creating this post so that everyone can tell everyone else what drops skeleton keys. I will start by saying what I have discovered so far.

Hykssoss in the Palace of Hyssarik drops Obsidian Keys.

Sinister Dexter in Illios drops Stone Keys.

Cadmus in Illios drops Stone Keys

Axwar in Achaea drops Stone and Obsidian Keys.

I'm certain there are far, far more bosses that drop keys, so I will try to find more sources. Anyone with interest can do the same. Skeleton Key Hunters Unite!

Any low level fight ( mobs or bosses ) will drop wooden keys. My lowest level pirate got her first one from Archer in the Ancient Tunnels, but now she's in Cool Ranch and is getting the wooden key in almost every fight.
My max level is in Valencia2 and is getting keys from the Gingerbread Raiders in the skyway ( gold keys ).

I was just questing on my Buccaneer, and although her Backpack was full, two enemies from the Cavern of Whispers (The Iron Hand, and another one I don't remember) dropped Keys. I believe The Iron Fist dropped a Wooden Key and it's possible that a different set of Ninja Pigs dropped one Gold Key. (I didn't receive it, since my Backpack was full, haha.)

Crokogators in Marleybone are once again an ample source of keys, this time being the Stone variant.

I've been battling Banditoads in Tumbleweed Skyway for the Strongboxes while playing Dante and have received several wooden/stone keys.

Not much more from me yet, but I have found that Lulz in Lastrygon drops Stone Keys.

I'll be moving from Aquila to other worlds for more discoveries soon.

Never mind, I have made a HUGE discovery! Possible the best source of Gold keys yet!

Fight the Vandallo Guards in Florenza! I fought them twice, and they dropped a key both times! They are, in my opinion, a far better source of Gold keys than Kane! Just don't use melee fighters, and you'll be fine.

(Additional discovery: Lucci Guardsmen in Lucci Villa drop Stone Keys.)

Do the machine leading up to Kane. They are reasonably generous and hey, who doesn't like to beat on Kane a bit?

Wow, who had the nerve to try them, to see if they had a drop? I applaud that pirate!

Honestly, the Bone Drake are not tough at high level. That must be fixed! I'll try them again when they're fixed.

(The Ninja Pigs in the Banquet Hall on Hamamitsu Drop Stone Keys.)

No, I know that they're not difficult for a high level to fight, I just meant why would anyone do it, since it's well-know that they have no drops!

(To clarify, Squinty is the best source of Wood keys I have yet discovered. Not only does he drop them, his Crawlie minions do, too! I got two Keys in one fight!)

You mean the Ettins? They are already confirmed as a source of Obsidian Keys. Was that the one you got?

I farmed Squinty in Solitude, Tumbleweed Skyway, Cool Ranch. I farmed him 50 times and was able to rake in 41,327 gold coins, as well as 9 STONE keys and 14 WOOD keys.

Merry Yuletide!

Amazing! Squinty really is the best source of Wood Keys, and Stone Keys too apparently. Glad to see my discovery is being productive!

Strangely, I've received a stone key from Captain Hande in Devilfish Hollow.
Post Edit: he's dropping gold keys, too.

Santa Rana in Castillo Sapo was a good place to farm Wooden Keys for me (three wooden keys in one run). However, Santa Rana in Santo Pollo didn't provide a single wooden key for me in 15 runs.

While Squinty might be a better place to farm solely wooden/stone keys, the good thing about Castillo Sapo is that you get unique Santa Rana gear for wear or to sell for gold farming while your key farming.
