Uncover the Hidden Key to Kay's Apartment in Starfield

Discovering fascinating regions and getting diverted is a fundamental aspect of Starfield. It is a deliberate component of the gameplay and holds equal significance to advancing through the main storyline. The game's universe is brimming with unexpected delights, and players' excitement for the unearthing of these discoveries is of utmost importance.

In Starfield, numerous doors are securely locked, necessitating players to locate their respective keys for access. This guide will assist players in locating Kay's Apartment Key, enabling them to unlock the door within her residence.

Kay's Apartment

When exploring The Well in New Atlantis, players may discover Kay's House. This charming eatery is a beloved spot among the residents of The Well and can be stumbled upon during missions like The Kindness of Strangers or through word of mouth from NPCs. Unlike Jake's, it offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Gamers can expect a warm reception upon entering Kay's House.

For those curious enough, there is an opportunity to explore further by ascending the stairs next to the restaurant's kitchen and entering Kay's apartment. Inside, players will not only find the coveted recipe for Kay's famous Shepherd's Pie, but also encounter a sizable locked door.

How to Get Kay's Apartment Key

Upon players' initial attempt to unlock the locked door inside Kay's apartment, a prompt will display on the upper right corner of the screen, informing them that the door can only be opened using Kay's apartment key. However, the key is not located within the apartment itself; rather, it is in the possession of Kay Mason.

To gain access to Kay's apartment, gamers will need to obtain the key by means of theft. This requires them to unlock the Theft Skill in the Social Skill Tree, granting them the capability to discreetly pickpocket targets within the immersive world of Starfield.

To successfully pickpocket Kay Mason, players must quietly approach her from behind while in a crouched position. Once they are within close proximity, they can discreetly press the Pickpocket option to gain access to her pockets. It is crucial for gamers to carefully choose Kay's Apartment Key from her belongings and proceed with the Steal option.

Remaining unseen is crucial when attempting to pickpocket in Starfield. If the player is detected, their chances of successfully pickpocketing without getting caught will greatly diminish. Stealing is against the law in Starfield, and being caught will result in an increased bounty with the United Colonies, potentially alerting security immediately.

After obtaining Kay's Apartment Key, gamers can unlock and utilize the upstairs door, granting them direct entry to the restaurant's second level.

Starfield is now available on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
