The Mortal Shell 2 Chapel key is required to unlock the large wooden doors in the Hunter's area of the region. Not only is there a locked door, but you'll find a locked cage here, too, the key for which is found entirely separately to the Chapel key.
Once you get inside, you'll find the Shrine of Trials, and there's a special item waiting for you if you can pass them all, so it's definitely worth finding the Chapel Key in Mortal Shell 2. Here's where to look and how to get it.
Where to find the Mortal Shell 2 Chapel key
The Mortal Shell 2 Chapel key - previously called the Mushroom Village key - is located near the large bonfire surrounded by witches. To find it, head right from the Mushroom Village Beacon, then right again over the rope bridge.
To actually get the key, first defeat all the witches (just to make things easier), then head to the small arch to the right of where you entered the area. Walk through the arch from the other side and the area changes, revealing a large statue that wasn't visible before. She is holding the key.
That's it! What's really cool is that you can decide whether you want the statue to remain by walking back through the arch or not. This mind-boggling mechanic can also be found in some of the nearby dungeons, too, so at least now you know how it works.
Using the Chapel key grants you access to the Shrine of Trials, where you can find the best early-game weapons, the dagger and axe, but unfortunately no Mortal Shell 2 Tarstones.
Getting the Mushroom Village Cage key is much easier, as this can be purchased from the nearby trader. Use it to unlock the cage and free the creature inside, but be sure to buy anything else you want from the trader before leaving the area, as he won't be there when you get back - and that's all I'll say on that.
While you're in the area, why not head to Hilga's homestead where you'll meet the frog-obsessed lady and progress the Mortal Shell 2 Gorf quest.
