— Game Description | ||
The Red Key is a key found in the Red Area in the game Ib. It opens the central library of the Red Area.
In the first large room of the Red Area (where the sculptures Uh and Ah stand), Ib can find the Red Key protected by The Lady in Red in the upper-right corner. She must examine The Lady in Red and walk away to trigger her breaking out of her painting crawling after Ib. The key will drop as a result, so Ib must avoid the painting lady and retrieve it. She can then open the red door in the center, to the area's library.
In the moving storybook, Carrie Careless, Carrie will unknowingly swallow a Red Key that was added inside the cake by mistake. Her friend will cut the key out with a knife and use it to open the next door for Ib.
Trivia
- This is the first key protected by a painting lady.
- Shortly after the Red Key is used, Ib will collect the Small Key from Garry. The Small Key is also red in color.
