Where are the gold keys in fable 3

Gold Keys can be used to open Gold Key Doors. These doors, scattered throughout Albion, each requiring one Gold Key to open. Treasure can be found on the other side. Collecting all Silver and Gold Keys will also land you the I Am The Keymaster Achievement. Any key can be used for any door, so choose wisely! A special fifth Gold Key can be found in the Sanctuary, scroll to the bottom of the page to learn about this super-secret key and its special chest.

The Mistpeak Valley Gold Key

If you examine the map of Mistpeak Valley, you can make out two cave entrances above the Demon Door and one on the far side of the level up in the hills. Travel to the latter cave -- you can get there by running uphill from the lake and hanging a left just before the path to Brightwall Village. You can follow a grassy ridge past a treasure chest to find this cave entrance to Chillbreath Cavern -- it is not an icy entrance, it is a thawed, brownish cave entrance.

Run through this cave and take the path leading upwards. You should pass a 15 Silver Key chest on the way amongst various other Dig Spots and chests. Keep heading uphill and eventually you'll come to an exit at the very top. Once outside again, run down the short hill and you'll find the Gold Key floating amongst some ruins.

The Driftwood Gold Key

Driftwood is an area that you can access after completing the Restoration Side Quest in Millfields (pay 750 Gold to repair the bridge). In Driftwood, complete these Side Quests to help reach the coastal islands: Pest Control and Giftwood for Driftwood.  You must also complete the Side Quest called An Island Getaway in Bowerstone Market.  After this, leave and return to the area after a few in-game days. You MUST wait until the boat appears on the main island and the mine is built around the docks on the same island.

Now you can reach a Flit Switch on an island across the new bridge to the far, far right. It's at the edge of the new gypsy town. Now you can follow the Flit Switch around the area and hit it with you melee and ranged weapons. Climb the mountain in pursuit of the switch. The switch will take you to the leftmost island, up a path and across a new bridge to the top of the central island. A warp zone at the top will take you to the Gold Key.

The Shifting Sands [Aurora] Gold Key

To get this Gold Key, first you need to have access to the Aurora continent. In the city, do the quest "A Key to a Greater Key." This quest became available to me after completing the main game. Talk to the guy who offers the quest near the tatooist and he'll sell you a key for 4,000 Gold. Once you have that key, there won't be a bread crumb trail telling you where to use it.

Go to Shifting Sands and run across the vast dunes. On the far side, turn left and follow the cliff face until you find a little path down by some ruins. At the bottom, use the key given to you and you will unlock an area that contains the Gold Key. Step on the platforms to fight enemies and slowly make your way to the key.

The Veiled Path [Enigma] Gold Key

To get this Gold Key, first you need to have access to the Aurora continent. At the staircase at the far end of The Veiled Path is the entrance to an area called The Enigma. Don't let the small area fool you, there's more to The Enigma -- look for a Flit Switch at the end of the room. It's above the door. Use the Fireball gauntlet (alone) to light the torches in the next area. In the room with the colored floor panels, examine the flames on the wall. These flames reveal the order in which you must step on the panels: YELLOW, BLUE, YELLOW, RED, BLUE, RED, BLUE, RED. The Gold Key is just beyond the door.

The Special Gold Key and Chest

Once you are the Ruler of Albion, enter the treasure room in The Sanctuary (your pause menu) and look up and you should be able to spot a Gold Key. To reach it, you'll need to make some 5,000,000 Gold. The Scrooge McDuck-like pile will lift you to the key. One way to do this is to buy shops early and often to start turning a profit. High-priced shops turn higher profits. You can get a cool million from the Sunset House Demon Door as well. A special chest to match this key lies at the very bottom of your Gold hoard. To reach it once you have the key, transfer ALL of your funds to the Albion Treasury. This will take 5 transactions of 1 million Gold. Now, return to the Sanctuary and open the chest for a Legendary Weapon.

Gold Key Doors

Gold Keys can be used to open Gold Key Doors. These doors, scattered throughout Albion, each require one amount of Gold Key to open. Treasure can be found on the other side.

Bowerstone Castle [ Catacombs] Gold Key Door

On your way down the path in the Catacombs under Bowerstone Castle (which you traverse in the very beginning of the game), you may notice a Gold Door -- you need a Gold Key to open it, and so you'll have to return much later when you have access to the castle AND a key. Inside you'll find 40 Guild Seals.

Sunset House Gold Key Door

In the Sunset House area, enter the main gate and take a right as soon as you set foot on the lawn. A winding path leads back to the Gold Key Door here. It's directly across from the gazebo. Inside this Gold Key Door you'll find a Legendary Weapon (we found the Hammer of Wilmageddon).

Mourningwood Gold Key Door

In Mourningwood you can access the Ossuary through a door in the graveyard after completing two Side Quests: Bored to Death and Gone but Not Forgotten (which involve Sam, Max and the Normanomicon). In the Ossuary, turn left just as you enter to find the Gold Door. Beyond it is a sarcophagus you can open for a Legendary Weapon.

Brightwall Village [Reliquary] Gold Key Door

In the Reliquary under the Academy in Brightwall Village you can find a well-hidden Gold Key Door. To get to it, you'll need to complete the Special Delivery (Dweller Camp) and The Ancient Key (Academy) Side Quests. In the latter Side Quest you can lead Saul to a secret library in the Reliquary. Here you can make out a Flit Switch on the wall -- it takes four shots from a firearm to activate it. Head up the stairs and through the door on the left. Here is a melee Flit Switch you can smack.

It will float down below to the large room where you first encountered Hollow Men and received your first gun. Vault off the edge and smack it again. After taking on the wave of Hollow Men, stairs and platforms will align to lead to the Gold Key Door -- starting just past the central platform on the thin bridge. There are five chests in the area beyond called The Prism with the various pieces of the complete Highway Man Costume.
