Begin digging at this location. It will take four attempts to successfully unlock the Melted Moat Key. Continue digging until the key is yours.

Using the Melted Moat Key

Locating the Melted Moat Chest

The Melted Moat Chest is located just behind the sand castle in the sandbox area. You’ll need to jump down into the water to access it. The chest is visible once you’re in the water near the castle.

Unlocking the Chest

Once you reach the chest with your Melted Moat Key, use the key to unlock it. Inside, you’ll find a Waterlogged Recipe.

What You Get: The Salt Morning Star
