To get the Strange Key for the Cow Level, you must first purify the Musty Tome, Bloody Wooden Shard, and Intricate Metallic Fragment.

  1. The Musty Tome is placed on the Oxen God of the West.

  3. Intricate Metallic Fragment on the Oxen God of the South.

After placing the relics, the Strange Key should appear on the fountain ground.
