Al Bagra Munitions Storeroom Key

The Al Bagra Munitions Storeroom Key can be found after you use one of the Dark Aether's only Doghouses. Place 3 Chunks of Flesh inside the Doghouse to summon a friendly Hellhound.

Once the Doghouse blows up after summoning the Hellhound, you should be able to find the Al Bagra Munitions Storeroom Key among its remains. However, do note that if you mess up and summon a hostile hellhound, no key will drop.

Al Bagra Officers Quarters Key

The Al Bagra Officers Quarters Key can be found on a desk in one of the Guard Houses at the northern entrance of Al Bagra Fortress. You will be able to see both of them immediately once you spawn (across the bridge and past the Gas Station).

Warning: A Mega Abomination will usually spawn at the Parking Lot in front of the Guard Houses when you first enter the Dark Aether. You will likely need to kill it or wait for it to pass before you can safely loot the area.

A.B.F. Antiquities Office Key

The A.B.F. Antiquities Office Key can be found in the Underground Tunnels of Al Bagra Fortress. Look for a room with an Aether Tear and the key should be on top of one of the crates in the same room.

Al Bagra Barrack Key

To find the Al Bagra Barrack Key, head to the eastern end of the island and look for two tall, identical buildings. The key can be found on a table inside the First Floor Kitchen of one of the buildings.

Warning: A Mega Abomination usually likes to patrol the main road outside the building. Prepare yourself for a fight since a lot of zombies (on top of the Megabomb) like to spawn here.

What are Dark Aether Keys?

Al Bagra Fortress Keys that Open Locked Reward Rooms

Dark Aether keys are used to open the locked rooms inside the Dark Aether's Al Bagra Fortress. Most of these keys can be used to unlock 1 of 2 locked rooms, with each room offering a different reward when opened.

Keys Can Only be Used Once Per Match and Cannot Be Exfiled

Unfortunately, unlike in MW2's DMZ mode, keys in Zombies' Dark Aether map can only be used once per match. Once used, they will disappear from your inventory entirely. Additionally, you will not be able to exfil the keys as they are converted to XP on exfil.
