How to Get Insignia Key

Obtained in the Village Chief Manor in Chapter 2

Resident Evil 4 - Insignia Key Pick Up Screen

You can get the Insignia Key from inside one of the drawers at the second floor of the Village Chief Manor at the end of Chapter 2.

This room will be locked behind the Crystal Marble puzzle, so you'll have to solve that first in order to gain access inside.

The key is part of the main story, and you can't really miss it as you'll need to grab it in order to trigger the end cutscene for the chapter.
