What is a Dragon Key Piece?

The Dragon Key Piece is a unique item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that plays a crucial role in the quest for the Dragon’s Lair. This item is a part of a larger key that unlocks the entrance to the Dragon’s Den, where players can encounter powerful dragons and obtain valuable loot. The Dragon Key Piece is not only a collectible item but also an essential component for adventurers looking to challenge these formidable foes.

How to Obtain Dragon Key Pieces

Dragon Key Pieces are obtained through various means, typically involving combat or exploration. Here are the primary methods to acquire them:

Monster Drops: Certain high-level monsters, such as Vorkath or the King Black Dragon, may drop Dragon Key Pieces upon defeat.
Treasure Trails: Completing a clue scroll may reward players with a Dragon Key Piece as part of the loot.

Each piece has a low chance of dropping, making them somewhat rare and valuable on the Grand Exchange.

Dragon Key Piece Variants

There are three distinct variants of the Dragon Key Piece, each representing a different part of the complete key:
