Old Fasioned Key Location in MIO Memories in Orbit
You can only obtain the Old-Fashioned Key after defeating the boss Calderon. Calderon is encountered in the Metropolis area, deeper into the game’s map. This boss battle is a required part of progressing the main story, and you’ll need your Hairpin ability (and the Hairpin Energy refill) to reach the arena where the fight begins.
Calderon boss is located in Metropolis so you’ll have to first beat Egis for the Hairpin and then Crow to finally be able to reach Cauldron boss.
Once the boss is down, a room to the right side of the arena opens up. Head inside to find pick up the Old Fashioned Key.
Where and How to Use the Old-Fashioned Key
After you’ve collected the Old-Fashioned Key, your next objective is to reach the locked door that leads into the Hall of History.
That locked door is located near the Calderon fight arena in the Metropolis area. If you backtrack toward the section you were exploring before the boss room, you’ll see the door requiring this key. It is actually right above the boss arena, refer to the video above for the location.
You don’t have to do anything. Just stand near the locked door and the key is used automatically. The door is then permanently unlocked so you can access it annytime in MIO: Memories in Orbit.
Inside the Hall of Hisotry you can find the grapple points that take you toward the Foundations region and Overseer Pathway to the Nexus Attuner. Thus, allowing you to move the game’s story forward.
