Diablo 4Whispering Keysare a special item you’ll need to unlockSilent Chests, which are just one of the ways to hoover up some high tier gear. With that in mind, theseDiablo 4 tipswill also help to set you on the right path, especially if this is your first time visiting Sanctuary. Who’d have thought there’d be so much to learn about surviving in a world of demons and angels?
The first several hours of Diablo 4 take place in the Fractured Peaks, just one of the areas in Sanctuary, but there’s still plenty to discover—it’s certainly big enough that it makes fast-traveling viawaypointsa necessity. If your wandering brings you to a Silent Chest, or you happen on a vendor selling Diablo 4 Whispering Keys, here’s what you need to know.
Where to get Diablo 4 Whispering Keys
You can buy a Whispering Key from thePurveyor of Curiositiesvendor, located in many of the towns found in Fractured Peaks. This vendor doesn’t accept gold as a currency, though: you’ll need to pay withMurmuring Obols, which are mainly rewarded for completing events around Sanctuary.
One Whispering Key costs20 Murmuring Obols, and as each successful event awards 35 Obols, assuming you completed the Mastery challenge too, you won’t have any trouble getting the required currency.
Diablo 4 Silent Chests: What they are
Silent Chests can befound randomly around Sanctuary, and seem to spawn in the place of regular chests. As they’re locked, you won’t be able to open them without a key and it also seems that they won’t last indefinitely, so it might be wise to pick up a Whispering Key ahead of time. That way, you can avoid having the Silent Chest disappear by the time you head back to town and grab a key to open it. Theinteractive mapof Fractured Peaks can be filtered to show chest spawn locations if you want to check every possible location for chests.
