How to Get the Cannery Key in The Chant

If there’s one thing to be sure of in Prime Matter and Brass Token’s survival horror cult title, The Chant, it’s that there are going to be many, many different types of keys to collect over the course of the game’s duration.

While there are big intricate ekys that have to be put together in order to unlock a full major area of the game, there are also simple, smaller keys that also have a significance in the progression of gameplay as well.

One early on is the Cannery Padlock Key that you’ll need in order to collect one of the 3 pieces that completes the much-needed Dodecahedron Key used in order to enter the Cannery building and rescue Kim. But if you’re having issue figuring out how to get the Cannery Key in The Chant, then we can help!

How to Get the Cannery Key in The Chant

In order to find the Cannery Key, you would have had to already have entered the Cannery area, fixed the Fuse Box by fitting int the Electrical Fuse, and have already gotten the jumpscare of a possessed Kim in the Cannery’s window. If you’ve already done that, then you’re ready to find that Cannery Key for the padlock.

The actual door you’ll need to use the Cannery Key is going to be towards the right of where Kim scares Jess. It’s the boathouse, essentially. The boathouse is significant because you’ll need to find a piece of the Dodecahedron Key which is sitting in a boat with a skeleton holding onto it.

To get the key though, head around the Cannery to that larger building sitting next to it. This is the safe room. But don’t go into it, you’ll instead want to then go past that building, following the walkway around it.

You’ll then find yourself in a makeshift toolroom-looking area with wooden shelves and desk, along with a red toolbox sitting on it. Open the toolbox and you’ll find the Cannery Key! It’s that easy! It can be difficult to find this one without help since this area is pretty well hidden at first.

Next, make your way to that boathouse and use the key to unlock the door. You’ll then be free to go inside and look for the next Dodecahedron Key piece that I mentioned as well as any crafting items or pieces of lore to help level Jess up.
