The Smudged Key is a key in Haunting Ground. The Smudged Key can be given to Fiona Belli if she visits Debilitas after defeating him in the chapel. The key itself unlocks the locked stall door in the bathroom that leads to a basement, where the pair of Metal Boots can be found, as well as the Castle Gate Key. However, if the player chose to instead kill Debilitas, Fiona will not be able to obtain the key and access the boots. However it is possible to create the Metal Boots by synthesizing the Medallions in a specific order in the machine room.
