Where to find and kill Ash Keymaster in Sea of Thieves
If you intend to go after the Ash Key Masters, you need to know exactly where they are. There are several different ways you can do this and you should find the most efficient/easiest way.
The first way is to raid Skeleton Forts, as they can spawn randomly during the battle. If you find that this is not as efficient as you would like, then you can always check the coastline of the various islands as they may just be wandering around.
If you happen to provoke an encounter with one of them, get ready for a fight, as they won't be easy to kill. They can deal a lot of damage and can restore health. Don't get greedy, just be patient and destroy their health, and keep your misses ready for critical moments to deal massive damage.
If you defeat one of them, he will drop the Ash Key.
