Where to find Hidden Old Town Gate Key in Lila’s Location Quest?

The Old Town Gate Key is hidden away in the subterranean labyrinth, in the Old Industrial District, which is located in the Mor Ardain Upper Level. From the entrance, go down the long staircase, and you’ll be in the Geothermal Processor room. Go through the doorway on the right. In the next room, go to the far wall, then through the door in the left corner. There’s a locked Access Gate at the very end of the Office Corridor you’ll find yourself in. Go back a bit from the Access Gate, and head through the first door you come across.

From there, go through the door on the left, and you’ll find yourself in the Bellyfull Canteen. There’s a hole in the floor in the far right corner, so drop down to the level below. You should now be in the Heat Material Refinery. Look around, and you’ll notice the red glowing item on a table on the right of the door. Pick it up, and you’ll receive the Old Town Gate Key. From there, skip travel to the Old Industrial District point, make your way back to the Access Gate, and unlock it.

Go down the long staircase almost all the way down. You can talk to Yamama at the very bottom of the stairs. Otherwise, walk down the stairs until you come across an open doorway one level above ground. You’ll be outside, so walk down some more stairs. From there, simply follow the quest marker until the cutscene starts.
