Gameplay

The key is required to unlock the Skull Gates, which are the only way out of the Graveyard. It is dropped by the Stained Glass Demon after its defeat. If the player defeats the demon after the key's already been collected, the demon will drop a moneybag instead.

"That Skull Key would get along great with a skull door. A rib or a spine door? Far less compatible."

Behind the scenes

MediEvil (1998 original)

The Lake Key, an unused item, uses the Skull Key icon, likely as a placeholder. The Lake Key can only be obtained using cheats in pre-release versions of the game.

MediEvil: Resurrection

The Skull Key was replaced by the Stain Glass Key. This is purely a visual change, as the key is obtained and used in exactly the same ways.
