Unlike in the original game, it is possible to get a duplicate Skull Key. To obtain it, Dan must defeat the Stained Glass Demon after using the Skull Key to unlock the Skull Gates. This second key will not be usable, as the Skull Gates are permanently unlocked. It is not possible to obtain any more keys afterwards, as the demon will drop a moneybag whilst a Skull Key is in the inventory. | |||
