Ashen Key Master

Ashen Key Masters are a type of Ashen Skeleton Captain in Sea of Thieves. Ashen Key Masters protect Ashen Keys.

Mechanics
Ashen Key Masters are mechanically identical to Ashen Guardians. Ashen Key Masters and Guardians are Ashen Skeletons with a red mist surrounding them. They can hold a Cutlass, Flintlock or Blunderbuss. Emergent Ashen Key Masters have 500 Health, which is enough to withstand 5 point blank Blunderbuss Shots. They can also eat Bananas to regenerate around 100 health (a full Blunderbuss salvo's worth).

Where to Find
Ashen Key Masters can be encountered in the following locations:
 * Roaming the shorelines of Islands as solo Emergent Skeleton Captains.
 * A chance to spawn on a player exploring Islands.
 * At an active Skeleton Fort's second Boss wave.
 * As a part of various time-limited Mercenary Voyages.

Drops
An Ashen Key Master drops the following items:
 * Villainous Bounty Skull - Sold to the Order of Souls for around Gold.
 * Ashen Key Master's Notes - A Treasure Map with one X on the same Island, which drops an Ashen Key that can be used to open an Ashen Chest or sold to the Bilge Rats for.
 * (Only at Skeleton Forts) Ashen Key - Ashen Key Masters spawning in Mercenary Voyages and Skeleton Forts will straight out drop a Key.
