The key to the Dead Man's Chest.
- "You can do nothing without the key!"
- ―Davy Jones to Jack Sparrow.
This key unlocked the Dead Man's Chest that held the heart of Davy Jones, after he cut it from his body in an attempt to rid himself of the pain of losing his love.
History
Origin
- "The key... he keeps with him at all times."
- ―Tia Dalma on Davy Jones.
The actual place of origin, as well as the original maker, are unknown. The chest was buried on Isla Cruces, and Jones kept the key about his person at all times—tucked behind his facial tentacles. Captain Jack Sparrow learned of the existence of the Dead Man's Chest, and set out to find the key, as he knew a debt made with Jones thirteen years prior now had to be paid. Jack hoped to find Jones' heart and thus control Jones himself, meaning he could call off the Kraken that Jones unleashed upon his enemies.
Dead Man's Chest
Drawing of the Key.
- "How do you know of the key?"
- ―Davy Jones to Will Turner.
Jack stole a drawing of the key from a warder at the Turkish prison, and set out to find the real thing. To do this, he enlisted the help of Will Turner, persuading him that finding the key would help to rescue Elizabeth Swann, currently languishing in jail at Port Royal. Will accepted, and boarded the Flying Dutchman. There, he tricked Jones into revealing the key's location, and stole it in the dead of night, replacing it with the drawing.
Will stealing the key while Jones sleeps.
Will absconded with the key, though had by now incurred Jones' wrath, who summoned the Kraken to pursue Turner. He managed to evade death, however, and travelled to Isla Cruces, where he confronted Jack as the latter unearthed the Dead Man's Chest. A fight ensued, the culmination of which seeing Jack unlocking the chest and taking the heart. However, James Norrington later took the heart for himself, handing the empty chest over to Jones' crew. Jones unlocked the chest himself aboard the Dutchman, and learned of the heart's disappearance.
At World's End
- "You can do nothing without the key!"
"I already have the key!"
"No you don't! Haha"
"Oh, that key!" - ―Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones.
The key remained on board the Flying Dutchman during Jones' servitude, first used by Norrington to display the threat of killing Jones by opening the chest and having his men aim at the heart, and later kept by Mercer. Following his return from Davy Jones' Locker, Jack Sparrow got the chest while it's guards, Mullroy and Murtogg, were busy arguing. Jones tried to get the chest from Jack in a duel. Jack also tried to take the key from Jones after he killed Mercer and took it back. The key was lost by Jones when the tentacle he was holding it with was severed. Jack later found the still-mobile tentacle slinking across the deck, the key still in its grasp. He used the key to finally reopen the chest. When Will became captain of the Dutchman, it is likely he took possession of the key.
