Find the key potato and reach the locomotive

Find the drop before searching the machines

Check that the final delivery objective has started. The walkthrough shows the key arriving in a potato by parachute. In 1.0.2 the developer corrected the landing so that the drop reaches ground or snow instead of getting held on the crane. Inspect the ground around the outdoor delivery area before retracing the entire production line.

The English HUD gives a clear checkpoint: End of the shift, fill quota marked complete, then the key and door objectives. Look into the open space beside the crane as the dark canopy comes down. Follow the lines to their landing point instead of looking for a normal raw potato in the workbench bin. A player’s image shows the canopy still attached close to the ground.

Reveal and collect the key

Pick up the special potato and peel it to expose the object inside, then collect the key. Golden Horn also fixed the key potato in place until the player picks it up. In the fixed build, investigating the puppy or emptying the vacuum is an unnecessary detour when the delivery first arrives.

Look for the outline of a large metal key as the skin comes away. One walkthrough frame shows peeling the delivery outside; another player photographed the exposed key on the cutting board. Use the visible quest change to check collection. A key revealed in front of you and a key actually picked up are separate states; if the objective still asks you to find it, inspect the exposed object again.

From the depot to the train

Return to the workbench and look at the rear wall for the heavy bolted Iron Door. Unlock it, take the stairs and follow the snowy route out toward the railway. The illustrated walkthrough directs the player to the side door of the visible locomotive. In the cab, pause before pulling a lever if you want to compare the endings.

Look past the board to the rounded steel door with two horizontal locking bars and a handwheel. An English-language screenshot shows E Unlock above it; use the interact binding shown on your screen if you remapped controls. The path beyond goes uphill into snow and then along rails. Approach the side of the locomotive at the end. Searching the large yard loading door takes you back toward the pile.
