Opens the locked House in Outlaw's Town in Fool's Gold mode

Overview

The Fool's Key is a large key that was exclusive to the Fool's Gold gamemode. It was used to unlock a locked house in Outlaw's Town, which contains several Bonds and a Unicorn. Unlocking the door will also complete the Fool's Gold Challenge. The Fool's Key was obtained by selling Fool's Gold, with the key having a fairly low drop rate.

Strategies

Upon obtaining this, don't sell any more Fool's Gold, as it can spawn entities as such of Nikola Tesla

Patch history

The Fool's Key is just an enlarged version of the Supply Depot Key. If you glitch into the house at the outpost, nothing will be there, putting the key in the slot is what spawns the bonds and unicorn. This was made to prevent glitching.
