Just like the OLD Everquest Guide Keys to the Tower of Frozen Shadow (OLD)
In Torment of Velious, The Tower of Frozen Shadow requires you to collect keys per floor. The First Key can port up your entire group. For keys that spawn on random mob deaths, you may have to crawl the floor to get it to spawn instead of camping in 1 spot. Key to Floor 2: This Key is Key of Acquiescence. To get it, kill random mobs on Floor 1 until one respawns on death as "a large frost-bitten gnoll", kill this mob and loot the key. Key to Floor 3: This Key is Key of Optimism. To get it, kill a ghostly student on Floor 2 until one respawns on death as an angrier librarian. Kill this mob and loot the key. Key to Floor 4: This Key is Key of Melancholy. To get this Key you must do a Hail and Turn in chain of 7 mobs, if you succeed you will see an emote per, if you die during this or zone, it resets, and you will have to redo the Hails and Turn ins. a yearning armored shadow (Roams the Floor) - gives Broom - Turn in to a yearning zombie butler a yearning zombie butler - gives Book - Turn in to a yearning shadow a yearning shadow - gives Brazier - Turn in to a yearning shadow beast servant a yearning shadow beast servant - gives Bowl - Turn in to a yearning shadow beast cook a yearning shadow beast cook - gives Breastbone - Turn in to a yearning skeleton sleeper a yearning skeleton sleeper - gives Bedsheet - Turn in to a yearning zombie maid a yearning zombie maid - gives Brass Boots - Turn in to a yearning armored shadow Key to Floor 5: This Key is Key of Disdain. To get it, kill frost mummies on Floor 4 until it spawns the named Amontehepna the Second, kill this named and loot the key. Alternatively: Kill restless mummy's until you get see a death message: "A restless mummy's corpse drops to the ground as you see a spirit where it stood. Startled, the spirit floats quickly through a wall towards the center of the maze." Kill "An ascendant adventurer" in the middle of the maze, you see a death message: "An ascendant adventurer's corpse dissipates. You hear a scraping of metal and ice coming from below you." Drop down a pit trap and kill a rusty armor, on death you will see: "A rusty armor's corpse falls to the ground and out of it oozes the ectoplasm of a once lost spirit. Within it, you can see a key." Kill "A heroic ectoplasm" and loot the Key.

Kill mobs until you get a death message: "A golem usher's corpse falls to the ground. As it shatters upon the floor, you hear the sound of footsteps prancing in rhythm." This will spawn a "A Furious Choreographer" in the first room to the right, on death it should have the message: "A furious choreographer's corpse twirls one final twirl before falling to the ground. You hear the sound of instruments being tuned from upstairs." "An Enraged Composer" spawns up the stairs, kill it to spawn the Maid of Honor in the Center room, kill the Maid of Honor and loot the Key. Key to Floor 7: This Key is Key of Repudiation. To get it, kill guards on floor 6a until you see a death message: "A drolvarg guard's corpse crumples to the ground. It's weapon creating a loud clang as it strikes the floor." This will spawn a spectre near the throne in the north west room on the same floor, on death it should have a message: "A restless shade's corpse falls. As it does, you hear a loud cackling coming from somewhere else on this floor." This will spawn a 6th "shadow beast necromancer" on floor 6b, there will be 5 fake "shadow beast necromancers" on floor 6b that are always up, you have to kill the real one that spawns to get the Key, it is the one on the North side of the 7th Floor click spot. Using a Tracker Class for this will make it easier, once you see 6 up you will know the real one is up.

Key to Floor 8: This Key is Key of Trauma . This key comes from The Tower of Frozen Shadow raid. Mirror Room Key: allows you to go to any Floor you want, you will still need the actual Floor keys This Key is Tserinna's Spare Key.

Maybe this was obvious to others, but wasn't to me. The note says "if you die, you have to start over". It should be, if you die OR zone. I evac'ed at one point, and didn't realize that reset the sequence. Was surprised when I thought I was done with the cycle, but got no key. Wound up continuing the cycle until I got to the point where I had evac'ed, and then I got the key.

Coth is safe to use here and not lose your items. If you die even if you have your items you need to start over, what happens is that you go to do the final turn in and the last guy just doesn't give you the key. So very carefully make sure you don't die. If you die or zone the items dissapear, I did evac and still had one of the items in my inventory so I thought everything was fine, did the rest of the sequence and did not receive the key at the end. So no evac, no death.. but coth is okay and campfiring is okay (I was still on the same floor as my campfire, so did not zone to use it).

Got the Key of Dispair ( key to floor 5 ) from Heroic ectoplasm., The ectoplasm spawns after killing an Rusty Armor in the drop down.

This is exactly what worked for me as well. I spent several hours with no luck, then read the posts about /tar # and went back tried it again using that. Took 15 mins, killed the Rusty Armor, and then the Heroic Ectoplasm, and got key.

Kill golems on the 5th floor to get the hidden mob to spawn. A hockey with /tar # will target the golem if it’s up, works on all floors that have a hidden mob, Floors 1, 2, 4, 5, 6
I have used the "tar #" trick before, and it worked, but this morning, it didn't. Turns out, on the 1st floor, if you try it right from where you zone in, you're too far away to have it work. Move in to the zone a bit, and then it works.
Another tip on the first floor, and may apply elsewhere. My "tar #" had me target "a skeleton sleeper". Moved to it, engaged, and ..... got smoked. Turns out it's a named. I HATE unnamed names. If it's a NAMED, give it a freaking name, not one starting with "a" or "an".

Another "tar #" followup:
Got back the next day, and someone had just killed the named which spawned the key mob. Subsequent "tar #" requests all kept saying no such target. Cleared for a while (~25 mobs) til another mob spawned which was identified by "tar #". Got the key finally.
What this does mean is, when the "tar #" mob is up, if you're just clearing one small part of the level, if it's not where that mob is, you'll never get the key. However, if the "tar #" mob isn't up, you should be able to just clear a small area of the level, to make the mob spawn, like I saw last night.
And, of course, I got the key, went to level 2, and the player who killed the named on level 1 was still there on level 2. Tried "tar #". No such mob. Grrr.

It was the bonus XP summer weekend. We got to the 2nd floor, we began killing. We worked some spots, and we had a bad pull by the exit - the cute mirrors. Dead. Next attempt, we focused on the placeholders for the named. Killed a few dozens, got the named, dead. Third attempt, killed the named. Then, we settled in to get the keys. Students, scholars, students, scholars, no keys. More killing, more AA's. No keys.
We read posts here. So, we walked around the floor, killing everything. We did all 4 secret rooms. No keys. So, we settled in for the long haul. Students, scholars, students, scholars, no keys.
Finally, after four hours, we were bored enough to just try going around the room, one more time. Just to break the monotony. Students, scholars, around the room. Hey, wait... that's the student who killed us by the exit. Did... did we ever actually kill him? Hmmm...
One kill, instant key. Next student that spawned, 2nd key. Third student, 3rd key.
THE LESSON --- KILL EVERY SINGLE MOB ON EVERY FLOOR AT LEAST ONCE. DON'T SKIP ANYTHING.
Hunt well,
Baldurr and Astarr, Firiona Vie.
PS - We earned ~500 AAs. So, not a total loss :)

The name of the key to the 8th floor that is acquired from the raid is "Key of Trauma"

Spent 4 hours killing the east side of the map with no luck, was camped in the hall with 2 rooms. Switched to the West side hall with 2 rooms and had the key in less than 30 mins.
Not 100% confirmed, but looks like the drolvarg part (key to floor 7) is not a random update; one of the drolvargs is a PH/trigger for the next mob in the cycle. We had a group killing all drolvargs but one for several hours while we kept the shade room cleared. The shade near throne didn't spawn at all, but popped the very second we killed the one drolvarg we had left untouched earlier. This CAN be a coincidence, so confirmation is needed.
Oh how I wanted this to be true! Unfortunately it is not. I killed every drolvarg on 6a and the spectre still didn't spawn :(

Should be noted that if you have not started the TOV Earring Quest and think you may do that quest.. DO NOT DESTROY THE KEYS AFTER YOU PUT THEM ON YOUR KEYRING!
The shadow beast necromancer that dropped the key was across from the red gem looking clicky fixture you click to go up to 7. It was up after the 2 emotes that show that the spectre and the drolvarg have spawned.
Side note, the bats spawn 2x enraged vampires when they die. The bats don't see invis (but see ivu). The vampires (and other undead) don't see ivu (but see invis).

Need to add "a large frost-bitten gnoll" to the monster list.

For the 6th Floor Key of Regret, it seems to work best to kill the roaming ushers, not the static ones.
14 posts
For me it's always been from the static ushers.
After camping for six keys total, chances are random from any usher.
We fought under the assumption that the mob that we needed to kill was currently spawned, we just needed to find him. Kill all mobs at least once.
Quote:
This will spawn a 3rd "shadow beast necromancer" on floor 6b, there will be 2 fake "shadow beast necromancers" on floor 6b that are always up, you have to kill the real one that spawns to get the Key, it is the one on the North side of the 7th Floor click spot.
Using a Tracker Class for this will make it easier, once you see 3 up you will know the real one is up.

There is 5 shadow beast necromancers spawns on the 6b floor, not including the key mob. So the statment that you can track a third mob to know key mob is up is wrong. If you have 6 shadow beast necromancers on track then the key mob is up.
