Puzzle solution

Click to view

The Key of Aries is used on the box in the Treasure Trove when it is drafted on the Grounds using the Blessing of the Monk. When this is done, the treasure trove contains a black box with the same color scheme and insignia. Using the Key of Aries on the box provides the Royal Scepter, and permanently adds the scepter as an item in the Treasure Trove if not already owned.

Additional information

The Key of Aries is mentioned on one of the notes in The Precipice/Unknown: "THE BLACK KEY IS LYING WITH THE LAST KING OF EIGHT". This implies that that puzzle does actually lead to this key, implying its existence (and perhaps connection to the usage) even before the item is obtained.
