I can't find the stupid skull key either.. I'm tempted to skip it, but it looks like you need the key to get the snake statue to get the want to summon the naga, so I need it. Can anyone give specfic directions to it.. I've read the posts and no one mentions it. It's not in the chest in the pit.. I've spoken to both the Inq. and the Temple wizard, and then killed them, and no skull key..AHHH... please help.. this temple is starting to get really dull

I didn't get it till after I had gotten into the large snake staue thing with the brazier in front of it. You gotta kill the naga first then you will find a guy after going thru a bunch of elevators he will drop it.
