The Elder's loot. It's literally "swamp key". You need to find a swamp and find something where the key fits. That's where the magic happens. There's usually more than one reason why any given feature in the game works exactly how it's supposed to.

Survival games, and Valheim, are not about being spoon-fed things.

But, back to the actual topic.

Crypt generation used to be... generous, way back. So if someone comes showing off how they have literally 20 crypts clustered in almost a symmetric arrangement, don't let it make you feel like your doing something wrong. And no, it wasn't actually great back then. It just meant more sailing trips to the exactly same place over and over again instead of covering more land and seas and possibly finding something even better or useful to future progression tiers.

You can always use Valheim World Generator or some other tool to view dungeons or other locations on your own world or any other seed if you need points on how to proceed.
