EVERYONE needed to have this key to enter VT
this was the key just to enter the zone.
in the court yard you had to kill a giant stonegrabber mob called Va... something - who droped the palace door key. - you only need 1 such key.
The Va... was on 1 hour respawn timer, and took our pre-elem geared 2 groups 45 min to kill (a shit load of hp)
Inside VT there were some more keys which were locking out the door into Main hallway
atleast one of the Mini-bosses before main hallway had to be killed for this key
inside the main hallway there were 2 towers on the first floor, and at least 1 of the Tower bosses had to be killed in order to depop the wardens leading to the 2nd floor.
with 8 pre-elem groups it took us rathly 5 hours to do the 1st floor on day 1, camp the mage at the portal to 2nd floor, and another 4 hours to do the 2nd floor on the day 2 inclduign Aten Ha Ra kill.

Heh, I was going off websites I read. I had never been there before.
Boy, that sure is a lot of work though...
p.s. Just wanted to add that the problem was all me to begin with. I misunderstood what I had read online for what it took to get into Vex Thall. I had zoned into Vex Thall from Umbral Plains oringinally without the Scepter of Shadows so when I read that you needed one, I just assumed it meant to actually get into the Palace not to zone in.
