In the surreal stealth sim Militsioner by developer TALLBOYS, the garage key opens the locked garage located down near the sewer. You can obtain the key in two ways: parkour across the roofs along the cable car route to take it off an indoor table, or pickpocket it directly from the colossal policeman while he is asleep.
Once unlocked, this sewer-adjacent garage contains a valuable lockpick and a lever that exposes a hidden champagne bottle.
Where to Find the Militsioner Garage Key
Players have documented two distinct methods to acquire the garage key during the demo and playtest builds. The rooftop route is safer if the giant is awake, while the sleeping giant method is faster if nighttime conditions are already met.
Method 1: The Rooftop Building Route
The primary puzzle route takes you across the rooftops along the path that leads toward the overhead cable cars.
- Head toward the buildings situated above the sewer area.
- Jump up onto the lower ledges and climb onto the roof structures.
- Follow the elevated path toward the cable car line.
- Instead of riding the cable car, look over the side of the building ledge and drop down to the exterior section below.
- Locate the open or glassless window on this upper floor.
- Jump through the window into the room.
- Grab the garage key sitting on the table inside.
The occupant inside the room becomes startled and calls out to the colossal policeman when you enter, so quickly pick up the key and jump back out of the window to drop down to street level before the giant reacts.
Method 2: Stealing from the Sleeping Policeman
If you advance the time to night or trigger the giant's exhausted state, the colossal policeman will eventually fall asleep with his hands resting in reach.
When the giant is fully asleep, you can approach his hand area where items like case files, lockpicks, and the garage key spawn. You can interact directly with the items to steal the garage key into your inventory. However, if you linger or make too much noise, he will wake up, become agitated, and potentially grab you.
Garage Key Acquisition Methods
| Method | Location | Risks | Recommended Timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rooftop Building | On a table inside an upper-floor room along the cable car route | Room resident alerts the giant immediately upon entry | Daytime or evening when parkour jumps are easily visible |
| Sleeping Giant | Directly off the colossal policeman's resting spot | Waking the giant leads to immediate suspicion or arrest | Nighttime or whenever the giant is knocked out or asleep |
How to Use the Garage Key and What Inside
Take the key down to the locked garage door situated near the sewer drainage area. Interacting with the door unlocks it using the garage key.
Before entering, ensure the colossal policeman is looking away, distracted, or asleep. Entering the garage while under his direct line of sight causes him to notice your intrusion, raising his annoyance and suspicion levels.
Inside the garage, you will find:
- A lockpick resting on the counter.
- A wall-mounted lever. Activating the lever raises a mechanical platform, revealing a lower crawlspace containing a champagne bottle.
Both the lockpick and the champagne bottle serve as critical tools for subsequent escape routes, bribes, or unlocking other restricted doors across town.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the garage door located in Militsioner?
The garage requiring this specific key is located at ground level near the town's sewer section. Interacting with the locked door prompts the message that the garage key is required.
What happens if the resident inside the rooftop room sees me?
The resident panics and shouts to report you to the giant policeman. As long as you snatch the garage key from the table immediately and vault back out the window, you can drop down to lower ground and break line of sight before the giant pinpoints your position.
Can the giant see you unlock and enter the garage?
Yes. If the colossal policeman is awake and looking in your direction, opening and walking into the garage will annoy him. It is best to access the garage while he is looking elsewhere, distracted by town events, or asleep.
