Location of the Stella Montis Archives Key
The Archives key, like most keys that aren't tied to quests, appears randomly on the map.
However, according to the experience reported by many players, certain areas seem more likely to hold it. Residential areas are an excellent starting point for your search. For example, the houses on the Blue Gate map are often mentioned as a loot location for the Archives key.
The Buried City is also a place well suited to obtaining this rare key. All the dwellings in this area are filled with containers and chests that may hold your precious sesame.
Particularly interesting is the Residence Ruby building on the Dam Battlegrounds map, which contains numerous containers to force open and loot, all potential sources for generating keys in general, Archives included.

Access to the Archives Room
Next, once you finally have this key in hand, you still need to find the Archives room itself! The task can sometimes prove tricky, with no precise mention of the location in question.
First head towards the Seed Vault area on the Stella Montis map. Then, in a straight line, climb several pipes to reach the upper level, and go in through the door in front of you, then keep going straight down the corridor.

The Archives room will be waiting for you on the right at the end of the corridor; be careful all the same, as fearsome ARC enemies often patrol the area, including Shredders, which you should try your best to avoid...
The Archives room door unlocks with the key, and once inside, make sure to close the door behind you to escape the Shredders on your trail!
