This is a rewritten paragraph with much more explicit explanations and a very clear tone:

You'll have to kill Ghost King and Skeleton Warlord to get the Skull Key. However, it is not a guaranteed drop so be prepared to work on this one for a long time. It has a 2% chance of dropping from Ghost King and a 0.5% chance of dropping from Skeleton Warlord and Lich respectively. Defeating elite-level monsters will bring it up to 5%.

To find the Ghost King, head towards the center of Dark and Darker's Inferno Map. On your way, you will encounter other key-possessing mobs. Be aware that each enemy has very distinctive attack patterns, so do not be careless while approaching them. Take the Ghost King, for example. It is a suddenly appearing mob who summons lethal creatures. Kill him and his minions to get the Skull Key in case you are holding it.

The Skull Key will allow access to a hidden chamber. To the south, cross the lava fields, fighting some enemies. Approach the large door  and pull the lever beside it to form a bridge. Use your key on the secret entrance.

On the inside, you'll encounter a load of chests, legendary weapons, and other highly valuable items. You will not have time to appreciate them just yet because you will be swarmed by skeleton archers and dragonflies. Defeat all before collecting your loot.
