Lords of the Fallen is seemingly linear until after you defeat the first major boss. Once the Hushed Saint is defeated, you’ll gain an optional path you can follow that leads to advanced challenges you’ll only be able to easily overcome much, much later in the game. If you’re eager to explore new regions of the map or just want to grind vigor on tough enemies, you’ll want to purchase the Pilgrim’s Perch key ASAP. Here’s where to find it and what to do with it after you get it.

The Pilgrim’s Perch Key is a special required key needed to progress to one of the five beacons. It can be used in two different areas of Pilgrim’s Perch — one of the early areas of the game you’ll need to cross to reach the first beacon in the Forsaken Fen.
Purchasing the Pilgrim’s Perch Key will also unlock a map for Belled Rise. The map gives you a general vague idea of how to progress up to the top of Pilgrim’s Perch. Pilgrim’s Perch Key has multiple locations it can be used — and if you buy it early, you’ll encounter extremely tough enemies very early in the game.
Key Location #1: In Pilgrim’s Perch, find a locked door with an embedded bell directly opposite the Bellroom Vestige checkpoint. It’s where the NPC is standing.
Reaching The Manse of the Hallowed Brothers: To access the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers area, follow the Pilgrim’s Perch Key door until you encounter the Sacred Resonance of Tenacity boss.
