Where to Find and Use the Pilgrimā€™s Perch Key in Lords of the Fallen

Soulslike games are riddled with locked doors and hidden passageways, and Lords of the Fallen is no different. Quite often youā€™ll come to a door that wonā€™t budge, or one that requires a specific key to pass through. Luckily, the game lets you know when you need a specific key to open said door, though you might have a hard time finding said key. One of those keys is the Pilgrimā€™s Perch key. Hereā€™s where to find and use the Pilgrimā€™s Perch key.

Shortly after the Scourged Sister Delyth sub boss fight, youā€™ll come to an area called Pilgrimā€™s Perch. Here, there are a handful of locked doors that require the Pilgrimā€™s Perch key to open. Or maybe you already stumbled across the key and are wondering where said doors are. We opened them all and found both horrors and treasure.

The Pilgrimā€™s Perch Key is perhaps the easiest to find: simply speak with Stomund in Skyrest Bridge to buy it for 9500 Vigor. Yes, thatā€™s quite the steep price ā€“ and if youā€™re still early on in the game, donā€™t bother right now ā€“ but if you did purchase it, all three doors to use it on are located within Pilgrimā€™s Perch.

Foremost, just after when you first enter Pilgrimā€™s Perch, climb the ladder to your right and enter a little cave. There will be a door here with a chest inside. Within, youā€™ll find the heavy Sacred Resonance set ā€“ which includes an awesome Bell helmet. This is the easiest Pilgrimā€™s Perch door to unlock.

Behind the other two doors reside enemies likely far too powerful for you to take on, but if you arenā€™t afraid of a little running around, you can quickly loot the items within before rushing out ā€“ or die trying, anyway.

Youā€™ll find the second door behind Byron at the Pilgrimā€™s Perch Bellroom Vestige. This is quite a high level area, where the enemies may look familiar but hit harder and have way more health. We came back way later and still had trouble; so we ran on through to find a sub boss called The Sacred Resonance of Tenacity, and, up a set of stairs near him, the Adyrā€™s Hardiness Inferno spell. Beyond the Resonance of Tenacity sub boss, youā€™ll find an area youā€™ll want to visit much later if you survive that far. 

Heading away from the sub boss, a set of stairs leads outside to an area filled with ultra powerful enemies: you can find a Hungering Knot catalyst and the Umbral Eye of Loash. This path also leads back to Skyrest Bridge.

The final Pilgrimā€™s Perch door is where you first meet and rescue Gerlinde, the blacksmith, located at the very end of the Pilgrimā€™s Perch area. This is also where you take the elevator up back to the Bellroom Vestige. In the back of the room you find Gerlinde in, a locked door with a horde of enemies awaits. Outside, if youā€™re brave enough, you can find a Warriorā€™s Claw amulet.

Thatā€™s all you need to know to find and use the Pilgrimā€™s Perch key in Lords of the Fallen. While it isnā€™t necessary to use when you first visit the area, the handful of great items discovered within will help you as you adventure onward through the next area, Fitzroyā€™s Gorge.
