The worlds of Lords of the Fallen can be quite complicated for players, especially if they are not paying attention to their surroundings. The game has many areas that won't be immediately available for exploration. Players will need to find certain items to unlock them, while other areas can only be traversed after entering the Umbral world.

In Axiom, players will also notice that some of the gates are closed and require keys to open. One such item is the Pilgrim's Perch Key. Players won't be able to get their hands on the item immediately, so this guide will cover how to obtain the Pilgrim's Perch Key in Lords of the Fallen.

How To Get The Pilgrim's Perch Key

To get the Pilgrim's Perch Key, players will first need to make their way to ​​​​​​the Skyrest Bridge. Players will reach the place after beating Pieta, who will be the first real test in the game. Thankfully, players can summon an NPC to help them get through the fight. The NPC should keep her busy while players land strikes on her.

After finding the Skyrest Bridge, talk to Stomund. Select the option to Purchase. While going through his inventory, players will find many items, one of which is the Pilgrim's Perch Key. This item is available to buy for 9,500 Vigor. Most players won't have the required Vigor when they first meet Stomund, so they will have to do some farming to buy it. Thankfully, they should have unlocked several Vestige points. Travel to the one that has many enemies near it, kill all of them, and then reset by resting at the Vestige point.

After purchasing the Pilgrim's Perch Key, players will gain access to a new location. They can unlock the door near the Bellroom Vestige. This area is filled with all kinds of powerful monsters, which are much stronger than the enemies that players have faced so far. So, it is highly advisable to buy the Pilgrim's Perch Key only if players are up for the challenge. Buying the key to an area that players won't be able to explore properly is not a good move. Instead, players can focus on upgrading their character until they are ready to face the threats in this area.

Lords of the Fallen is now available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
