Old Key Guide

Alright, so you're looking for the Old Key, huh? Don't worry, it's not too tricky to find once you know where to look. This key is pretty important for moving forward in your investigation, so let's get you sorted.

First things first, you'll need to head to the Devil's Reef Hotel. When you arrive, you'll experience a vision – what you see depends on who you decided to back earlier in the game. After that, you'll wake up back in your own room.

On the desk in your room, you'll find two important documents:

  • The Prophecy, with my notes
  • Putting everything together

Reading these will give you a good idea of what you need to do. Essentially, you're looking for three Kayfingers to complete the Seal of Cthygonnaar, which will open the way to Cthygonnaar itself. The first Kayfinger is on the central Monolith, and to find the others, you'll need to seek out the fire worshipers.

This leads you to St. Michael's Church of The Burning Bush. When you get there, you'll notice a lot of activity outside, including a cart with gasoline canisters. Inside the church, you'll find some grim sights and a note titled Cleanse yourselves!. Keep an eye out for a key on a pedestal upstairs, near a document called Shopping list and The Book of Holy Flame.

Be careful when heading downstairs, as there's a Warning note about wylebeasts. In the basement, you'll find an illusory wall. After dispelling it, you'll have to deal with some wylebeasts. In the room that was hidden, you can find a Dream diary and the Priest's records. Use your Mind's Eye on a section of the rock to find the first Kayfinger. Following the omens will reveal Father Nicolas' Instruction, which points you towards the next Monolith and mentions needing to use the Archives at the Oakmont Chronicle.

Keep these instructions in mind, and you'll be well on your way to finding what you need!
