Like any good game in the Soulslike genre, Lords of the Fallen is filled with intricate explorable areas featuring branching pathways and well-hidden secrets. To uncover them all, you’ll have to take things slow and be extremely thorough, but even if you’re checking every nook and cranny, you’ll occasionally find that you’re missing an important item or key needed to pass through specific barriers. For instance, early in the game while exploring Pilgrim’s Perch, you may come across a door or two that requires a Pilgrim’s Perch Key, which you actually won’t be able to find in the area itself. Don’t worry, though – we’ll tell you where to get it below.

Where to get the Pilgrim’s Perch key

The Pilgrim’s Perch Key can be purchased for 9,500 Vigor from Stomund, Captain of the Fidelis in Skyrest. You can find this NPC standing to the right of the vestige, but he’ll only start selling you items after you’ve exhausted all of his initial dialogue, so be sure to speak with him multiple times if you haven’t already.

It’s perfectly reasonable to see the cost of the Pilgrim’s Perch Key and feel a bit overwhelmed – that’s an absolutely staggering amount of Vigor to obtain early in the game. However, it shouldn’t take too long to farm it up, especially if you use our favorite XP farming spot a bit further into Pilgrim’s Perch. Plus, the cost will be worth it, as you’ll be able to open various doors throughout Pilgrim’s Perch that lead you to new areas and rewards.

2024 gaming report card: How did PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo fare?

After a long and busy 12 months, 2024 is officially in the books. Players have a few weeks to rest before the video game release calendar picks up in February with a barrage of major releases. That's a problem for next month, though. Until then, we've still got some time to reflect on what was a rollercoaster year for the gaming industry, full of surprise hits, total flops, and surprising no shows.

At the center of all that was the three pillars of mainstream gaming: Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. While their power may be waning in the age of portable PCs like the Steam Deck, these platform holders are still the watercooler conversation starters whose every move generates buzz. This year, all three companies found themselves in a strange spot. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X hit the awkward midpoint of their lifespans, while the Nintendo Switch was left to tread water after its much anticipated successor was pushed out of 2024. All three would have to get creative if they were going to end the year strong.

We predicted gaming’s 2024 last December. Here’s what we got right (and wrong)
Nintendo Switch.

It's my favorite time of the year at Digital Trends. Every time a year ends, I like play prognosticator and predict what's going to happen in video games the following year. I've run this series for the past few years and I often find that my guesses are spot-on come December. That's always a rewarding moment as I reflect on a long 12 months. On the flip side, sometimes I'm so embarrassingly wrong that I get a good laugh to end the year.

This year, it's the latter.

Why you should buy the Sony PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition
The Sony PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition is a refresh of the popular video game console. Released in November 2023, it's a slimmer version of the device that was originally released three years prior, while also adding extra storage -- bumping up to 1TB from 825GB. You'll be able to install more titles, which is particularly important in the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition as it doesn't come with a disc drive. You can eventually buy the PS5 Digital Edition Disc Drive for an additional $80, but for those who want to avoid the clutter of physical discs, going purely digital would sound like a great idea.
