<div id="bkmrk-in-game-description-"><table><tr><td>![]()</td></tr><tr><td></td></tr></table>

### In-Game Description

---

*Key to the cells of the Lost Bastille.  
  
Long ago, a bastille lord, driven to desperation  
by the rapid spread of curse across the land,  
began to see each subject as a carrier of the  
blight, and locked them away in droves.  
  
This entire bastille was turned into a prison,  
and left abandoned to rot with its prisoners.*

### Use

---

- Unlocks doors on either side of the entrance to The Lost Sinner.
- Unlocks a cell before approach to The Lost Sinner.
- Unlocks the locked door at Steady Hand McDuff's workshop.
- Unlocks the cell next to Straid of Olaphis. On a corpse inside the cell is a Petrified Dragon Bone.
- Not to be confused with the Antiquated Key, which opens another section in the Lost Bastille, accessing the cage elevator which leads to Straid.
