After obtaining the key, the real challenge begins. The Prayer Room is not where one might expect. To find it:

1. Travel east from the High Road Cross in Scadu Altus.
2. Descend into Moorth Ruins.
3. Pass Bonny Village.
4. Head north past the Cathedral.

This path leads to the Church District of the Black Keep. The Prayer Room door is hidden within this area.

Reaching the Prayer Room requires some parkour actions:

1. Jump across rooftops starting from the district entrance.
2. Aim for the main church with the collapsed roof.
3. Drop through the roof onto stone spokes inside.

The Prayer Room door is on a balcony to the left appearing as a dead end. It's easy to miss in the gloomy environment.

Opening the door reveals more than just treasure. The room contains an interaction related to Fire Knight Queelign's quest. This encounter presents a difficult choice with far-reaching consequences.

The Prayer Room Key serves as more than just a tool to open a door. It's a gateway to deeper lore and potentially game-changing decisions.

Summary
