Prayer Room Key location
This is the exact location in Belurat where Fire Knight Queelign invades you. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco
To find Queelign inside Belurat, Tower Settlement, start at the Small Private AltarSite of Grace, and then exit out the door and up the stairs where you’ll fight the golden knight. From there, take the northeast route past the ruined buildings, and you’ll come to a garden area with a tree in the centre. This is where Fire Knight Queelign invades you.
The other area Queelign invades you is the Church Of The Crusade. This church can be found a short way into the Scadu Altus region of the Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC, just north of Castle Ensis.
You can take either path to reach Fire Knight Queelign’s invasion location at the Church Of The Crusade. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco
Kill Queelign at both invasion locations, and the second time he will drop the Prayer Room Key.
Where to use the Prayer Room Key
The Prayer Room Key is used to unlock the Prayer Room inside the Church District of Shadow Keep.To get there, first head to the Moorth Ruins to the east of the Highroad Cross Site Of Grace. On the south side of the ruins is a giant hole in the ground, which you can carefully descend to reach a tunnel that leads east into Bonny Village.
Cross the two bridges leading from Bonny Village further east, and follow the path north until you reach theChurch DistrictHighroad Site Of Grace. From there, it’s a quick trek up the northwest path to enter the Church District of Shadow Keep.

The Church District is flooded, so make sure you time your jumps well to avoid instant drowning. From theChurch District EntranceSite Of Grace, jump onto the rooftop ahead, then proceed to the other side and jump to the next rooftop. Use the far edge of the roof to jump onto the ledge on the castle’s outer wall, and from there, jump onto the church rooftop itself. Be careful of the burningPutrid Corpsesthat will try to explode on you while you make your way here.
The path to the Prayer Room takes you over a fair few rooftops within the Church District of the Shadow Keep. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco
Carefully jump down through the hole onto thecurved platformsbelow, and from there jump down onto the ledge with the hole in the floor. Jump through the hole and head round the nearest corner. In front of you is the locked door to thePrayer Room. Open it with your newfound Prayer Room Key.
What’s inside the Prayer Room?
Your old foe Fire Knight Queelign is not in the best of ways when you see him inside the Prayer Room. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco
Insidethe Prayer Room, you’ll find Fire Knight Queelign, curled up in a ball on the ground, praying desperately to Marika. He will ignore you when you interact with him, continuing to pray.
He’s in a bad way, it seems. You can choose either to do nothing, or to place either anIris Of Graceor anIris Of Occultationupon him (if you have either such items).
Using either Iris on Fire Knight Queelign will result in him seemingly dying. The only difference (other than Queelign’s reaction) is the reward you gain: Fire Knight Queelign’s Spirit Ash, or Queelign’s Greatsword.
Also note that using either Iris on Queelign doesn’t actually use up the Iris, so you keep hold of it after using it on him.
Where to find Iris Of Occultation
You can find several Irises Of Occultation within the Shadow Keep itself, and you can also find one within the Fort of Reprimand that lies on the hidden secondary path into Scadu Altus. For full details, check out ourIris Of Occultation guide.
Where to find Iris Of Grace
There’s only one Iris Of Grace in the Land Of Shadow: it is also found inside the Shadow Keep, at the end of the Jar-filled area at the bottom of the elevator on the first floor of the Storehouse tower. For full details, consult ourIris Of Grace guide.
