Dead Cells: How to get the Architect's Key?
Last update:
At the end of the Graveyard location in Dead Cells, you might encounter a locked door. In order to open them, you need to have the Architect's Key. Below, you can find information on how to find the key and what treasures await you in the areas of the cemetery that by default are inaccessible.
Finding the Architect's Key in Dead Cells

The Architect's Key is hidden in random secret compartments at the cemetery. Just to remind you, these compartments are marked by a small symbol. In order to explore them, you need to perform several melee attacks. The screenshot above presents an exemplary compartment with the key.
Using the Architect's Key in Dead Cells

After acquiring the Architect's Key go to the end of the map, where you should find the door you can open with the key. In the secret compartment, you should find the Merchandise Categories blueprint (provides more items to choose from when trading with vendors).

That is not all, as you can climb the wall to the right and go through the secret tunnel visible in the screenshot above leading the protagonist to the pressure plate.

Return to the door you have just opened. Jump onto the ledge above and climb the vertical wall using the spider rune. This way, you will reach a yet another secret location visible above - inside, you can find the Parting Gift blueprint (a mutation the leads to the appearance of bombs).
