Bramis Castle Can't Access Key

[probably high]

I've been at a complete loss for how to get around the castle to the point where I decided to breakdown and finally watch a walk-through to show me [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_ozq8LS2y8] this one to be exact- everything is fine until the 16:54 mark where you go up the stairs to a room with that you can walk through, later on the path is where you would pick up the key for the area- but when I'm playing right now there's a door placed here that requires the key to be opened, which leads me to my issue- can't open it and get the key if I don't have the key to open the door in the first place, I've been through this area plenty of times but I still can't manage to find any other way to get to the key.

Did you pull the switch that rotates the stairs? It's about 9:00 in the video.

It is the switch by the Seer guy with the crystals. The switch turns the stairs and the switch is in a dark area right where that crystal guy was. Go there you will see it.

I did not flip a switch or see one so that’s gotta be it, I’m sure I just missed it then-

I appreciate both of you, thank you!
