Can't access Depraved Sanctuary

[Sage]

I killed Direni with my newest character instead of asking him to explain himself and now I can't enter the sanctuary in the burrwitch outskirts.
The skeleton key's flavour text says it should be able to open any door, but it doesn't work here.
How do I get in?

You need a special key for entering. The cultists outside of the depraved sanctuary or near/in the cultists lair can drop it.

[Myagony]

you want the strange key not skelly

How rare is the drop chance? Because I've cleared that area 4 times and nobody's dropped it yet.

Takes a while, I think I needed around 10 times the first time I got the key that way.

On the other hand, I have seen three strange keys in one screen before, when of course I left Direni alive.

Not that rare. I usually get it in 2 or 3 runs in the house where you find the dying man who asks you to find his hidden stash.

The key's just rare enough to be annoying for every second character you make. XD

There is a cellar in one of the destroyed barracks near. A hidden trapdoor leads into it. There are some cultists and an injured person. There is a high drop chance in this cellar. Once the key dropped even twice there, but you can only collect one....buuh.

why did you kill direni? if you spare him he gives you the key and also you can farm him for Tainted Brain Matter at cronleys hideout bad choise

I killed him, too, with my second char, cause I simply wanted to know :) will let him alive, again on elite.

Yeah I know. I just wanted to see how much changed when he's dead. My previous 6 characters all let him live.

You just get less Devil's Crossing faction rep (no rep given), less XP, no iron bits, and no Blood of Ch'thon if you let him live.

It actually makes more sense to kill him on Normal and Elite (for the extra rep) and to NOT kill him on Ultimate (to have an extra hero to farm).

Damn, wish I knew that 3 characters ago.
Farming rep is really tedious. I've been playing since Act 1 was all that existed in the beta and I give up and start a new character wayyyy before I ever get to see a single nemesis every time.
