The gold key is the Rusty key door (water + spikes; not the one with Pierre in it.

yes! i cant open the gate. I already used my silver key and didn't open. Idk if it's a bug or something. if the key doesnt fit in Lara usually says "no".

You can easily get locked in that level using the wrong key. Only way is reset.
(Search the posts here, its a good described discussion about it)

There are two rusty keys:

The first one to your right the on the top ledge when you first enter the Cistern.

The second rusty key is in the area with Pierre (first encounter); it's hard to see in remastered mode, you can switch to classic to see it. This area leads back into the cistern main area.

I took all keys except for the golden key.

That key is the rusty key door (with the water and spikes.Once grabs it opens a door that leads back into the main area of the cistern[i.postimg.cc].

I restarted the mission. it worked now. I think it was a bug. I opened the second door for the golden key rather than the first door to get the other rusty key.

I just went through this level and I have no clue what you're talking about. None of the 2 rusty keys is behind a door. They are both accessible from the "main room", you can't get blocked if you decide to open one specific door before the other.

Idk I was stuck, I used both keys and one didnt work which was the second door.

You actually can get softlocked in the cistern. If you open the right-most door with a rusty key and manage to drop down into the hole with the spikes without impaling yourself and before raising the water level, you can no longer get back up.

happened to me as well, you can get stuck in this level.
just die on spikes and press restart the level

you cannot get stuck by using the rusty keys in the "wrong" order, only by the spikes method described above

when using the key in the door to the right and go down (where the spikes are) and if water is low level you can't climb up back to the main room, you're stuck, no matter what. You have to restart the level or load a previous save

But that has nothing to do with using the rusty key on the door to the right first, as opposed to the door to the left. Both rusty keys can be found virtually in the same room, and it doesn't matter which of the 2 doors you open first or second. The only way to get stuck is to go into the door to the right, without higher water level and not die on the spikes. If so you can just reload a previous save.

In the right door that needs one of the two rusty keys if you avoid death by the spikes, then you get stuck
Otherwise opening either door is the same, you will have do more or less backtrack to lower or raise the water.
The issue i did face with the new graphics is that they key can be hard to see and you may think it just never spawned.

anyone who have played or at the very least read walktrough of the original game knows this.
