Door to Abyss dont open
I finished the game once and got most of the achievements, now I'm trying to 100% in less than 20 hours, but I can not get the door open. As far as I know, the only thing needed to open the door would be the Kings Branding that I already got to fight with the Hornet, except that the door does not open. This is the third time I start the game and I stop in the same place. Can anyone help me with this???

I know you said you already have the king's brand, but just to be safe. Do you see the king's brand in your inventory? I think it normally shows up there. It's very weird that the door wouldn't open up for you with it in posession.

Do not show. On my first play I made 104%, when I enter this save, it also does not show, so I did not worry about it. I went there, I fought with the Hornet, I got the Kings Branding, when I left I was buried and Hornet saved me, I imagine that in this part, I should have her, but at no time do I see her in my inventory. Neither in the game with 104% I see the item.

Try verifying game files. It sounds like you have missing/corrupted plic/file of King's Brand or something like that.

I had two corrupted files, I hit both files and I still can not get into The Abyss

Then contact support I guess. Missing items from inventory? I've never encountered such error.

I think you might have to do this on a new save even after verifying the files. It's possible that the issue was fixed with that but since you've already passed the point where you got the King's Brand, with the game not thinking you actually have it, I believe triggering the event again is needed.

As I am already well advanced, I will try to make 100% with less than 20 hours without entering the abyss. If it does not work I'll start a new game and see if I can get into Abyss, if it does not work again, I'll contact the game support.
Thank you all for your help...

Did you just never pick it up? Is it possible that you defeated Hornet and walked away?

I fought with the Hornet, I got off, I got the Kings Branding, when I left I was buried and then Hornet saved me. I've done it in two different saves and both I stopped at Door to Abyss. After that I did a check in the files and saw that it had two corrupted files, I changed the files to still, I could not open the door. I reinstalled the game and continued from where I had saved the game and still could not open the door to the abyss. Now I'm starting a new game to see if I can get through the door, if I can not, I'm going to open a ticket in the game support.

Good afternoon everyone, just passing by to tell you that I was able to solve my problem with Door to Abyss, the mark is in the inventory of the knight. I found it strange because in my game I did 104% it's not there, so it was normal for me. As soon as I took Isma's Tear I went straight to fight the Hornet, I did as I always do, I got the King's Branding, I was buried and saved by the hornet as it always happens. After I regained control of the knight, I opened the inventory and there was King's Branding, so I ran to the door to see if it was all right now, and when I got there, the door opened.
Again, many thanks to all who helped me. Now you can do 100% of the game with less than 20 hours.
PS: Sorry for my English, I'm Brazilian and I had google help to write here.

Glad to hear you were able to get past that point now.

So it really was a case of triggering the event again, good to know you've gotten it working.

You must have the Kingsoul equipped, for anyone who comes wondering. 0 to do with the Brand.

OP was talking about the door in Ancient Basin with an image of the King's Brand on it, the one that leads to the Abyss.
It's impossible to have Kingsoul before opening that door, because Shade Cloak is behind it, which is required to have to beat Traitor Lord and meet White Lady, who gives one of the fragments.

What you're probably talking about is the path at the bottom of the Abyss that opens up if you have Kingsoul equipped.
