Other points of interest

There is an easily overlooked ornate chest key sitting in a pew inside the temple where the Gatekeepers Head is.

Secrets

1. After passing the door locked with the rusted key, open the door to your left to enter a study full of enemies. In the back corner of the room, under the raised pathway, is a bookcase you can open. Behind it is a Porkalator (thing 2048)
2. You can strafe jump from the bridge leading to the rising platforms to an island with dragonskin bracers on it. An invisible path will appear to guide you back. (thing 2046)
3. From the same bridge, jump to a small ledge on the left. This will take you to a cave with an ornate key and a mystic urn. (thing 2102)
4. To the left of the entrance to the boss room, jump into the freezing water to find dragonskin bracers in a barred passageway underwater. (thing 2121)
