How to get the Crimson Key in Returnal
Before explaining how to use the Crimson Key, let's talk about where to find it. It is very likely that you will come across the door that is opened with the Crimson Key before you have it, but you may not realize it.
You can get Crimson Key In the Neglected Ruins. It can only be found in the room where you will fight the first boss of Returnal, Which is phrike.
To get the key you have to defeat the boss. We have read other sites that you can enter, take the key and run away. We assure you that this not possible. You have to kill Phrike to be able to get the Crimson Key, since it is the same one that drops it to the ground when he dies.
Once you defeat Phrike, collect the Crimson Key, which will be located in the exact place where you last hit Phrike, and take her to the room where you found the locked door that requires the Crimson Key. When you get there, you will realize that it is not a closed door, but a inactive portal.
When you approach the portal with the Crimson Key, it will activate and you will see that it becomes a portal to change biome and will take you to the next area of the game, which you will have to discover yourself.
