Normal: Dropped by (The Old Hunters DLC) : Brador, Church Assassin in underground cells in Nightmare Grand Cathedral using "Underground Cell Inner Chamber Key". This key is either treasure in Fishing Hamlet next to the Lighthouse Hut lamp if you didn't follow through the Simon's quest or it can be part of Simon's quest where you first need to answer the first option after talking to him on path to the Hunter's Nightmare shortcut. You'll then see him again after you use the Eye Pendant on the altar/lift just before the Research Hall. He'll ask you to kill Lady Maria. Finally you'll meet him in the Lighthouse Hut in Fishing Hamlet and you will receive the key after the dialogue.
