Though you find it early on, the Crimson Manor is actually a bit of endgame area in Phantom Blade Zero that you'll be able to open later on.
You need the Puppet's Tongue item to unseal the door, which comes from completing The Herald's Illusion quest, finding three portals into a strange realm with a hanging puppet. Each portal opens an eye—once you have all three, he'll give you his tongue. Here's where to find each portal:
Once you head through the third portal, speak to the hanging puppet, and he'll give you his tongue to unlock the Crimson Manor, plus his Yin eye, which is related to another quest. Now, you can get inside the manor and fight the fourth acolyte for the Secrets at the Heart of the Lake quest.
