Mercy Dreams is a location in Cvstodia found as part of the larger area outside the large door guarding the Mother of Mothers. It is most directly reached through the Wasteland of the Buried Churches, but can also be accessed through the Desecrated Cistern, and The Sleeping Canvases. It is visited by the Penitent One as part of his journey to acquire the three humiliations.
Profile[]
Mercy Dreams appears to be an old prison, with cells, chains, and crumbling walls throughout the area. Although the main path is a relatively short and simple descent of stairs, it is blockaded by multiple gates that must be unlocked to proceed. This forces the Penitent One to go through divergent paths filled with an array of deadly traps and monstrous guards which obstacle his path to the switches that open the gates for easier travel.
Amongst the contraptions that impede the Penitent One are spear mechanisms that periodically rise up, evidenced by the puddles of blood around their vicinity. Golden devices installed on the walls which expel green orbs of magic damage can be found deeper in the dungeon and sometimes intermixed with the spear traps to make the travel more difficult. Mercy Dreams is notorious for having a decent amount of hidden rooms which must be found by destroying walls.
The merchant Candelaria can be found here, in the hall that connects Mercy Dreams and Desecrated Cistern. She is selling Key to the Chamber of the Eldest Brother, Hollow Pearl, and Moss Preserved in Glass. the Penitent One will likely also encounter Viridiana for the first time here, who offers her assistance against Ten Piedad the area's guardian whose defeat allows the Penitent One to carry out one of the necessary three humiliations.
A Confessor Statue and Chapel of Travel can also be found in this area.
