"There are few of us who still care for the sick and ailing. With devout kisses, we bless the wounds of those who seek our protection, thus both we and they remain at the mercy of the Miracle. - Tirso"
Tirso is a Kisser of Wounds found in Albero.
He asks the Penitent One to bring him 6 Healing Herbs (quest); Bouquet of Thyme, Bouquet of Rosemary, Dried Clove, Incense Garlic, Olive Seeds, and Sooty Garlic. Each Herb delivered to Tirso will protect all of the Kissers through one of 6 Boss Events.
The 6 Bosses that are related to this quest are; Ten Piedad, Our Lady of the Charred Visage, Tres Angustias, Exposito, Melquiades, and Quirce. It is possible to give Tirso the Herbs in bulk; if you give 3 Herbs to Tirso at one time the Kissers will be protected for the next 3 Boss fights. 1 Herb is consumed for each Boss defeated.
The first reward for this quest is the Linen Cloth, which will either be given to the Penitent One in return for an Herb, or it will be found near the grave of the first Kisser who dies if the Penitent fails to deliver an Herb before defeating one of the six main game bosses. Graves are located to the right of the Church in Albero. Tears of Atonement are awarded for subsequent Herbs give to Tirso.
This quest has several possible outcomes based on the Penitent One's actions. These outcomes are primarily cosmetic and only reflect the number of Kissers that have died. The final check for this quest occurs when you defeat all 6 of the Bosses related to the quest and talk to Tirso. If all of the Kissers survive the player will earn the Mediterranean Diet achievement by talking to Tirso. A Knot of Rosary Rope will be awarded to the player after the resolution of the quest whether they have delivered any Herbs to Tirso or not.
In order to protect the Kissers and earn the Mediterranean Diet Achievement the Penitent One must deliver one Herb for each of the 6 Bosses.
Giving Tirso all 6 Herbs and saving the Kissers is not required to obtain the Knot of Rosary Rope.
If too many Kissers died, Tirso will leave Cvstodia.
Trivia[]
- Tirso and the Kissers of Wounds are inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, who took care of, lived with, and befriended lepers. It is also said that he kissed them on the forehead without fear of being infected, hence the name given to this brotherhood.

|---|---|
| First Encounter | Sorrowful be the Heart, Penitent One. Welcome to Albero, sanctuary to this humble brotherhood of the Kissers of Wounds.
Few remain here who can still employ it, but Tirso is my name. There are few of us who still care for the sick and ailing. With devout kisses, we bless the wounds of those who seek our protection, thus both we and they remain at the mercy of the Miracle. |
| Talking Again | Time outside these walls passes by strangely, in sundowns we need not contemplate.
But if your penance happens to carry you under said skies, be so kind as to bring us some ingredients for our ointments. The will in the Miracle shall show you which ones they are. |
| Greeting | Sorrowful be the Heart, Penitent One full of clemency. |
| After Given First Herb | Merciful be, Penitent One. With your contribution, the work of this brotherhood carries on. |
| Talking | The Virtuous Pain flogs us time after time. Oh! When will it be satisifed? |
| After Giving All Herbs | The Miracle has been merciful to us.
As long as this brotherhood has brothers, even if just one, there will be hope for the ill. Take this as a token of gratitude, Penitent One in piety. |
| Missing Description. | The Miracle is taking us away, one after the other. Could we avoid this fate that is imposed on us from the High Wills? |
| Missing Description. | Penitent One, where will we go, afflicted and devout, when the sun of life sets on us? |
| Missing Description. | That which you carry with you... You have embraced...punishment, Penitent One. Is it your desire for the Miracle to keep you in mind more than the rest of us?
It is not my responsibility, but beware of the twisted paths where that communion will lead you. |
| Missing Description. | How many more trials must we overcome?
We will soon be reunited with the Punishment and with the punished on the way of the Old Processions, on the other side of the Dream. |
