The Wall of the Holy Prohibitions is the prison of the Church. From petty thieves to chronic heretics, those who have insulted the Church, whether through words or actions, rot away in these cells. The sadistic Inquisitor watches over them, searching for salvation in brutally creative methods of torture.
This area lies west of the Archcathedral Rooftops, and there is a shortcut to the Convent of Our Lady of the Charred Visage via a lift, which can be accessed using the Key of the High Peaks. This lift will reveal a new area in the Convent.
There are numerous jail cells, many of which are interconnected and require keys to unlock. The keys in question are the Key of the Secular, Key of the Scribe, and Key of the Inquisitor. The first two can be obtained within the area and the latter can be purchased from the merchant Candelaria in The Sleeping Canvases. One of the locked cells that requires the Key of the Inquisitor has Cleofas in it if The Penitent One chose the second option in Cleofas's quest.
There is a chalice of Oil of the Pilgrims and Confessor Statue in this area.
The boss Quirce, Returned by the Flames is located here and will catch The Penitent One off guard by having set up a trap floor that breaks into his lair below. After the boss fight, Deogracias will be outside the exit of the boss room, and will tell of Quirce's backstory if spoken to.
