16 – Manse of the Hallowed Brothers

Location: Manse of the Hallowed Brothers
Boss(es): Abiding Defenders, Blessed Carrion Knight Sanisho

Chaos spreads where Coal strikes. Unfortunately, it’s not the mighty crushing chaos, but more the oops, oh, nope… Jump, dodge… ouch… aehm… run. I really like this area here, Hexworks have really gone the extra mile. Once I’ve kicked out all the fiends, I could imagine occupying 2-3 rooms in one of the outer wings.
I crash into a boss fight twice without actually meaning to. The first time was at a treasure chest, where the Abiding Defenders were waiting for me. The second time was on a bridge in front of a tower. It happened so quickly and spontaneously that I didn’t even manage to look at the name. It was during the video analysis that I saw the name of the very heavily perfumed man – Blessed Carrion Knight Sanisho.
I was actually just desperate for a save point… I managed it the first time – with a lot of luck.
But the fact that I was running around a bit unplanned was already apparent before the bosses, I ran past the hidden umbral staircase at least three times and didn’t know how to get ahead for a while. But this also had its advantages, as I found one or two secrets in addition to Vigor.
I’m looking forward to the next bigger boss, and I’d also like a new weapon or new spells. At the moment I don’t really know where to go. One way leads further up the mountain, another way leads to the tower.
As the tower is quite isolated, I could imagine it being a kind of bonus location. In that case, I think I would scout the tower next.
