Holy Innocents’ Cemetery overview: Access, locks and Mirrors of Life
Take the bridge from Paris Streets over the Street of the Tomb Masons to reach the cemetery, where the Bone Beast attacks. In the Serpents’ Lair, look to the top-left corner for Medusa’s door. A victory over Medusa grants The Prophetess Arcana (Petrifying Gaze) and The Prophetess’s Key. Near the rubble staircase in the Serpents’ Lair, immediately right of Medusa’s door, Rusted Harpè and Aegis appears as a glowing floor pickup, not chest loot.
Several pickups are locked behind something else:
- Vampire’s Fang sits in the chained chest in the middle of the Serpents’ Lair hall. The chains drop once all five green Haunted Coffins are broken, in Cemetery Entrance, Ancient Sewers, Mass Grave, Ossuary of the Innocents and Pillaged Tombs.
- Collect Pale Thorn at the Hot Springs with Aerial Rush.
- One of the three eyes required for Mammon’s door, the Trembling Eye is located in the Pillaged Tombs.
- Defeat the Succubus of the Hall of Mirrors, then return to the Mausoleum of the Queens for the Sage Arcana and Mirror Walk. The Sage Arcana walkthrough explains that return trip.
The four Mirrors of Life are found in the Cloister, Pauper’s Grave (beside the Hollow Tree), Ancient Sewers (immediately right of the Serpents’ Lair) and the Overgrown Crypt.
