We'll sell some loot to Otto and go back to the Curio shop. Thankfully, we now are allowed to use Walk the Abyss instead of having to walk back through the entire dungeon. They always do 15 aggravated damage, regardless of stats or dots in Feral Claws. The benefit, which really does outshine the disadvantage, is that we get permanent Feral Claws as long as we have the gloves equipped. No stat bonuses or anything, and that goes for whatever shields or charms you want to equip in the left hand slot. and they make whatever weapon is currently equipped in the weapon slot useless. These gloves are equipped in the arm slots, not the weapon slot. The only time having heightened senses was useful was to see the obfuscated nosferatu, and they haven't come into play since Joseph's Tunnels. These are about as useful as that giant eyeball. More info on them coming in a little bit. Not that we have to find her heart, but the fact that we somehow know exactly where it is without any trouble. Two dots in Spirits Touch, one dot in Blood Strength, one dot in Blood Dexterity, one dot in Blood Stamina, one dot in Awaken, one dot in Torch, one dot in Fireball, one dot in Flame Ring, one dot in immolate, 19 points in intelligence, one point in strength. One dot in Blood Strength, one dot in Blood Dexterity, one dot in Blood Stamina, one dot in Awaken, one dot in Walk the Abyss, one dot in Majesty, one dot in Awe, two dots in Blood Healing, 5 points in intelligence, 11 points in strength, 5 points in dexterity, five points in stamina. One dot in Prison of Ice, two dots in Fire Storm, 15 points in intelligence, 3 points in manipulation, 5 points in dexterity, 3 points in strength, 1 point in perception. Notice that we gained 10 points in Humanity from that choice. Lucretia turns into a bunch of snakes, which slither and fade away. Prison of Ice is also effective, as always.

Then it's just a matter of hitting her until she dies.

She starts out by summoning a snake that dies in a couple hits. We'll learn more about these in a little bit. We can actually see a little bit of this room from another part of the dungeon. Indeed, this is another door to a hidden room. Notice how that wall doesn't look exactly right. This is on the first level of the dungeon. Ramc mentioned that I missed a hidden item, so let's find that before we finish talking to Lucretia.
