Our Lady of Pepetual Agony: What's she for?

[Monollock]

Title pretty much, I've got marks and I've got the option of killing her but I'm really hesitant on doing either, no idea waht it affects and it seems like one of those choices that'll bite you in the long run. Someone shed some light on this please.

[Demajen]

She affects how you interact with the NPC Cleofás next to her.

If you give her all three marks, she will disappear and he will be happy but feeling left without purpose. He will head up to the Cathedral rooftops and stand next to an edge, feeling lost.

If, before you find him up there, you head down to Ludovico in town (the window in the church who wants you to collect remains) he will mention Cleofás and give you an item to give to him. If you do so, this will save Cleofás' life and he will head to the church and teach you a prayer.

If you don't get the cord, Cleofás will throw himself off the rooftops the second time you enter the screen.

If you put the lady out of her misery rather than giving her the marks, Cleofás will leave as before, but this time he'll head up into the jails where you can find him if you have the Key of the Inquisitor. Give him the cord there and he will head down as before.

So really, the Lady of Perpetual Agony is a trigger for a quest.

[Monollock]

So either way it's to get a prayer? am I reading that right? I've got the cord already and 2/3 of the marks.

[mayonnaise on an escalator]

Yeah, it doesn't really matter which path you choose, the important part is saving Cleofas or not.

[Monollock]

Damn. That's deep.
