How to Beat the Sister of Mercy in Hellraiser: Revival

The Sister of Mercy

First, a stealth section. When she takes the box, you must cross her hall and climb to a hole at the top without being caught; being caught is an instant game over. Hide behind pillars and throw bottles to distract her. A detour left along the lower floor leads to an inventory upgrade.

The fight. She stays in the air, so melee alone will not work.

1. Go up to the walkways: the dance floor floods with blood, although its crates hold ammo.
2. Set her on fire with the shotgun, then switch to the Revolver for headshots. Thrown saws and spikes also work.
3. When she throws knives, stop and dodge. You can grab knives out of the air with the box and throw them back, and doing so also breaks her blade shield.
4. At about two-thirds and one-third health the room turns red. Back into a corner and shoot her as she comes at you.
5. When she drops, use Hellchains as prompted. Finish her and take the Sister of Mercy’s Whip.

One fan wiki recommends blunt melee weapons here; PowerPyx, TheGamer and Thumb Wars all point to ranged weapons, because she rarely comes within reach.

Preparation for the Sister of Mercy

• Dragon Breath Rounds (shotgun, 360 coins at the second shop after you get the Statue’s Head): sets bosses on fire with every shot.
• Revolver (300 coins, same shop): high single-target damage, which TheGamer recommends for bosses.
• Shotgun ammo does the most damage to bosses, according to PowerPyx.
• Break every crate in an arena before you trigger the fight, and set traps in advance if you use them.
• Turn on the boss health bar in the interface settings if you want to see progress; see difficulty and assists.
