After arriving in this room and offering your blood to the statue, the door behind you will lock, forcing you to progress into the next room. Upon entering this room, you will be faced with a unique combat battle – against clones of yourself andyour party members. This means that these clones will have the same powerful weapons and abilities that you have equipped with your party, so you’ll need to be smart in how you approach each enemy. If you can, you should focus on punishing any significant weaknesses your characters may have; for example, closing in on a squishy caster with your tank, and then downing them with multiple attacks.
After successfully defeating each of the clones and completing the battle, head up the stairs to the middle section of the floor. Next to the brazier, you will notice a ring lying on the ground, dropped by your clone.
This ring is Killer’s Sweetheart, so go ahead and pick it up to add to your inventory or equip it with one of your builds. After equipping it to a character, they will now gain the passive Executioner skill enabling you to score an automatic critical hit on your next attack after killing an enemy, once perShort Rest.
