Sister of Mercy done quick & painless

[Sylver001]

Hey guys, 

 

do you belong to the ones, who studied the guide and still missed this damn trophy, cause you forgott to do some unimportant tiny thing?

 

Well, here is your revelation, after hours and two desperate playthroughs I finally found an ultimate solution to this problem. What now follows is a Copy & Paste of my Ultimate Speedrun guide, I posted at the Larian Forum earlier this day.  =o)

 

The worst of all trophies can be done in less then 1 hour! After my desperate missed try yesterday, I continued my research on the internet and found this:

You will only battle once against the invading Orcs in front of Cyceal, the first encounter with Leandra can be skipped with Walk in Shadows.

- beginn a new game on easy

- you need a Scoundrel / Hydrosophist with: Walk in Shadows + Rain (you have to cross burning ground on the way to Silverglen)

And a whatever class with Charm + Politician talent (a few rock paper scissor dialogs)

- couldn't be bad to get 1350 gold by sneaking, stealing and selling for Archibalds troll toll ;o)

- you get Madora

- you do just the following 5 conversations in this order:

1. Thelyon and the healing stone
2. homestead (after return, you get the first pyramid from Ahru, get the second as well, which makes traveling for the rest of the group possible)
3. charming orc no kill
4. east gate, female soldier about the ballista (zapper thing)
5. grieving orc

- then go to cemetery talk to Eglandaer and follow him to the King Crab Inn. Talk to him about Victoria, then with your partner to get forgiving trait.

- sneak to hunters edge. (Long way, Silverglen desert and goblin village)

- go to Norok and voila Bling Bling, just got it.

Good to know: Local Co-Op gives this Trophy to BOTH players!


With a bit trial and error (hadn't Rain with silly me.. , got on the burning ground and got spotted once) my try took about 1:06h! Absolutely easy going! =oD

For source hunters, the origin source for this edited little guide can be found here:

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum...ster-mercy.html

 

And for the logical understanding I wrote this:

 

After getting this Trophy I finally understand the logic behind Madora.

She is build in 2 ways:

1.Her attitude which makes her being merciless which will be negated with the forgiving trait.

2. Her personal believes (paranoid) which is stacked by 5 Stages and with each CORRECT answer in her personal dialogs you can negate 1 negative point towards trustfull (as I would call it)

With this in mind, the "famous" list with the 11 points contains definitely 3 WRONG answers and can only succed if followed by 100% or missing out the WRONG answers. 

 

 

Enjoy the Game =)

The list I provided in my guide from the "famous list" netted me the trophy. I understand the game is tedious and a speed run guide is helpful, so thanks for posting.

I wouldn't call it tedious, the game itself is marvelous, it is just this one trophy, which can be annoying, cause if you concentrate on the story, or a special gamestyle it is total easy to miss. But with this additional guide together with the longer one it doesn't matter anymore for any kind of players. Sister of Mercy 4 everyone ^^

I added your forum post link into the trophy guide for Sister of Mercy. Thanks for contributing this alternative, easier method.

The guide didn't work for me but I believe that was because whenever I spoke with Madora my characters didn't agree on the options I picked, so it is imperative that they both agree with the selection that is required for the trophy otherwise when you get to Novak Madora doesn't forgive him.

 

With that in mind, the step by step guide above worked a treat and takes around an hour if you happen to miss the trophy whilst on your honour run.

Did you play with your partner being an AI? I'm surprised anyone does lol.

Aye, I would have loved to have played it co-op but the trophies only unlock for the host.

You can play by yourself and control both the main characters. 

 

EDIT: As well as the other characters you take with you I guess.

Thanks for this super quick guide missed this in my playthroughs somehow, can confirm this method is nice and easy and works a treat

[Kaph-]

Thank you so much for this guide. Somehow I missed this trophy twice... during my tactician and honour runs. 

This game is awesome, but this trophy was such a pain...

Thanks again!

[KAdamsy1]

worked like a charm cheers

[Ta3iapxHs]

This guide, with some help from the more analytical ones, is a must to get this ?. Worked great!

[Eternal21]

Thanks for posting this.  Here's a video walkthrough I found in the other thread.  It's 1 hour long start to finish, and works:

For those still playing this on the PS4 (2021), I can confirm this works. I've been following @Kallume's guide, and somehow missed this trophy. I believe where most people end up going awry is during the "Charmed, I'm Sure" quest, where you have to decide the fate of the charmed Orc in the Cyseal harbour warehouse. Although it is tempting to kill the Orc for the "better resolution" to the quest, it is actually advisable to keep her alive. This was the only thing I changed, and was able to get Sister of Mercy  , otherwise, Kallume's guide is great, and also thanks @Sylver001 for the awesome tip.

Looks like I need to get around to updating the guide. Thanks everyone for finding solutions to some gaps for this trophy.

I did this during my honour run since I failed in my first run, worked nicely. Also there’s a safer road to get to Hunter’s edge, when you reach Lucalla got directly to Silverglen, kill Loic the priest in the immaculate church (preferably invisible, I was using the heavy chest exploit so it was a one hit kill) grab the key to the cellar on his corpse, there’s a portal there that takes you in the vicinity of Sacred stone. From there it’s pretty fast and fightless to reach the rope bridge toward Phantom forest.

There's an even easier way to do this, you can skip the stealth and stealing parts entirely. Have your character become invulnerable through the god mode exploit and they can run over any obstacle and ignore the troll and any enemies. When you first meet Arhu after the orc fight, buy his stock of resurrection scrolls. Once you get to the troll ,summon your party with the teleporter items and let him kill them. Then proceed to the next area with your god mode character making you skip the need to pay the Troll. Once you're in the area past the bridge just resurrect your party and then proceed like normal. The god mode exploit can be undone by saving and reloading.
