Church of the Cuckoo
The Church of the Cuckoo is a little prayer hall with pews and birdcages near the entrance of the Academy of Raya Lucaria. The academy’s knights and scholars once came here to worship.
It is not a peaceful visit. A single sorcerer waits by the altar, and four Marionette Soldiers drop from the ceiling in pairs to ambush you. Clear them out and loot the bodies by the altar.
There is also an illusory wall here: strike the first panel on the right wall at the back of the room to reveal a hidden burial chamber full of stone coffins, with a Rune Arc on a corpse inside.
