Misérables

Misérables is an enigmatic entity located at the outskirts of New Kyrsa in the Second Layer, found in a valley behind a fence near large shrine-activated door. It holds a close resemblance and connection to Deep Owls.
==Description==
Upon interaction with the player, Misérables has the ability to grant wishes to the player, similarly to the Shrine of Yun'Shul inside Scyphozia, indicated by two dialogue options:
* I seek power in my upcoming battles.
** Grants additional 30% damage boost towards Scion of Ethiron for the duration of the run at the cost of 5 Kyrsan Medallions. Lacking these funds and agreeing to the trade will kill you instantly.
*** Doing this transaction multiple times in the same run does not yield any additional damage.
* I seek clarity. 
** Grants a Yun'Shul wish and removes the Tarnished flaw from the player at the cost of 15 Knowledge.
*** If you already have a wish, you can hold multiple at the same time. The transaction costs 5 more Knowledge for each wish you already have; it will cost 30 Knowledge for the 4th wish if you have 3.
Players can choose any amount of wishes per expedition. Misérables ONLY kills you if you lack the medallion funds for his power boost.

==Dialogue==
"A rose, a cornflower, and perhaps a hyacinth appear to me in a dream. Amidst the field, only one can bloom to its fullest. What shall I pick?" (Choose Any)
# Rose
# Cornflower
# Hyacinth
"What a charming choice. With this flower, what shall I do?" (Choose Any)
# Relax
# Frolic
# Eat
*The sharp blue eyes narrow, glaring at you coldly. An unnerving sensation crawls up your spine, as your mind twists and turns.* "Is that all? A dull life. Dull choices made by dull humans, befit of only the dullest minds. You should seek peace of mind. Peace of mind, mouse. (Choose Any)
1-50. Peace of mind, friend.
*Their expression relaxes, as if the tension has been released.* "That's the spirit, my dull, dull friend. Now, tell me. What do you seek? Surely, my new friend wouldn't have come here just to check in on me? I think we both know just how selfish your kind are. Tell me, what are you here for?"
# I seek power in my upcoming battles.
# I seek clarity. 
Power:
[1] "Power, you say? I can only offer it toward a great foe, one much larger then yourself. For the price of, hm, let's say, 5 Kyrsan Medallions."
# I'm interested.
# Why Kyrsan Medallions?
[2] "My kind. We have need of these perspectives. The products of mind. These medallions... You could think of them as the crystallisation of the Kyrsan perspective, no? Truly fascinating. Are you interested?
# I'm interested.
"Very well. Show me your bounty then, friend. Five will do. If you lack the coin, or claim to, I'll simply search for it within your dear spine. Pray, you wouldn't want that, no? Show me your bounty."
If enough Medallions:
# Nevermind, maybe later.
(Nothing Happens)
# Here are the coins. (5 Kyrsan Medallions)
"Wise friend... Cleanse their bones with this strength."
If not enough Medallions:
# Nevermind, maybe later.
# Here are the coins. (5 Kyrsan Medallions)
"I shall search your s-" (Dialogue cut by Death)
Clarity:
"Ah... Clarity. Yes. The most selfish of desires... To reorder all within your perspective. Very well.. perhaps for a splinter of that perspective, I can resolve the conflict in your soul. Perhaps then your deepest desires will be clear to you once more?"
# I'm interested in that.
"Do you have the knowledge within you then, my dull friend? (15 + (Wishes *5)) shards will do. My kin grow hungry..."
# Take it. 
If enough Knowledge:
"Now... Good. The veil is placed over your eyes once more. You will see things as you wish. Perhaps with a clearer mind, you might again request deals with those beyond you..."
If not enough Knowledge:
"Ah. I pity you. You lack the perspective. I pity you, little one. Poor dull little mouse. Is it not the proper thing for me to take mercy on one as pathetic as you? It is."
Loop:
"Hello once more, my dull friend. Tell me your selfish desire."
# I seek power in my upcoming battles.
# I seek clarity.

==Trivia==
* Misérables' name may be a reference to 19th century novel Les Misérables, a story which touches on the topics of moral philosophy and the nature of human society. The word "Misérables" directly translates to wretched. And of course, Misérables is a cognate for Miserable.
* He is theorized to be related to Deep Owls; both are familiar with the concept of deals and treat humans as small boring creatures like mice. Misérables especially has the power to back up his threats, whereas you can fight off a Deep Owl.
** This difference in strength between Misérables and other Deep Owls may stem from Misérables' differing choice of prey. Feeding on Kyrsgarde, as opposed to humans, likely yields a far superior meal, as shown by the Kyrsgarde's overwhelmingly superior technological innovation and splendor. Misérables himself speaks on this when asking why he seeks medallions.
* As a friendly reminder, Misérables won't kill you if you're in combat, if you select any of the [End Dialogue]'s, or lack the knowledge for Clarity. He exclusively kills you if you ask for Power without the necessary medallions.
* You can empower yourself with medallions as many times in a row as you wish despite having no effect.
* If you still have your Light Hook active, you can make your deal with Misérables and then light hook out. This method will still count your Echo task completed.
* You can use the medallions from your Inventory to Power up against Ethiron.
