Test of Wrath

The **Test of Wrath** is one of the Tests of Sin created by Marchionne that the player must complete in order to progress in the Insane Route. The puzzles in this test focus on the deadly sin of wrath, or extreme anger and violence.

## Appearance

The entrance of the Test of Wrath is depicted as a stained glass window of Alice surrounded by red roses. This may be because Alice has committed the most known murders and caused the most injury than any other character in the game. Red is a color that can represent extreme anger, which is what wrath is. When Mario approaches the entrance, a disembodied voice says, "Embrace thy sin of wrath to proceed."

Inside the Test of Wrath, it has a set up identical to the other Tests, with a large main room and a hallway on the right and on the left. It has a red carpet covering the floor and is filled with stained glass windows of Alice that are identical to the one seen at the entrance. The main room has several red lamps, including one in the center of the main room, There two angel statues on the opposite side of the entrance. On both the left hall and right halls are rooms with two angel statues, four columns, and a ray of light.

## In-game

**Warning: The following contains spoilers to the puzzles in the Test of Wrath. Are you willing to proceed?**

The player cannot exit through the entrance or else they will receive a Game Over. When going into one of the two rays of light, the player will be transported to another large room filled with columns and angel statues. The player will then find a knife. A disembodied voice says, "Kill, destroy, survive," as dark figures start to spawn. The player then has to kill all of the figures using the knife he or she just obtained.

Near the end, a voice calls Alice's name, and the player is taken to yet another room lined with red lamps. The voice is revealed to belong to Evie, Alice's mother. Evie reminds Alice of how the latter tortured the former. The two then express their hatred towards each other. The player is then transported to the cell Evie was killed in. After the player leaves the cell, Evie is shown in her spirit form, and her mini boss battle initiates. The player must flip all the levers in the room to open a door while avoiding the multiple Evies. Since the Evies are blind but can hear very well, it is important that the player stays as quiet as possible. Walking too much creates a significant amount of noise, and stepping on the shattered plates will only make it worse. If the noise bar is filled up all the way, Evie will catch the player, and the player will receive a Game Over.

Once all the switches are flipped, all the Evies will start to chase the player regardless of the player's noise level. The player then has to run through the unlocked door before he or she is caught and killed. After escaping, the player returns to church in the Test of Wrath. The player must then go to the other hallway and into the other ray of light. The player is again transported to another room and is again told, "Kill, destroy, survive." Then the player will again have to kill all of the spawning dark figures. After completion, the player is transported back, and can walk back down the hallway in order to progress to the Test of Greed.
