Redento

"Prithee taketh nay affront in my not looking at thy visage, for we at each moment lean forth, so as not to divert our eyes from the path. Such is our olde precept."

**Redento** is a Genuflecting Pilgrim, appearing leaning forward with his hands tied behind his back and an object around his neck, weighing his head down. His feet are also tied together by a length of rope. He mentions that he is on pilgrimage and each time he is interacted with, he will complain of an obstacle in his way.

Redento is encountered five times throughout the game:

* He is first seen in Mountains of the Endless Dusk, just before the descent into Jondo. He wishes to cross the valley but cannot as the moving platforms must be activated first. After activating these moving platforms and speaking to him again, he will gift the Fourth Toe Made of Limestone.

* The next time he is found in the Brotherhood of the Silent Sorrow, after entering from the **Mountains of The Endless Dusk**. He complains about a wall blocking the way. Inside the door next to him is a challenge room, and going through it will lead to the other side of the wall so it can be broken, thus **Redento** can pass through.

* Then he can be found again in Wasteland of the Buried Churches, in the last outdoor section before the Bridge of the Three Calvaries. He is standing in front of a section of spikes and will not be able to pass unless the tree on the other side of the spikes is felled. He will gift the Little Toe Made of Limestone when talking to him after the tree has been felled.

* Afterwards, he can be found at the Patio of the Silent Steps before the entrance to the Mother of Mothers. An Amargura blocks his way, and he will gift the Big Toe Made of Limestone after killing the enemy and speaking with him again. He can also interact with Cleofas depending on how his quest line is played.

* Lastly, he can be found in the Mother of Mothers, in the room on far right with statue of the **First Pilgrim**. His dialogue indicates that this is not his final destination once the statue is moved. To move the statue, equip all three toes **Redento** has given and the secret room will be revealed. Inside the room will be the Nail Uprooted from Dirt relic. Upon exiting the room, he will be gone. Enter the room again to find **Redento**'s dead body and a Knot of Rosary Rope.

The master gathered us all together, like every morning, and said: "A genuine genuflecting pilgrim must never divert their eyes from the earth they walk on. For this is our rule."

And he went on to say: "A genuine genuflecting pilgrim will always have his hands tied behind his back during his travels, as his feet are the only thing that should matter to him. For that is our rule."

Finally he said, "A genuine genuflecting pilgrim will always walk alone. It is the solitary path that will grant him constant meditation and understanding of what it means to be a pilgrim in the lands of the Miracle. For that is our rule."
Then he got up, and looked at all of us for a long time while we remained silent. Then he left, and we never saw him again.

"... And that fingernail was the one that Martyr Nicanor ripped from himself when he was buried alive between spasms of pain after a cruel torture in front of his followers who cried in silence. The fingernail barely visible among the removed dirt was picked up by the last follower, who was lamenting such a horrid event when all the others left and whose name is unknown. he wrapped it using a piece of cloth torn from his own clothes, and that same night, he went to the church whose congregation was the same one that had denounced Nicanor as a heretic, hid the fingernail among its inner bricks, and left..."

## Trivia

* Redento is a name of Latin origin that means "rescued by faith".
* Redento's role in the game, as a character repeatedly encountered being stymied by some physical obstacle that is then overcome by the player, and allowing him to continue on his journey, is partially inspired by the character Siegmeyer of Catarina from the original Dark Souls.
