Jibrael

"One Amanecida has already awoken, which is why the Saeta is already resounding.The Amanecidas of the Miracle await you."

This new character, ***Jibrael***, was added in the Stir of Dawn free DLC. He is a tall, slouching man with arms tied by what appears to be a bronze bugle. His first location is Petrous, which is accessed after the very first Prie Dieu in The Holy Line.

Before entering the cave where Jibrael presides, The Penitent One will give the Petrified Bell, the rite of access for the DLC. To go in, The Penitent One must be in True Torment mode by ascending the save file. Once inside, Jibrael will state how he is held captive by the Miracle as he is the anointed messenger of the Saeta. He tells The Penitent One that dawn will occur in time and so will the Amanecidas of the Miracle. Once leaving, Deogracias will stand in utter disbelief of how The Penitent One has awakened an ancient force.

## Jibrael Locations

Jibrael appears in six currently known locations, Petrous, Convent of Our Lady of the Charred Visage (straight left of the second Prie Dieu in a completely new room), bottommost left room of the new area Echoes of Salt, Archcathedral Rooftops left of the first Prie Dieu where Cleofas commits suicide, Wall of the Holy Prohibitions near Quirce, Returned By The Flames (In the bottom left area guarded by a lionheart, must complete short puzzle), and finally the Hall of the Dawning.

The Penitent One ***must go to Petrous first to activate all other spots. Jibrael has a signature asset to where he is, there will be tree limbs with lanterns in them to depict where he is as well.***

At every meeting after Petrous, ***Jibrael*** will ask The Penitent One if they would want to make the bronze sing. Choosing yes will prompt ***Jibrael*** to blow on their trumpet arm, allowing access to one of the Amanecidas of the Miracle, as a cutscene will play as a coffin raises from somewhere nearby in that area.

## Coffin Locations

Singing Bronze in the Archcathedral Rooftops will prompt the coffin to raise where Redento would be in the Patio of the Silent Steps, where The Penitent One can interact with to fight one of the Amanecidas of the Miracle, Amanecida of the Chiselled Steel.

Singing Bronze in the Wall of the Holy Prohibitions will prompt the coffin to raise where The Penitent One would be flanked by two Wardens of the Silent Sorrow, where The Penitent One can interact with to fight one of the Amanecidas of the Miracle, Amanecida of the Molten Thorn.

Singing Bronze in the Convent of Our Lady of the Charred Visage will cause the coffin to appear in a new area. Requires Three Gnarled Tongues and Blood Perpetuated in Sand. Where The Penitent One usually finds Tentudia's Skeletal Remains, there will be a new tree root to jump on. Making this tree grow is finiky and The Penitent One may have to cling on to the tree above it at the last pixel in order for the one under it to grow. This is where The Penitent One can interact with to fight one of the Amanecidas of the Miracle, Amanecida of the Bejeweled Arrow.

Singing Bronze in the Echoes of Salt will cause the coffin to raise in the middle of the railway in Jondo, the one used by Redento when first meeting him, where The Penitent One can interact with to fight one of the Amanecidas of the Miracle, Amanecida of the Golden Blades.

I am called Jibrael, held captive by the Ancient Miracle's plans since my arms grew, since the first creak of my crooked neck.
The Miracle named me messenger of the Saeta. Yes... The Saeta is the song, the genuine, pure melody... And very, very old...
It has the power to make the roots of the Miracle unearth the hidden depths, what has already been forgotten, where the truly forbidden sleeps, that which awaits you...
But we find ourselves in a mere abandoned chamber. After our encounter, the Miracle will take me where the Saeta will be able to resonate in all its grace.
 **Second Encounter** | Penitent One, the moment has arrived. It is your choice that I sound this bugle that weighs down my arms and twists my spine.
It is your choice that its bronze exhumes the crystal tombs where the Amanecidas await you.
 **Declining to Make The Bronze Sing** | Oh... I can wait...
 **Third Encounter** | The Ancient Miracle never forgot the Five... It bound them by its holy whim, it cursed them, it condemned them. Yes... it has kept them asleep in case it needed them. And now it needs them.
 **Fourth Encounter** | The same Grievous Will that allows you to see my bent and warped body is what has allowed you to enter the Gallery of the Five Dawns
The time for the opening of the mirror sarcophagus grows near...
the Five guarded the Twisted One whenever he was paraded in public, when he still lived in that divine prison of pain and piety, supported on and rooted in a tree, between sobs and cracks.
 **Fifth Encounter** | The passion of Laudes, the first Amanecida, was immense. Such was her devotion to the Twisted One that her body was unable to bear it
One night, she felt the pores of her skin open, and her very passion began to exit through them, taking the form of liquid gold.
In that long night, that fine thread was woven by the High Will, creating the bodies of the other four women. They are nothing but the very passion of Laudes incarnate.
The Miracle was jealous... Yes... It was jealous of that unmeasured passion toward the Twisted One of Laudes, and of her four replicas, her four reflections. It wanted all that devotion for itself.
Thus it took the Amanecidas and buried them deep in glass sarcophagi that contained all of that excessive fervour. It condemned them to wait until The Miracle reclaimed them freely.
Do you want to make the bronze sing?

## Cutscenes

Starting from the third meeting after Petrous, a cutscene will play upon talking to ***Jibrael***, which has one still image and one line of text respectively.

The first still cutscene depicts the man who merged with the tree, guarded by the five Amanecidas of the Miracle. ***Jibrael*** describes how this was noteworthy to the Saeta, and how this man meant much to the ancient Miracle.

The second still cutscene depicts a devout follower of the Saeta being copied into four "mirror reflections" which thus created the Amanecidas of the Miracle. The Miracle as well was *very* jealous over the devotion over the Saeta.

## Final Meeting

**Jibrael**, after the death of Laudes, the First of the Amanecidas, will be in the Hall of the Dawning mirror room. he bows profusely, banging his head on the floor every so often. He is hoping that he will see Laudes on the other side of the dream now that she has served her sentence. **Jibrael** then disappears, and after a moment the Penitent One can hear him say "Great happiness awaits me".
