See whether a visit to the Sedletz Monastery is in order with our review…

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Mysteria Ecclesiae DLC Review

Mysteria Eccleasiae kicks off with the Royal Physician looking for help at a local monastery.

A new disease is ravaging its citizens, with Henry recruited to help find the cause.

Upon arrival, there is a fear that the Black Death is creeping into the area.

After investigation, something doesn’t quite seem right…but it definitely isn’t the plague.

Before you even get a chance to figure out where the disease originates, more deaths happen and more sickness spreads.

The Monastery is then put in lockdown – no one can enter or leave. With Henry locked in to help the sick, it’s a race against the clock to save those you can – all while also not falling ill across its approximately six to eight hour runtime.

How safe is it to be working around this illness anyway?

New to Mysteria Ecclesiae is a plague doctor mask-like hood. Players can craft a mask and stuff it with herbs that keep the air clean.

Do be warned that sickness can occur if there’s too much messing around – best to avoid that.

On top of catching this disease, all of Henry’s weapons are taken at the offset of Mysteria Ecclesiae.

During the quarantine, players will have to sneak around the knights patrolling the area, as leaving the infirmary is off-limits.

As someone who often complains about stealth sections, this proved to be pretty easy. Sneak was a 9 upon arrival, and I avoided capture by the knights. One could very likely kill a knight with an arm yourself – but why would you?

Even with everything else happening, Mysteria Ecclesiae features plenty of side quests. Upon arrival, people have plenty of tasks for Henry to do. Many quests provide good background to the area and the time period.

One side quest in Mysteria Ecclesiae even features crayfish hunting!

Needless to say, there is plenty of variety in the quests.

While Mysteria Ecclesiae’s new map isn’t massive, but it still very detailed nonetheless.

The inside of the church is huge – complete with a crypt! – along with a large courtyard ripe for exploration.

The whole area is lore-heavy, with books and scrolls to read. The gardens themselves also full of all sorts of flowers.

If you’ve ever wondered what a medieval monastery from the 1400s would be like, this is as close as you’ll get.

It’s also NOTHING like the annoying monastery mission from the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance – Mysteria Ecclesiae is a noticeable improvement.

Mysteria Ecclesiae’s one major knock is that there’s very little combat, focusing more on its story elements.

Whether one is a fan of medieval mysteries or just looking for more Henry exploits, Mysteria Ecclesiae and its secrets of the church provide another great adventure.
