How To Beat The Sister Of Mercy
Throughout your journey in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, you will encounter all manner of psychopaths trying to cut you apart. Most are fairly easy to deal with, but you’ll occasionally run into monsters that take a bit more work to send to the afterlife.
One of these is the Sister of Mercy, a deformed cult member who tried to separate Aiden from the Genesis Configuration. With nowhere left to run, you finally get to have your showdown with her. Here is how to defeat this boss and what you get for your trouble.
Before you enter this fight, do a bit of preparation. The Sister of Mercy remains in the air for the vast majority of the battle, making her extremely difficult to hit with melee weapons. You’ll want enough weapons and ammo to actually kill her.
I strongly recommend the Revolver and Shotgun loaded with Dragon’s Breath rounds. The shotgun’s fire will set her on fire, causing her to panic and flail for several seconds. The Revolver, with its low rate of fire but high damage, is ideal for single‑target boss fights.
When the fight starts, move onto the upper levels that surround the main dance floor. The floor eventually becomes covered in blood, which restricts movement and isn’t ideal for fighting. Still, there are breakable crates down in the blood that contain ammo, so check them if you need bullets.
Once you’re on the elevated walkway, use your shotgun to set the Sister of Mercy on fire, then switch to the revolver for critical headshots. Alternatively, you can use the Genesis Configuration to rip saws or spikes from the environment and throw them at her for decent damage.
Her attacks consist of dive‑bombing you, retreating, and launching projectiles in three waves. The latter is her main move: she conjures knives and tosses them your way. You can grab the knives mid‑air with the Genesis Configuration and hurl them back, or shoot through them—though that wastes ammo.
After taking enough damage, the room turns blood‑red and she vanishes. Get to a corner, equip your shotgun, wait for her silhouette, and shoot when she approaches. This damages and scares her, causing the same attack to repeat two more times. When she finally collapses, run up and use the Hell Chain ability to rip half of her limbs off.
You’ll repeat the previous phase. Stay on the raised area, keep lighting her on fire whenever possible, and use the four large pillars to block ranged moves. Remember that each dive‑bomb can split a pillar in two.
When she collapses a second time, rip her arms off, then use the Genesis Configuration to chip away at the shield she forms. Her attacks become limited to ranged options, making her easy to handle.
After enough damage, she falls for a final time, allowing you to perform an execution and permanently kill her. As a reward, you earn her heart to feed to Sunny and a valuable item worth a few hundred coins.
