Inquisitor Schedule and Witch Hill Pyre Logistics
Meeting the Grand Inquisitor on Mars Day and fulfilling his logistical execution demands.
Every Wrath Day, the Grand Inquisitor and his detachment of holy guards march up Witch Hill to conduct public trials. He stands beside the grand stone executioner pyre from sunrise until dusk, overseeing valley orthodoxy.
To earn his cooperation, you must supply basic fuel and propaganda. Chopping 20 firewood bundles at your Sawhorse and printing 10 church flyers at Church Desk I satisfies his opening demands, unlocking the fertile soil of the Witch Hill Vineyard.
| Inquisition Task | Materials Required | Preparation Station | Strategic Reward Granted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firewood Supplies | 20 Firewood Bundles | Workyard Sawhorse | +10 Friendship, permits vineyard entry |
| Church Propaganda | 10 Church Flyers | Church Desk I (Paper + Ink) | +15 Friendship, unlocks festival crowd |
| Concession Stand | 5 Planks, 2 Nails, 1 Awning | Summit Construction Plot | Unlocks burger & beer festival sales |
| Festival Feasts | 5 Burgers, 10 Gold Beer | Cooking Table II & Brewery | +25 Friendship & massive silver profit |
| Town Gate Pass | Direct dialogue request | Witch Hill Summit Altar | Unlocks legal entry to The Town |
Completing the concession stand turns Wrath Day into one of your highest weekly revenue spikes, netting silver coins while advancing the main quest.
Bake Burgers using 2 Bread, 1 Baked Meat (from autopsy or cows), and 1 Onion. Eating a burger grants a +15% physical damage buff for dungeon crawling.
Witch Hill Vineyard and Dark Tech Anatomy Authorization
Cultivating grapes for communion wine and unlocking forbidden mortuary research.
Gaining access to the Witch Hill Vineyard transforms your stamina economy. Planting red grapevines on the terraced hillside allows you to press high-grade Red Wine, the best stamina-restoring item in the entire game.
In Act III, the Inquisitor discovers cursed corpses entering your morgue and officially authorizes you to extract Dark Organs (Dark Hearts, Brains, and Intestines), unlocking the forbidden branch of the Anatomy tech tree.
| Vineyard & Tech Unlock | Requirements | Associated NPC | Long-Term Gameplay Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vineyard Plots | Complete Firewood Quest | Grand Inquisitor | Enables wine brewing & zombie vine farming |
| Dark Tech Anatomy | Attain 50 Inquisitor Trust | Inquisitor & Snake | Reveals and permits extraction of Dark Organs |
| Town Gate Pass | Deliver Burgers & Beer | Grand Inquisitor | Permits transit into all 4 Town districts |
| Inquisition Finale | Abyss Vault Floor 15 | Corrupted Shade | Unlocks Ending C (Inquisitorial Empire) |
The Inquisitor's questline serves as the ultimate narrative bridge between rural cemetery duties and metropolitan Town politics.
Do not attempt to position zombie workers on Witch Hill summit, as the holy guards will confiscate automated corpses on sight.
Witch Hill Concessions & The Burning Festival Economy
Monetizing public execution spectacles through food concessions and Royal Guard approval.
The Inquisitor's Sunday burnings on Witch Hill draw dozens of hungry spectators from the village and outer townships. Recognizing the commercial opportunity, the Inquisitor grants you permission to erect a Beverage and Snack Tent at the foot of the viewing bleachers.
Stocking this concession stand with Quality Burgers and Mugs of Beer yields immense silver revenue during public events. Each burning generates up to 4 Silver in direct food sales, while satisfying the crowd's festive hunger raises your Inquisitorial trust score by +10 points per event, rapidly unblocking the Dark Senses mortuary tech.
