</>What does Unlock Arcana Blessings & Works of Mercy do?
Every arcana in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse comes with Works of Mercy: tasks such as defeating enemies, parrying, exploring areas or collecting items. Each one you finish earns a point that learns one of that arcana's blessings. This mod does that work for you. Pick one of the arcana you have in Select Arcana, or every arcana you have. Complete Works of Mercy finishes all of that arcana's unfinished ones the game is tracking right now, the same way the game finishes a task you complete, so you can spend the points on the blessings you want in the game's menu. Some only count while their arcana is equipped, so equip it first. Unlock Blessings goes further: it earns just the points the locked blessings cost, then learns all of them but the last. That last one waits for you in the game's menu, because learning it there is what makes the game play the arcana's scene, and nothing that scene does is skipped. Everything it completes or learns is part of your progress from then on and stays in your save.
</>What is Unlock Arcana Blessings & Works of Mercy?
Choose one of the arcana you have, or all of them, and the mod completes its open Works of Mercy just as if you had finished them: the game shows its usual notice and gives the blessing points. Spend those points in the game's menu yourself, or press Unlock Blessings to learn all of an arcana's blessings but the last, which you learn in the menu so the game plays its scene. Both are kept in your save like progress you earned.
</>Common questions about Unlock Arcana Blessings & Works of Mercy
What does Unlock Arcana Blessings & Works of Mercy do in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse?
It finishes Works of Mercy and learns blessings for the arcana you pick in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. Complete Works of Mercy marks every open one the game is tracking as done and hands you their blessing points. Unlock Blessings completes only as many Works of Mercy as the arcana's locked blessings need, then spends those points on every locked blessing but the last, which you learn in the game's menu. Both use the calls the game itself makes for these.
Do the Works of Mercy and blessings stay?
Yes, completed Works of Mercy and learnt blessings stay in your save. The game records them in the same lists it keeps for the ones you earn, and writes them into your save the next time it saves. Turning the mod off or uninstalling it doesn't take them back, so pick the arcana you mean in Select Arcana before you press a button.
Why were some Works of Mercy left unfinished?
The mod only completes Works of Mercy the game is tracking at that moment, so your save never holds a completion the game couldn't make itself. Some Works of Mercy only count while their arcana is equipped: equip that arcana and press the button again. A Work of Mercy the game never completes is left as it is. The reply tells you how many were left and why.
Why does Unlock Blessings leave each arcana's last blessing?
Learning an arcana's last blessing in the game's menu is what makes the game play that arcana's scene, and the game's scenes can also record story progress. So the mod doesn't learn that one for you: Unlock Blessings earns the point for every blessing by finishing a Work of Mercy for each, learns all but the last, and leaves you the point for it. Open the game's menu, learn the last blessing, and the game plays the scene as usual. If you'd rather choose every blessing yourself, use Complete Works of Mercy instead: it only gives you the points.
Why is an arcana missing from Select Arcana?
Select Arcana only lists the arcana you have in the save that's loaded, because the game only tracks Works of Mercy for arcana you have. Get the arcana in the game first, and it appears in the list a few seconds later while you play. If the list still shows only Pick an arcana and Every arcana you have, load your save and wait a moment.
Do blessings learnt this way count for achievements?
Yes, blessings learnt with Unlock Blessings count toward the game's achievements. They're learnt through the game's own blessing unlock, which the game's achievement tracking for learning every blessing listens to, so they count the same as blessings learnt in its menu. Once you've also learnt each arcana's last blessing in the menu, that achievement can unlock.
