You sure are a very brave soul, Jeff!
You arrive before the {Underground Hall of the Mad}, and insert one [Sacrificial Dagger Key] into each of the three cold, metal slots.
Items: [Sacrificial Dagger Key x3] have been removed from the Team Inventory.
Driving each of the dagger keys into the slots makes your blood run cold for just an instant. A chilling stillness fills the dismal, stone hallway for just a chilling moment before the heavy, metal door suddenly slides into the wall, revealing the tunnel further inward.
You head down the grim, stone hallway and before you lies another slaughterhouse. Blood and pieces of flayed body parts are strewn about, although it seems this series of insidious metal tools you finding hanging on the walls and on the bloodied workbenches seem to be for a whole different purpose. It begins to clue you in that Epitaph seems to be extremely particular about the way these organs and other parts are harvested to require not one but multiple specialized slaughterhouses and macabre underground workshops.
On the back wall, you see another unsettling message written in blood:
"I WILL GO TO ANY LENGTH TO BUILD AND COMPLETE MY MASTERPIECE."
As before, there are several piles of rejected, "unfit" parts and entrails here. You can only wonder what this "masterpiece" is, but you highly doubt it's anything ethical and admirable. Some of the piles have been so dejected that Epitaph has crushed them angrily into a pulp.
On the side, there seems to be half of a mask proudly on display here. When you take a closer look, it seems to be the right half of Arceus's twisted and deranged metallic face. The back seems to have a series of pegs and rods, likely for a lock mechanism. Despite its morbid and grotesque appearance, you take it with you.
Item: [Right Half of the SUNKEN Face] has been added to the Team Inventory.
And then you quickly rush to get outside, as the intense, metallic smell of blood is quickly getting to you...
