The '''Mapping of the Heart''' is a ritual carried out by the [[Viconia DeVir|Inquisitor of Shar]] at the [[House of Grief]]. The mapping is performed on whoever sits on the stone bench at {{Coords|-272|9}}. Only one player per run can undergo the Mapping of the Heart.
The '''Mapping of the Heart''' is a ritual carried out by the [[Viconia DeVir|Inquisitor of Shar]] at the [[House of Grief]]. The mapping is performed on whoever sits on the stone bench at {{Coords|-272|9}}. Only one character per run can undergo the Mapping of the Heart. [[Shadowheart]] will have a unique interaction with the Inquisitor on the bench and will not complete a typical mapping.


The answers to the mapping affect the battle with the [[Viconia DeVir]] by giving her two specialized spells {{SAI|Castigate Heartform}} and {{SAI|Mapped Terror}}. The Mapping can be skipped entirely by passing a {{Ability Check|20|Investigation}} to find a button on the wall that opens the hidden passage to the [[Cloister of Sombre Embrace]].
