Gaining Access to the Murder Tribunal

To gain entry into the Murder Tribunal, you must first undertake an investigation of a series of mysterious murders. During your investigation, you'll encounter Cora Highberry and Dolor, a dwarf in striking red armor. Engage in battle with Dolor, who will attempt to evade you.

After this encounter, proceed to the Facemaker's Boutique where you'll find the dwarf alongside another murder victim, Figaro Pennyworth. Defeat Dolor and retrieve the Hand Bag from the corpse, as well as the Torn and Bloody Page. These items will reveal the password required to enter the Murder Tribunal.

The Murder Tribunal is located in Candulhallow's Tombstones, northeast of the Elfsong Taverns. Once inside, uncover the hidden entrance by manipulating a portrait on the wall and entering the password to gain access to the tribunal.

Becoming an Unholy Assassin

Entering the Murder Tribunal is only the first step. To assume the role of the Unholy Assassin, you must present the Hand Bag as evidence of your involvement in a murder and choose the first dialogue option to gain entry.

Once inside, you will encounter the legendary Bhaalspawn, Sarevok Anchev. To become the Unholy Assassin, you must agree to be judged by Sarevok and deceive the Murder Tribunal to pass the judgment. This will lead to a transformative rebirth, marking your ascension to the title of Unholy Assassin.

Acquiring the Craterflesh Gloves

Having become the Unholy Assassin, you will gain access to the previously inaccessible Echo of Abazigal merchant within the Murder Tribunal. Engage in a conversation with the merchant to learn about his backstory and trade with him to discover a diverse array of items, including the coveted Craterflesh Gloves.

The Craterflesh Gloves possess a unique perk called Craterous Wounds, which inflicts force damage on critical hits, granting players a significant advantage in combat. These gloves are a rare find and can only be acquired through trade with the Echo of Abazigal merchant.
