Memovira's Courtyard Map - M15 Torment: Tides of Numenera Guide

The above map shows Memovira's Courtyard. This is the first of several big locations in The Bloom, which is a huge, living organism, where you get automatically after running from the Miel Avest Sanctuary. Even in the initial parts of The Bloom you will find many interactive objects and NPCs offering all kinds of services and opportunities of getting new side quests. The most important areas of the Courtyard can be found below. In the north-west corner of this location, you can find a passage to another area of The Bloom - Vast Interior.

Resting spot in Memovira's Courtyard

It's actually good to lie the first time, and convince Qianne to give you a free bed.

You can ask Qianne to let you rest - she's close to the place where the exploration of The Bloom begins (M15.1). She will demand that you pay 65 shins per person, but you can lie that you don't have that much money and ask her to let you rest for free. She will agree only once - every other time, she will demand payment. Use free rest only when the team is extremely exhausted - this will allow you to save the most money (it's 260 shins for a 4-person team).

Note - An important information is that Qianne gives you the quest Twice the trouble. Finishing this quest might enable you to get free rest from her.

Other key locations in Memovira's Courtyard

1. Starting area. The exploration of The Bloom begins here, after running from Miel Avest during the main quest, The Sanctuary of Miel Avest. Conversation with Dracogen will activate another main quest - Dracogen's Price.

2. Qianne. She can give you a quest: Twice the Trouble. Your team can rest at Qianne's for 65 shins per person. If you lie, you can get one rest for free.

3. Slave auction. Parsim Flint sells slaves. You can but Coty from him (for 400 shins. You can get Coty for 300 if you pass the bargain test).

You can ask Coty to steal some shins or other valuable items. The first such endeavor will end with success, and you will get an item that can be sold to one of the merchants. THe second attempt will end with Coty being killed during a theft attempt, and you can be even accused of ordering the theft. There's also a quest connected with Coty - Freedman and it's about finding a job for Coty.

4. Memovira's Fortress. It's closed. Brusca gives a side quest, Rumblings of Discontent. You can also talk with Brusca about a job for Coty (the Freedman quest).

5. Skaydi. She sells all sorts of things - single-use items, melee weapons, ranged weapons, shields, cyphers and bonded items.

There's a water reservoir nearby. You can drink some water and gain the Bloom Juiced fettle (drinking it the second time will get you a qucik trip to the Labyrinth); you can also take some water to a bottle (you can drink it later to get the same effect); or use Might and dive in the reservoir, which will allow you to fish out the Warding Worm cypher.

8. Challenge Arena - talk with Waits-for-prey and use all of the dialogue options to acquire additional Experience Points. You can engage in a tough fight (to learn more, read How to defeat Waits-for-prey in Bloom?). Alternatively, Into the Depths enables us to use Persuasion on the being and agree to be eaten by the Maw - this is one of the ways of getting access to The Gullet.

9. Decanted. This creature appears later in this location (first, it will be talking with Dracogen and you'll have to wait until the end of that meeting). You can talk to it and unlock a side quest, Preservation of Beauty.
