Nemeton Monastery
Talk0this wiki
A major location in Koudelka, Shadow Hearts, and Shadow Hearts: Covenant.
Built by St. Daniel Scotius before the 13th Century, he was responsible for founding the site and erecting the magnificent Monastery. However the site foundations are much older, having been built possibly thousands of years before.
In its long history, it has served many roles, including that of an army barracks and a prison, in which thousands of people were murdered or tortured.
The site, both over-and-underground, is an extremely important location in all the games it's featured in.

Years later, in 1898, the wandering medium, Koudelka Iasant, summoned by a ghostly cry for help, headed to the monastery in order to investigate. There she came across the injured Edward Plunkett, who ventured to the monastery based on rumours that there were whores.

Sixteen years after the events of Koudelka, in 1913, Albert Simon captured Koudelka Iasant and brought her to the ruins of the monastery. Simon sought to use her as a conduit to unleash the Neameto Float, an ancient floating temple, which would, in turn, summon Meta-God, an alien of near god-like power, who would proceed to destroy the world.
Added by 0001Yuri Hyuga and company fought with Simon and his contract, the demon Amon, in the same room where the ritual to resurrect Elaine was performed years before, to try and stop Simon. They succeeded in defeating Amon, but this played into Simon's plans, for Amon's defeat released enough energy to summon the Float.
Father O' Flaherty's grave can be found in the exterior of the monastery.
