UNLOCKING:

Unlocking mercenary as of this time (3/28/19) is currently done by entering a blue portal similar to the portal that leads to the shop only after entering the highest level of difficulty (HAHAHAHA). You will be placed in location aesthetically similar to the shop out of time but there will be a jumping puzzle instead. After completing you will arrive at the obelisk where you can sacrifice your character and unlock the Mercenary.

Falling in the jumping puzzle does not fail the puzzle, it simply teleports the player back to the start without dealing any damage.
