“The hammer has a ‘V’ on it, so when it’s heated up, every hit brands you as a Vampire,” he added.ĭarkest Dungeon’s “Crimson Court” DLC will be coming out in early 2017 for Windows, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita.

The Fanatic’s is the warhammer as it felt like a great fit to Bourassa, plus it hasn’t been used anywhere else in the game. Wherever possible, Bourassa likes to give the heroes and villains of Darkest Dungeon a signature weapon. “Nothing matters to him anymore except the pursuit of his righteous cause!” “He’s got a few iconic vampire-hunting tools at his disposal-stakes, garlic, and prayer, but he’s given up on himself-he’s scarred & dirty,” Bourassa continued. “His scarred face gives the impression of having had a serious entanglement at some point in his past-perhaps that’s what finally drove him over the edge.” “I imagine him as having gone rogue from the church, hunting the Crimson Court anywhere he can find them,” Bourassa said. Bourassa said that the team has been experimenting with custom audio cues that will let you know when he’s near, so perhaps you’ll have some warning at least.Īs far as the visual design of The Fanatic goes, Bourassa told me he wanted to steer away from the classic vampire hunter tropes, like tall hats, gadgets, pouches, and crossbows. A proper threat that you’ll want to avoid but will have a hard time doing so if he’s after you.

The Fanatic will be another of the “wandering bosses” like The Collector and The Shambler in Darkest Dungeon.

So it’s a (literal) damned if you do, damned if you don’t encounter!” “Damaging his pyre will fill the Fanatic with zealous rage, emboldening his attacks and imbuing his warhammer with holy light. “The Fanatic will attempt to burn party members at the stake, improving his resilience by reading holy verses as the flames sear his victim,” Bourassa revealed. There’s a chance of him chasing and stalking your party if any one has contracted the “Crimson Curse” and steps foot into the dungeon. “a (literal) damned if you do, damned if you don’t encounter”
