The Flagellant is one of the playable Characters in Darkest Dungeon. He is exclusive to The Crimson Court DLC.

Together with the Crusader, the Vestal, and the Leper, he refuses to embark on missions if the Abomination is in the party. He also refuses to party with another Flagellant for "the burden of suffering cannot be shared".

Unique Attributes

  • Rapturous: The only affliction the Flagellant can receive. Gives +25% damage, +3% crit,+3 speed and -20 dodge. Can cause the Flagellant to randomly target enemies, other party members, or even himself, among other effects.
  • A buff which activates when below 38% health which gives +20% Damage and +3% Crit.
  • Upon reaching death's door, the Flagellant heals the entire party and reverses Death's Door debuffs, providing +5 Accuracy, +20% Damage, +2 Speed, and +20% Resist to Stun, Blight, Bleed, and Debuffs.
  • If the Flagellant is killed, he will stun all enemies as his last act.
  • As his name suggests, he will only use the Penance Hall for Stress Relief. This will always heal 100 stress, or 90 if "The Town is Abuzz!" Town Event is active.

Combat Skills

The Flagellant belongs to an extremist faction within the church, and is generally regarded with a toxic mixture of fear, awe and disgust. The power he draws from martyrdom is as effective as it is unsettling - in one moment he is a fountain of healing renewal, and the next, a conduit of terrible wrath. His full potential is realized only the brink of madness... or death.

Camping Skills

Eschewing the company of others, the Flagellant turns his back to the fire, denying himself the comforts of its warmth. Instead, he whips himself mercilessly - this is a man locked in perpetual battle with his own flesh and blood.

~ Survivalist

Unlike other heroes, the Flagellant only has unique camping skills, giving him a total of 4. All of his camping skills target himself, either healing his health, his stress, or even raising his stress to bring him to his Rapturous state faster.

Equipment

The Flagellant relishes the scars and abrasions that cover his body - drawing incomprehensible resilience from the tearing of his own flesh. His flail, a particularly cruel and merciless weapon, drips with his enemies' blood... and his own.

~ Blacksmith

Unlike other games, equipment upgrades in Darkest Dungeon are linear, all bought at the Blacksmith.

The Crimson Court DLC added special Trinket Sets, two for each hero. They confer powerful bonuses to the hero equipped with them, and having both equipped at once yields an additional bonus, which is shown greyed out at the bottom. The origin dungeon for all Trinket Sets is the Courtyard and they all have the rarity Crimson Court. The Shieldbreaker Trinket SetExclusive to The Shieldbreaker DLC, however, is only obtainable through her final 6th and 7th nightmare encounters and won't be dropped or given as a reward in the Courtyard. Trinkets you already have will stop dropping, so there's value in not selling the ones you don't like until you get the ones you want.

Trivia

  • The Flagellant shares his name with a Quirk that makes heroes only use the Penance Chamber for Stress Relief.
  • The predetermined named for the Flagellant is Damian which is most likely named after a saint of the same name who introduced flagellation to the Catholic Church.
  • The Flagellant can only use the penance hall in town for stress relief, despite no quirk forcing it.
  • He is currently the only playable character to have a modified Death Blow resistance. Flagellant has a 73% passive chance to resist fatality while others have a 67% chance.
  • No backer heroes exist within this class, because backer heroes are Kickstarter users suggestions, before the original game gets released, the other one is Musketeer.
