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 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.	„
	~ Guild

Note: New Flagellants will always come with the Punish skill.

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.

Each Hero has trinkets unique to them that only they can equip. The Flagellant has seven; 2 uncommon, 2 Crimson Court and 1 common, rare and very rare. His normal trinkets are hoods and collars, and his Crimson Court trinkets are teeth and glass due to a beating he received from a drunken patron while begging for money.

Trinket Image	Trinket Name	Rarity	Class Restriction	Origin Dungeon	Effect	Additional Notes
	Heartburst Hood	Common	Flagellant		+4 SPD if HP below 40%
	Resurrection's Collar	Uncommon	Flagellant		+33% Healing Skills -15% Bleed Skill Chance
	Punishment's Hood	Uncommon	Flagellant		+20% Bleed Skill Chance -20% Healing Skills +15% DMG if HP below 40%

	Eternity's Collar	Very Rare	Flagellant		+10% Death Blow Resist +20 DODGE at Death's Door +20% DMG if Stress above 85

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 Set, 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.

District Bonus

The Crimson Court DLC adds Districts to the Hamlet, some of which confer passive benefits to heroes.

The gold cost of most Districts in Radiant mode is significantly reduced. The price in Radiant mode is shown in parentheses.

Trivia

• Despite the Reclaim skill saying "Heal", it does not appear to be boosted by trinkets that increase healing skills as it instead applies the effect Restoration for a specific amount. However buffing the hero's "Healing Received" will boost Reclaim's healing effects.
• The Flagellant shares his name with a Quirk that makes heroes only use the Penance Chamber for Stress Relief.
• The predetermined name 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 the 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 was released; the other two are the Musketeer and the Shieldbreaker.
