The Fanatic



The Fanatic is an upcoming boss for The Crimson Court. He is a wandering boss, like The Collector and Shambler, and he will hunt down your heroes should they wander into a dungeon bearing something known as the "crimson curse."

According to an interview from Killscreen, Chris Bourassa revealed “The Fanatic will attempt to burn party members at the stake, improving his resilience by reading holy verses as the flames sear his victim. Damaging his pyre will fill the Fanatic with zealous rage, emboldening his attacks and imbuing his warhammer with holy light. So it’s a (literal) damned if you do, damned if you don’t encounter!”

Additionally, his warhammer has a "V" mark on it, and when it is heated up it will brand those with the crimson curse so that all will known that they are vampires (much like the mark the Abomination has). Whether this is just backstory or will have a gameplay role is unknown right now.

Redhook is also considering giving The Fanatic a musical cue to warn the player that he is nearby.
