Cultist Priest

The Cultist Priest is a type of enemy encountered in the first 2 expeditions of the Darkest Dungeon.

History
Of all the Cultists who have gathered throughout this land, there are a select few whose fanatical devotion and worship is so great that they are "blessed" by their god and had their bodies remade in its image - a twisted amalgam of flesh, teeth, eyes, and tentacles. Because of these "blessings", they are among the highest ranking members of the cult and are never seen outside of the blasphemous sanctuary they have constructed deep beneath the manor. It is their job to carry out the devilish and arcane rituals that strengthen the thing and hasten the end.

Behavior
With their combination of high speed, high damage attacks and their ability to inflict debuffs and heavy bleed, Cultist Priests should be considered the highest priority in battle, unless it is accompanied by an Ascended Witch. Use stuns and your highest damaging attacks to take them down quickly.
