How far are you willing to push him? Because the desire for power can cloud judgement, and sometimes pushing too far can have… dire consequences. And the more the minions of darkness try to end his life, the stronger he becomes, since his strength is at its summit when he himself is at the brink of death… or madness. He converts damage in either powerful healing for his allies, or horrifying punishment for his enemies in the form of insanely powerful bleeding attacks. His power lies within the martyrdom, and it is something that transcends physical laws: every action of violence that lands on his tortured corpus creates not an equal, but a far more potent reaction.

He will stand like a wall between his comrades and his foes, with his arms wide open, his body exposed, acting like a magnet for all harm that may come their way.

Whereas every sane member of your band of mercenaries aims to minimize wounds and disability by mitigation (armor) or avoidance (dodging), the Flagellant welcomes them. This man is unique among the various classes in the sense that he thrives on the ruin of his mind and body. There's nothing stopping an enterprising player from taking both trinkets on a Point Blank Shot Highwayman though.ĭarkest Dungeon is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, iOS, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One.If there was ever such a thing as ‘weaponized suffering’, then the Flagellant would be the term made flesh. Though, this is probably a good thing Berserk Charm is broken enough. The one downside to this trinket, past the paltry +10% stress penalty, is that it's restricted to ranged attacks. Ignoring the high dodge chance of squishy targets is great either way.

Damage dealers like Arbalest may be conflicted between this and Focus Ring, as taking both would sacrifice a damage trinket without mods.

Supports like Plague Doctor and Vestal enjoy it especially, being able to do their thing and be accurate in doing so. The only other generic trinket that offers this combo is the Prophet's Eye, and for good reason: every hero wants it. The Ancestor's Pistol gives a unique combination of bonuses: accuracy and speed.
