The Flagellant unlocks 6 skills over 5 chapters by accessing memories at the Shrine of Reflection.

Chapter One: Baptism

He was a listless shade of the city, indifferent to his penury. With his skeletal build and bleeding gums, he looked an easy target for a pair of drunks seeking an outlet for their frustrations. The blows rained down, a tooth cracked - and a feverish crimson eclipsed his vision. In pain... there was power. He rose above his panting assailants, and, reveling in the marks of their sin, forgave them their trespasses.

Chapter Two: In Service of the Divine

Drawn to the sombre depths of the church's oubliettes, he pledged his life to the clergy. There, he inflicted death by slow, delicious degrees - each crack of the lash an honour, a gift, a morbid sacrament. But his zeal proved too ardent, his brethren too timid - they cast him out, rendered him once more unto the streets.

Let all run red...!

Chapter Three: More, More!

He roved out in search of torment, consuming the sin of any who would purge their misdeeds upon his body. Each wound fueled his fervour, the rapture only found in baptism by the lash. Drunk on his bloody intinctions, manic with the need for some elusive apotheosis, he gouged at himself without mercy. As blood poured from his rended flesh, his conciousness faltered, and the thundering hoofbeats of Death rang violent in his ears.

May this maligned world find solace through my flesh.

Chapter Four: Death's Door

Her scythe promised numbing obliviation - a premature end to his sacred journey of sensation!
~ The Academic

Objective: Defy Death

Solution

Death has extremely high resistances, making it impossible to Blight Blight her during the first phase.

  • Use More! MORE! and Sepsis to keep the Flagellant alive.
  • Acid Rain is more powerful than Punish, dealing slightly lower damage but inflicting Weak Weak.

Once the Flagellant reaches 10 Stress Stress, he'll become Toxic, unlocking a powerful skill, Sepsis, and granting him the following buffs for the duration of combat:

  • +200% Blight RES Piercing
  • +100% Stress RES

With these buffs, Death should fall quite easily to the Flagellant's attacks.

Gleaned from the world's gruesome delights, his power was enough to defy Death herself!

Chapter Five: Behold the Man

Once more he wandered, ravenous for fresh suffering and delighting in its novelty and excess. Offering himself to blade and talon alike, he became an icon writ in flesh, a living prayer to whatever gods would turn an ear. Undying, he savoured his delicious declension. An eternity of pain and rot. Heaven on earth.

Every rapturous lash drags me further from her grasp!
