Manservant: So most enemies in the Crimson Court have a 'super mode'. A pretty cool and creepy monster, and honestly, I do like that they're drawing from other blood-sucking insectoids to help bulk up the vampiric hordes. Which, of course, is totally what the Supplicant is, because when it attacks, the massive tick creature opens its mouth and reveals the desiccated skull of its human host-puppet. It's not a brand-new trope, and we've seen this in many other sci-fi settings, but I do like it! The idea that these tick monsters are of a lesser caste compared to the other vampires in the courtyard is also an interesting one. yeah, the poor Supplicant looks less like an insect-man monster, and more like a big, giant tick with a vertical mouth just chomped a poor dude's head off and is now piloting the rest of his body, giving a whole new meaning to "parasite". Whereas a vast majority of the vampire-men in the Crimson Courtyard are mosquito-men, or at least have a better integration with their arthropod halves, the Supplicant is tied to a blood-sucking tick which. It's a simple enemy, mostly relying on brute attacks and the odd blight effect or two, but otherwise is pretty simple to fight. Supplicant: The most basic enemies that's equivalent to the Bone Rabble or the Pelagic Groupers would be the Supplicant. And making them into these wacky aristocratic vampires is honestly just such a hilarious thing to do! Absolutely love the set of very human bloodstained teeth underneath that pointy mosquito stinger-nose, too.

but mosquitoes? They suck blood and spread diseases and look so gross. Hematophagic bats are such a small proportion of actual bats, and we don't really associate bats with blood-sucking outside of vampires. They're mosquito-men vampires, and it's honestly such a genius association that I'm surprised I didn't see more of mosquito-themed vampires. mosquito-men! But they aren't just mosquito-men, no. I'm not sure if this is true to any actual vampire myths - there are so many vampire myths I genuinely can't tell.Īnd if you can't tell, Crimson Courtyard's main enemies are. And you can only get these invitations by randomly meeting these Gatekeepers that spawn in other parts of the game, carrying a little writ you must take. and because it's a posh party and all, you can't enter unless you have an invitation. Essentially, with the installation of this DLC, you unlock a brand-new segment of the estate, the titular crimson courtyard. and one that I genuinely really do love the most out of most of the game's enemies. I'm going to talk the most about the Crimson Court DLC, the DLC that I actually played. A while back, we reviewed all of the monsters in Darkest Dungeon, but that isn't all the game has to offer! Like most newer-generation games, Darkest Dungeon comes with its own downloadable content - two huge ones that add entire large areas with their own horrid monsters that we can talk about, as well as a couple smaller ones that add individual heroes and stuff.Ī little disclaimer is that I've never played the newer ones, because I simply didn't have the time, but I have seen gameplay videos out there.
