In The Lake, if Blake takes too long to dislodge the raft, a Heretic will lunge at Blake and wildly hack him to death with his bone knife.The Heretic will then hold Blake's head still and slash him across the neck. A Heretic when attacking Blake from behind will slash him across the back with his bone knife, causing him to fall over.A Heretic when attacking Blake from the front will slash Blake across the neck with his bone knife.The following animation sequences are performed by male Heretics, as female Heretics never serve as in-game enemies: Their bodies are coated in mud and blood, the latter most likely being their own or their victims'. The Heretics also seem to engage in heavy sexual activities as seen during their orgy ritual.Īll of the Heretics appear to lack any clothing except for strange masks made out of twigs and mud with blood markings painted on them, which obscure most of their facial features. mutilating and flaying their victims and stringing up their remains, as well as burning people alive and dumping their bodies into the river), further proving that they are no better than their rivals. Much like the Testament followers, they are very capable of carrying out unspeakable atrocities (e.g. Perhaps the most notable abilities the Heretics share among each other is their agility being able to leap across crevices effortlessly and dropping down from large heights unharmed, to which they use to their advantage to perform surprise attacks on Blake, making them extremely dangerous to anyone. Despite their feral behavior, they are all shown to be completely loyal to their leader, Val. Some Heretics also seem to communicate with each other in broken English. They persistently pursue Blake in large numbers throughout the mines while maniacally screaming, growling and chanting incoherently. In most, if not all instances where the Heretics are encountered, they are shown to be completely insane to the point of being almost animalistic. Despite the Testament winning the civil war and destroying the Heretics, their goals are ultimately accomplished as Lynn delivers the baby, which leads to the Testament wiping itself out and leaving Temple Gate empty. The orgy is interrupted by attacking Testament followers, however, who begin to slaughter the Heretics present in the mines.
