Behavior

When first approached, the Herald runs up to players and plays a horn fanfare that alerts every nearby enemy, instantly triggering their aggressive states and causing them to run towards players. It then starts fleeing from players, periodically firing a single golden bolt that deals minimal armor piercing damage.

If left alive for long enough, it will go invulnerable and play a mock-up of The Sorcerer’s Tower, firing a stream of various Quieting notes alongside periodic shotguns of additional notes.

When killed, the Herald will play an off-tune fanfare as it dies.

The Accursed variant behaves more aggressively, but otherwise acts the same. When killed, it will turn into a cursed grave that will resurrect it after a period of time.

Tips and Strategies

The Herald poses almost no threat by himself, but if you see him blow his horn, prepare to fight the enemies that will likely be called in to assist him. It is rather difficult, but possible, to kill him before he can sound his alarm, especially if players can get the jump on him.

If he goes invulnerable, back away, as the Herald’s special attack is both highly damaging and difficult to avoid at short range.
