Ceremonial Bather

Ceremonial Bather

Ceremonial Bathers are a more durable and powerful variant of the Gladiator appearing in the Leviathan Raid.

Overview

The Bathers are created from genetic patterns of the most virile martial artists of a bygone Cabal era. According to Calus, they are actually born through ritual baths aboard the Leviathan, the Royal Pools, and are but seconds into their lives when they confront Guardians in the raid.

They wear no armor, adorning themselves only with helmets and a loincloth. Their bodies are painted a prestigious gold, with the lower portions painted black. They are armed with a variant of the Cabal Severus, taking a shape closer to an axe. Decorations depicting this weapon are often found adorning the rooms of the Leviathan.

Gameplay

The Bathers are to be respected, as just 2 hits can bring any Guardian to the brink of death. During the Royal Pools encounter in Leviathan raid, they will rise periodically from the chains in front of an occupied plate. It is highly recommended to use weapons like Shotguns, Grenades or other high damage weapons to kill them as fast as possible.
