11Overview22Righteous Inquisitor is an Enemy in Crimson Desert. Also known as the Righteous Inquisitors, they serve the Righteous Tribunal, an inspection body originally meant to prevent corruption within the kingdom. The Tribunal has since degenerated into a faction loyal to Bastier. If Chelcia, who founded the Tribunal, could see what it has become today, she would have condemned them as evil for wielding power and persecuting the people.66Bastier's Inquisitors are among the most frequently encountered hostile forces in Demeniss. They control many locations throughout the region and act as Bastier's enforcers, suppressing dissent and maintaining his iron grip on power. Born into a lowly family with insatiable ambition, Bastier seized power by murdering his rivals, and Caliburn leveraged this knowledge to recruit him as a loyal confidant.88Stats1010StatValueHealth100EvadeN/ACC Gauge201212Equipment1313Righteous Inquisitor wears the following items:1515ItemLanternTorchFallen Kingdom's SwordCog Destroyer SpearDemeniss Brimstone Gas MaskRhegis Leather BootsCacoreum Leather GlovesMeyer Plate Armor1717Location1818Righteous Inquisitors are found throughout Demeniss, controlling blockaded locations, watchtowers, and fortified outposts. As Bastier's primary enforcement arm, they maintain a heavy presence in the region. Players will encounter Inquisitors at many liberation sites during Demeniss's faction quests. Many settlements beyond Hernand become hostile territory due to Inquisitor patrols.2020Combat Tips2222Inquisitors travel in large groups and frequently fight in shield wall formations. They carry shields with little to no ranged support, so you need to be very aggressive to break through their defensive lines.A longsword or spear fits the bill for fighting Inquisitors. Use wide-arc attacks to hit multiple shielded enemies at once.The running shield charge is highly effective against groups of Inquisitors. It sends multiple enemies flying when you hit them clustered together, giving you room to breathe.A strong attack followed by a focus punch followed by a quick combo usually leads to a finisher against shielded enemies.The Blinding Flash finisher can deal decent damage even through their shields and has knockback at the end, disrupting their formation.For a more defensive approach, the spear's Counter Stance ability (unlocked at Level 2 Armed Combat) allows you to negate damage from both melee and ranged attacks before counterattacking.Be especially wary of Mazzul, the Dark Justiciar, the executioner of the Righteous Inquisitors. Mazzul is a trusted subordinate of Bastier and is encountered as a boss during Demeniss questlines.2424Faction Lore2626The Righteous Tribunal was founded by Chelcia as an inspection body to root out corruption in the kingdom. Under Bastier's influence, however, the Tribunal has become a tool of oppression. Bastier is the grand general of Demeniss and Caliburn's loyal confidant, using the Inquisitors to suppress anyone who challenges the current power structure.2828The Inquisitors are in direct conflict with House Wells, the ducal house governing southern Demeniss that remains loyal to House Thorel. Much of the Demeniss storyline revolves around the tension between these factions, and players will frequently find themselves liberating locations from Inquisitor control during faction quests.3030Knowledge3232Interacting with Righteous Inquisitor grants the following knowledge entries:3434Bastier's Inquisitors3636Notes3838This NPC has 26 variants in the game data, making it one of the most varied enemy types in the game.The Demeniss Brimstone Gas Mask worn by some variants gives them a distinctive intimidating appearance.Inquisitors can sometimes be encountered outside of Demeniss at blockaded crossings and border checkpoints.4040See Also4242Bastier - The grand general who commands the InquisitorsMazzul, the Dark Justiciar - Bastier's executioner and a boss encounterRighteous Tribunal - The corrupted inspection bodyDemeniss - The region where Inquisitors operateNPCs - All NPCs in Crimson Desert
