11Overview22Wells' Legion Turncoat is an Enemy in Crimson Desert. These are rebels who rose against House Wells alongside Fortain. Fortain, a commander in Wells' forces who was persuaded by Bastier, plotted betrayal and secretly gathered those who would share his cause. Some are traitors blinded by greed, but many were also taken in by the claim that there is no hope left for Wells.66The turncoats seized Thornbriar Fortress, one of Duke Wells' key fortifications in southern Demeniss. Players must fight through these rebel soldiers to reach Fortain and reclaim the fortress during The Cursed Knight quest.88Stats1010StatValueHealth100EvadeN/ACC Gauge201212Equipment1313Wells' Legion Turncoat wears the following items:1515ItemLanternServal Plate BootsRekel Large Spiked ShieldSydmon SpearPlumed Wells Rebel's Plate HelmElite Turncoat Plate ArmorWells Rebel's Plate Gloves1717Location1818Wells' Legion Turncoats are primarily found at Thornbriar Fortress in southern Demeniss.

Turncoats patrol both the exterior walls and interior corridors of the fortress.2020Combat Tips2222With 100 HP, turncoats are notably tougher than loyal Wells' Legion soldiers (70 HP). They are well-armored and carry large spiked shields, making them harder to stagger.Many turncoats carry the Rekel Large Spiked Shield, which blocks frontal attacks effectively. Use charged heavy attacks, Forward Slash, or flanking maneuvers to bypass their guard.Conserve your healing items while fighting through the fortress. The boss fight with Fortain the Cursed Knight at the end is significantly harder and requires a full stock of recovery items.Spear-wielding turncoats have extended reach. Maintain proper spacing and dodge their thrust attacks before counterattacking.During the Fortain boss fight itself, several musket soldiers position themselves at the arena's edges and fire large fireball-like shots that can stagger you. Eliminate them first to avoid interruptions during the main fight.2424The Cursed Knight Quest2626The turncoats are central to The Cursed Knight quest in Demeniss. Through Bastier's manipulation, Fortain was introduced to the Black Witch and gained the cursed power to split his soul into doubles. This corruption carries a devastating price: if Fortain is defeated in battle, his own double executes him.2828During the boss fight, Fortain wears tough armor that reduces incoming damage significantly. He also summons two spectral warriors that cannot be damaged. One swings a massive axe in downward attacks while the other fires crossbow bolts. Both attack two to three times before disappearing. Players should use Force Palm to stagger him and follow up with heavy attacks. Defeating Fortain rewards the Shackle of Might, an Abyss Artifact, and 600 Demenissian Contribution EXP.3030Knowledge3232Interacting with Wells' Legion Turncoat grants the following knowledge entries:3434Fortain Rebels3636Notes3838This NPC has 13 variants in the game data.Turncoats are visually distinguished from loyal Wells' Legion soldiers by their "Plumed Wells Rebel's Plate Helm" and "Elite Turncoat Plate Armor" gear.After the fortress is recaptured, loyal Wells' Legion soldiers replace the turncoats in the area.4040See Also4242Wells' Legion - Loyal soldiers of House WellsFortain the Cursed Knight - Leader of the rebellionHouse Wells - The ducal house governing southern DemenissThe Cursed Knight - The quest to recapture Thornbriar FortressNPCs - All NPCs in Crimson Desert
