The Fanatic's Chosen are powerful Scorn Chieftains that serve under Fikrul, the Fanatic. They first seen during the mission High Plains Blues to put down The Spider's associates and their Guardian back-up.[1] After the events of Forsaken, they patrol the Dreaming City commanding what's left of the Scorn.[2]

Three years later, they would be encountered once again within Savathûn's Throne World as part of the Resonant Destruction Public Event in the Quagmire area.[3] They would also appear as final bosses in the Preservation Mission, where they lead Scorn forces in an effort to take control of the Sunken Pyramid, which was left abandoned after the death of Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness.[4]

Gameplay

Dreaming City

As of the launch of Forsaken, there's no indication of whether the Fanatic's Chosen will spawn or not. Usually, it could be seen right as the player spawns into the Divalian Mists, where it could be viewed fighting the Hive and Taken. Unlike other High Value Targets, the Chosen is considered an Ultra, meaning that it bears the ability of a boss melee as well as considerably more health. When encountering it, it will continuously fire at the player while attempting to reach the despawn area. Occasionally, it will summon one of the three types of tools, whether Void, Arc, and Solar, all having different abilities. Killing the enemy rewards the player with a chest full of loot.

Resonant Destruction

The Fanatic's Chosen will appear throughout the Resonant Destruction Public Event, specifically when it is active in the Quagmire area. They serve the same purpose as the Resonant Shepherds in the Miasma and the Thieves in the Florescent Canal – that being to disrupt the progress of the Splinter. When it has gotten far enough, the superweapon will be blocked by large, orange shield dome, where multiple Scorn will spawn, including one of the Chosen. In order to disable the it, participants must kill all of the enemies inside and destroy three Darkness crystals. Doing this will lower the shield, and you may continue to guide the Splinter to its destination. After you have gotten further, however, a second dome will spawn and the process will have to be repeated.

The Chosen that are encountered in the Event will appear exclusively as Solar-empowered Chieftains, wielding Scorn Blasters and deploying Ether-Burn totems.

Trivia

  • The Fanatic's Chosen is essentially the same enemy as the Scorn of the Fanatic.
    • This could be that they are the same enemy, just reanimated.
