Red Name Enemies

Red Name Enemies are a special type of enemy the player can encounter during HorrorVale. Unlike normal enemies, Red Name Enemies cannot be defeated by normal means in combat.

Mechanic

Traditionally, enemies in HorrorVale are defeated when their Death Points drops to zero, however enemies that possess red text in their names cannot be defeated through repeated attacks. Instead, these enemies serve as mini-puzzles that may require a certain item or simply avoiding them altogether.

Red Name Enemies that appear in HorrorVale

Stubborn Ghost

The first Red Name Enemy the player encounters is the Stubborn Ghost found in the broom closet of Skeleton Manor (Act 0). The Stubborn Ghost serves as a tutorial for this game mechanic by blocking access to one of the four keys required to complete Act 0. The Stubborn Ghost will not attack the player and the player can freely escape from the battle. To be defeated, SPOILER: MOUSE OVER TO VIEW

Pink Fiend

Pink Fiend is the second Red Name Enemy that the player can encounter. Pink Fiend can be found in the Forgotten Manor on the second and third floor where it will patrol randomly, however it will chase the player if it notices them. Unlike other Red Name Enemies, Pink Fiend cannot be defeated except through an unintended glitch. If the player is caught by Pink Fiend they will need to escape the battle.
