Annihilated warrior route: how to start and play it

To play the Annihilated warrior route, reach the partner-selection point after finding the broken Hero's party and choose the Warrior — the soul now living in a doll — as the one companion you carry out. He has been available from the start of the free demo since October 23, 2026, playable all the way through the first boss, The Outcast, and his complete route arrives with the full game on November 10, 2026.

Who the Warrior is

According to the official Steam store page, the Warrior lost his mighty body: his soul was removed and implanted into a frail doll. Uniquely among the broken party members, he seems delighted about it, asking "Am I not super cute?!" That cheerfulness is the hook his route builds on — every route is a self-contained story about what broke your partner and what you settle together, and his is the contrast between the cute shell and the strong warrior who used to fill it.

How playing with him works

The escape is a roguelite crawl through random event rooms, chests, and fights, ending each section in a boss. Your partner fights beside you in turn-based card battles where every item is a card with limited uses, enemies telegraph their next move, and a weapon's final use triggers a Fatal Strike that kills instantly and steals the enemy's gear. Conversations along the way decide whether trust, doubt, or dependence grows, and that decides your ending.

One concrete read on the Warrior in battle comes from a first-hand player, Duobur, on the Steam community hub, who called him "too much of a glass cannon despite needing them to stay on the front lines" — a partner who hits hard but is fragile in the row where he must stand. Treat that as one player's impression, not a stat sheet.

What is not known yet

His full-route story beats, endings, and any Warrior-specific combat skills beyond the demo's stretch have not been documented: the game launches November 10, 2026. A concrete next action: play the demo and clear The Outcast with him — saving after clearing the demo carries your progress into the full release.

Next steps

• The Priest route is the locked, riskier alternative — worth knowing why the Warrior is the safer first pick.
