'''Zealot of the Absolute''' is an archetype of enemy that serves [[The Absolute]], based off of a [[Strength]]-based [[Oath of Vengeance]] [[Paladin]].  
'''Zealots of the Absolute''' serve as paladin footsoldiers of the [[Absolute]], forming the core of its conventional army.


They can be encountered in [[Moonrise Towers]] and [[High Hall]].
== Involvement ==
=== Act One ===
Two zealots of the Absolute can be found dead in the [[Mountain Pass]], perishing after being attacked by [[githyanki]] youth as they were escorting {{CharLink|Ulder Ravengard|Duke Ravengard}} to [[Moonrise Towers]].
 
=== Act Two ===
Zealots of the Absolute are found acting as enforcers and soldiers of the Absolute army, and can be found in large numbers in Moonrise Towers as well as in the war camp west of [[Reithwin]]. They form the backbone of Absolutist forces in the area, and can be fought against during the {{quest|Infiltrate Moonrise Towers|Assault on Moonrise Towers}}.
 
As the [[Elder Brain]] orders to start the march towards [[Baldur's Gate]], zealots of the Absolute can be seen marching alongside [[undead]] and [[goblins]].
 
=== Act Three ===
A large number of zealots, such as {{CharLink|Lewis Morell}}, were present during the initial assault on [[High Hall]], pushing the [[City Watch]] out of the area at the cost of severe casualties. When the party arrives, only three living zealots remain and can be encountered in the [[Upper City]]; two of which are situated in the courtyard, with the third one hidden in the [[Upper City#Sewers|Upper City Sewers]].


== Combat ==
== Combat ==
Zealots of the Absolute are deadly melee opponents based off of a [[Strength]]-oriented [[Oath of Vengeance]] [[Paladin]] class. In Act Two, they are some of the most dangerous enemy archetypes that the party can face, boasting high HP pools and capable of dishing large amount of damage through their [[Smite|smites]], while being statistically more powerful than any of the potential allies that the party can have.

* Some members of this archetype may have slightly different passives, movement speed, weight, and size due to being members of different races.
* Some members of this archetype may have slightly different passives, movement speed, weight, and size due to being members of different races.
* Zealots encountered in [[High Hall]] are level 7 as opposed to level 8.
* The two zealots encountered in the [[High Hall]] courtyard are level 7 as opposed to level 8.
** These two zealots are also visually equipped with more basic and rudimentary armour rather than the ornate {{SmRarityItem|Plate Armour}} that most zealots are commonly seen wearing.
** This might be an implication that most zealots are not as well-equipped as their counterparts in [[Moonrise Towers]], especially as thz zealots seen during the Elder Brain's march cutscene and {{SmCharLink|Lewis Morell}} are devoid of visual body armour.
