"Police! Open the door."
~~~The Police
The Police are a duo consisting of a detective and an armored SWAT officer. They only appear in the epilogue of Helltaker.
Appearance
The Detective has dark skin, grey eyes, and black hair styled in dreadlocks. She wears a light grey suit and tie, with a white long-sleeved undershirt, grey pants, and pearl earrings. She holds an ID card in her hand.
The Cop has light skin and short-length red hair. She wears black armor, with "POLICE" written in white on the chestplate, black shades and a faceplate of the same color, and dark grey fingerless gloves. She also holds a rifle.
Encounter
In the epilogue, there is a police car parked next to the door of The Helltaker's house. The door has a heart icon above it. When the player gets to the door, the Police will approach them. The player has two options.
- Open (end of the game)
- Don't open
If the player chooses the first option, the Police will be given pancakes. The Detective is holding a plate of pancakes, while the Cop removes her face shield and licks her lips.
They will respond with this:
- Oh, thanks. We still have questions though.
If the player chooses the second option, they will respond with this:
- We know you're in there. Open the door NOW!
Trivia
- The Police and The Helltaker are the only regular humans in the game.
- It's not clear what Cerberus did to get them to come over, but the detective claims they only have a few questions.
- On the other hand, the policewoman escorting the detective is wearing quite a large amount of tactical armor, and holding an automatic rifle, as if prepared for a confrontation. Then again, in one of the comics, the planet is apparently regularly subjected to alien invasions and zombie plagues so this might just be normal procedure. Though this might be because that she is indeed the member of the cities Police Tactical Team, and that she is escorting the detective on a regular basis.
