Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Cerberus’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

When the Helltaker first encounters Cerberus at the end of Level 3, the triplets express their surprise at the appearance of a "real human" in Hell, and ask the player to take them with. Helltaker is given two options to respond with: "Deal, no questions asked." "This is getting too easy. I have questions." If Helltaker picks the first option, the triplets rejoice, eyes widened. They exclaim that it is finally time to corrupt the mortal realm. Cerberus joins the party and the player receives a "SUCCESS" prompt, advancing on to Level 4. If Helltaker picks the second option, Cerberus delightfully explains that, although they need a human to cross the Hell's Gate (for unspecified reasons), they don't need you to be in one piece. Helltaker is given a "Bad End" screen, which says "They jumped you like rabid dogs. Canine sounds included. The cuteness of it all gave you a heart attack." If Helltaker asks for life advice in fourth and fifth chapter Cerberus will sense Malina and Zdrada. Hey, do you smell that? Orange, berries and... Vodka? There's no doubt. That's got to be Malina. She acts hard to get, but maybe you'll figure her out. Then we will all hang out and it;s gonna be FUN! Chapter IV This place stinks of smoke. Zdrada must be close by. Chapter V

Appearance

General Description: Cerberus is depicted as three identical short demon girls with pale skin, red irises, a black arrow-tipped tail, and silvery-white hair. Since all three are identical, any descriptors applied to one of the girls apply to all of them. Their hair is parted with fringes and stretches all the way down their backs, where the end is tied via a hair tie into a short "tail."

Facial Features: Very large, rounded, and wide eyes, invoking an enthusiastic expression. Small fangs are present in their mouths. Instead of horns, they have white canine ears that emerge from under their hair on the top of their heads.

Clothing/Outfit: More form-fitting apparel, consisting of red button-up long-sleeve shirts underneath black-striped suit vests, and black slim-fit suit pants. Black cuffs are worn over their red shirts just below the shoulder. Black gloves and black ties are tucked underneath their vests. Their tails seem to emerge from underneath their vests and over their pants.

Personality

• Excitable and Happy-Go-Lucky: Cerberus is one of the more excitable demons with a happy-go-lucky attitude, evidenced by their almost always smiling sprites and enthusiastic dialogue.

• Sinister and Savage: While at first seeming relatively innocent compared to the rest of the demon girls, Cerberus is quick to reveal a more sinister or savage side while retaining their cute, seemingly harmless appearance. When joining the party, the triplets express excitement to finally be able to "corrupt the mortal realm." They also infer they have no hesitation in tearing the Helltaker into pieces if he asks questions about bringing them to the normal world.
