Yo. I've heard about your harem. I'm in.
~ Zdrada

Background

Zdrada is the fifth demon encountered in Helltaker. She is referred to as "The Bitch Demon".

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

Appearance

Zdrada, like most of the Helltaker cast, is depicted as a short demon girl with pale skin, red irises, a black arrow-tipped tail, and silvery-white hair. It's quite short and most of it covers her left eye. Poking out of her hair are two small black horns that are rounded inwards. She has black eye shadow along with piercings on her mouth, ears and nose. On her arms you can see sorts of black bracelets, one of them reaching to her fingers. In addition to her white cross necklace, which is a clear reference to her name, she also wears a black choker. Her base attire consists of a red tuckered shirt, black skinny jeans and black, knee-length heeled boots.

In "Just a Short Comic About Glasses", she temporarily wears a pair of black glasses with translucent white lenses, since she lost her contact lenses.

Personality

Zdrada is shown to be a mean-spirited smoker and rarely cares for anything, and is very dorkish as her label implies. She dislikes solving problems, nerdy puzzles and Malina's video games. She seems to always be smoking, and she doesn't care even if it is forbidden. She is shown to be sadomasochistic as well, as she finds pleasure in watching other people, including herself, in pain and despair, and doesn't care of what she has said. Her self-afflicted sadomasochism is shown with the cross she wears. Due to it being a holy symbol, it constantly burns her skin. She also loves to irritate and pester her younger sister, and calls her "Malinka" (diminutive of her name in Polish) instead of her proper name. She is rather down-to-earth, and tells the player that they can go kill themselves if they don't want to solve the puzzles in Level 6.

Encounter

When Helltaker first encounters Zdrada at the end of level 5, she introduces herself by talking about the player's harem and saying immediately she is joining it. The player is given two options to respond with:

  1. "Wait. I have a feeling I'll regret it."
  2. "It's not really a harem anymore. We just play turn based strategies."

If the player picks the first option, she tells the player she will be coming anyway and how Helltaker is free to try and stop her. A big cloud of smoke comes out of her mouth as she giggles. She joins the party and the player receives a "SUCCESS" prompt, advancing on to Level 6.

If the player picks the second option, Zdrada puts you out of your misery by killing you. The player is given a "Bad End" screen, which says "Your vision swam. The last thing you noticed was a knife buried hilt deep between your ribs."

Life Advice

Zdrada will answer to life advice in Chapter VI.

Zdrada: "Don't look at me for puzzle hints. I'm not a nerd. Maybe go kill yourself on some spikes. It'll be amusing."

Malina: "My sister's always like that. I can't believe you invited her..."

Zdrada: "Yeah. What were you thinking, man? Glad you invited Malina, though. She spends too much time, all alone, playing most nerdy video games I've ever seen."

Malina: "Can you please shut up?"

Zdrada: "Do you know how turned on she gets while playing them? That one time when she..."

Malina: "Kill one of us. Me or her. Please. Fast."

The player is given two options to respond with:
  1. *Kill them both*
  2. *Kill yourself*

If the player picks the first option, Pandemonica will urge Helltaker to just leave them be. If the player picks the second option, Helltaker will follow Zdrada's advice and impale himself on some spikes despite Pandemonica trying to stop him. Doing this will also grant you the Lifetaker achievement.

Name: Zadrada, the Bitch Demon

Origin: Helltaker

Sex: Female

Dimensionality: 3-D

Attack Potency: Room level (Likely comparable to Subject 67, who can destroy a large robot. Can easily kill The Helltaker, who can kick away large rocks and destroy massive chains with his kicks)

Durability: Room level (Comparable to Subject 67. Should be more durable than The Helltaker, who can survive Judgement's attacks)

Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Immortality (Types 1 and possibly 8; Demons such as Lucifer can live for ancient times and longer without showing actual aging.

Losing will kills anyone in Hell), Enhanced Senses (Comparable to Justice, who can act while blind without assistance), Weapon Usage (Uses a knife to kill people with). Resistance to Smoke Manipulation (Hell naturally has hellfire smoke filling up people's lungs[1]. Never seems to be phased by inhaling large amounts of smoke), Pain (Constantly wears her cross necklace, which burns her chest)
