"Enslaved by fate, he foresees, and makes it true. With dull eyes, he looks forward to the end of the line, after which the rest is blank."
Prophet is one of the fifteen Hosts featured in HOURS. It is obtained by completing Peacock Peaks or its variations.
Description[]
Prophet is a host based around heavy attacks. He is a very slow host, but makes it up for heavy singular hits on single targets to deal massive damage.
Upon reaching Phase 2 of Light Beneath Closed Eyes with Prophet, the game shows its true name, Doomdestine.
Appearance[]
Prophet has a blue color scheme and wields a large light-spear. It appears to be wearing a crown of some kind which resembles a classic Roblox hat known as the Domino Crown.
The spear has a crystal embedded on its head and has a gray handle.
Playstyle[]
Prophet is considered the fastest tank host. His attacks appear slow, and they have blindspots in front of him, but their massive damage compensates.

Tips and Tricks[]
- When using Heavy Strike, avoid being too close to the enemy, as the hitbox is only on the blade of the spear
- The Rush tempo almost completely mitigates the windup time of Heavy Strike
- The Star tempo is perfect for Heavy Strike because of its timing: Heavy Strike winds up for 1 second and attacks for 1 second, with a 10 second cooldown that begins when the attack starts, while Star freezes time for enemies for 2 seconds -- the exact amount of time needed to charge and land a heavy strike -- with the exact same cooldown time as Heavy Strike itself when the attack is finished, 8 seconds. This means every usage of Heavy Strike can be done in conjunction with Star to guarantee a hit with each use
- Note that when the spear is thrown with the obtainable skill Sky Break Javelin, it becomes a projectile and thus can be reflected back at the Prophet with Bloxxerman's Shield
Trivia[]
- Back when HOURS was in development, Prophet's name was "Spearlight", and his full title was "Fate Bound, Fate Sealed, Fate Denied- Endritch Doomdestine Caeseworth, He Who Awaits at the End of the Line"
- With the right upgrades, Prophet can easily complete the game without taking any true damage, making him the ideal Host for unlocking Drifter
- "Awaken, My Servant" is a reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and the "Awaken, my masters!" line from Wamuu
- The Prophet appears as a gladiator card in a Roblox card game named "Blox Cards"
- The term Prophet is used to describe a particularly inspired teacher, hence the relation of many of its upgrade names
- "Hard Light Spear" might be a reference to Hard Light Bridges from Portal 2.
- "Eyes Of The Death God" might be a reference to the anime "Death Note",
