Gameplay[]

At the end of Chapter 1: A Risky Gamble, an Acanti who resides in the Quarantine Zone attacks the Guardians. It has a boss cinematic, with a title and Health Bar appearing, but before the player can begin the battle, it is killed by a mysterious shadow.

Later on, during Chapter 3: The Cost of Freedom, multiple Acanti are seen flourishing in Seknarf Nine near Lady Hellbender's Fortress's fortress while the team crosses the bridge. Finally, when the team and Mantis persuade Hellbender to help them fight the Universal Church of Truth during Chapter 14: Into The Fire, she appears with a flock of Acanti and Hellraiser ships.

ACANTI

Legends about the Acanti say that these giant space whales are spiritual knowledge-seekers who travel the cosmos in search of ancient wisdom and then, upon their impending deaths, hurl themselves into stars so that their souls may pass onto the next Acanti.

These tales certainly do not match the Acanti living on Seknarf Nine under the care of the Monster Queen. But Lady Hellbender has an explanation. She claims her Acanti are rescues, taken from the Brood, who wanted to use them as spacefaring vessels. Her whales had been lobotomized, robbed of their free will. She has returned what she could to them. They fly free and are welcome to leave, should they again seek the stars. Instead, they remain near their savior. Oddly, these creatures known for their peaceful nature fight vigorously to protect their Queen.
