Heinrich I was an evil warlord who launched a campaign of conquest in Medieval Europe. He had studied the black arts and used them to his advantage by raising an army of undead warriors, the Dark Knights. In the intro movie, in 943 AD, a benevolent wizard by the name of Simon the Wanderer confronts Heinrich, seeking to end his reign of terror. After a brief battle, the mystic realizes he cannot destroy Heinrich, so he instead magically seals the tyrant in limbo.

After a thousand years, Heinrich was brought back to life by SS High Priestess Marianna Blavatsky and was eager to resume his reign of terror. Unfortunately he sensed the presence of the American soldier B.J. Blazkowicz who confronted him in a duel. After a fierce fight, Heinrich was ultimately destroyed by Blazkowicz, ensuring that the warlord's powers will not be used by the SS Paranormal Division.

Strategy

  • Heinrich I is considering to be most health enemy that you ever faced and has around 4970 health points on normal difficulty. While on hard mode, he has approximately 10000 Health points considering on the latest patch which upgrades him to a much harder boss to fight with, no matter what difficultly you are playing, he is the most durable but still not the most harmful opponent in RTCW, prepare lots of ammunition to fight him. His abilities are somewhat similar to Olaric, but he has more tricks under his sleeve.
  • Despite, he is the final boss and brutally appearance. He is actually much simple and easily boss as his attack by summoning Dark Knight, me-lee attack by swinging sword and godforsaken spirit to chase you to turn you black.
  • One strategy is that you use either the Tesla Gun or the Venom or both. The spread damage from both weapons will hurt not only Heinrich but the enemies around him. You'll quickly defeat any undead and Dark knights around him and slowly hurt Heinrich. Just be at a distance; this tactic is not effective if you're too close.
