Hex: Face the Darkness
Teachable by The Knight
Hex that makes injured Survivors scream, revealing others' positions to you.
Description
"You make an example of one of your victims, forcing their allies to become awed by your power."
If there is still a Dull Totem in the environment, Hex: Face the Darkness lights a Hex Totem after injuring a Survivor by any means, cursing them with its Hex Effects.
While cursed, the following effects trigger once every 35/30/25 seconds on all other Survivors outside of the Terror Radius:
- Causes them to scream.
- Their Auras are revealed to you for 2 seconds.
Hex: Face the Darkness is deactivated once the Cursed Survivor either returns to Healthy or enters the Dying State by any means, extinguishing the Hex Totem.
The Hex Effects persist until the Hex Totem is either blessed or cleansed by a Survivor, disabling it for the remainder of the Trial.
"I shall make an example of one. These mewling worms will never know peace." — Tarhos Kovács
