Invocation: Treacherous Crows
Teachable by Taurie Cain
Perform a ritual in the Basement to reveal Survivors when Crows are startled, at the cost of being Broken.
Description
"One with arcane knowledge has no reason to fear those watchful birds."
When in the Basement near the circle, press the Active Ability button to begin the Invocation, which takes 60 seconds to complete.
During an Invocation, your Aura is revealed to all other Survivors and they can join in, accelerating the process by +100 %, if they too have an Invocation Perk equipped, or by +50 %, if they have not.
Once the Invocation is completed, the following effects apply:
- Whenever the Killer scares a Crow while a Survivor is inside their Terror Radius, their Aura is revealed to all Survivors for 1/1.5/2 seconds.
- You automatically enter the Injured State from any previous Health State, and suffer from the Broken Status Effect for the remainder of the Trial.
"Remember your training. They taught you all about the crows." — Taurie Cain
