ASWANG

ENTITY • EVIDENCE: DOTS • FREEZING • WRITING

← BACK

THE ASWANG ACCELERATES MUCH FASTER THAN OTHER ENTITIES AS SOON AS IT GETS LINE OF SIGHT ON A PLAYER — IT REACHES MAXIMUM SPEED IN JUST 8.67 SECONDS, VERSUS ABOUT 13 FOR A STANDARD ENTITY. DANGEROUS QUIRK: IF IT CATCHES YOU INSIDE AN OFFICIAL HIDING SPOT (CLOSET, LOCKER), IT MARKS THAT POSITION AND WILL CHARGE STRAIGHT AT IT ON THE NEXT HUNT, WHEREVER YOU ARE ON THE MAP — SWITCH HIDING SPOTS BETWEEN HUNTS. IT CAN ALSO TRIGGER A HUNT WITH A 0-SECOND GRACE PERIOD, MEANING NO TIME AT ALL TO REACT. DON'T CONFUSE IT WITH THE REVENANT: THE REVENANT IS SLOW (1 M/S) UNTIL IT SPOTS YOU, WHILE THE ASWANG IS ALREADY AT 1.53 M/S FROM THE START.

HOW TO IDENTIFY IT

PRIORITY

TRIGGER A HUNT THEN HIDE IN AN OFFICIAL HIDING SPOT: IF THE HUNT ENDS AS SOON AS IT CATCHES YOU, IT'S AN ASWANG
WATCH ITS ACCELERATION SPEED WITH LINE OF SIGHT — IT REACHES ITS MAXIMUM MUCH FASTER THAN AVERAGE (8.67S)
DON'T CONFUSE IT WITH THE REVENANT: THE REVENANT IS SLOW (1 M/S) UNTIL IT SPOTS YOU, WHILE THE ASWANG IS ALREADY AT 1.53 M/S FROM THE START

HUNTING BEHAVIOR

CAN HUNT AT 50% AVERAGE SANITY
MOVES AT AN INITIAL SPEED OF 1.53 M/S
CAN REACH A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 2.53 M/S WITH LINE OF SIGHT

SPECIAL MECHANICS

ACCELERATES MUCH FASTER THAN OTHER ENTITIES AS SOON AS IT GETS LINE OF SIGHT ON A PLAYER, REACHING MAXIMUM SPEED IN JUST 8.67 SECONDS (VERSUS ABOUT 13 SECONDS FOR A STANDARD ENTITY)
DURING A HUNT, THE HUNT ONLY ENDS IF IT CATCHES YOU INSIDE AN OFFICIAL HIDING SPOT (CLOSET, LOCKER, ETC.), NOT SIMPLY BY SEEING YOU ENTER ONE
IF IT CATCHES YOU IN A HIDING SPOT, IT MARKS A WAYPOINT ON YOUR POSITION FOR THE NEXT HUNT: THAT HUNT WILL START WITH THE ASWANG HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THAT SPOT, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE ON THE MAP
CAN SOMETIMES TRIGGER A HUNT WITH A 0-SECOND GRACE PERIOD

STRATEGY

IF IT SPOTS YOU DURING A HUNT, DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY RUN TO THE NEAREST OFFICIAL HIDING SPOT: IF IT CATCHES YOU THERE, IT MEMORIZES THAT SPOT AND WILL RUSH STRAIGHT TO IT AT THE START OF THE NEXT HUNT. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN CAUGHT IN A HIDING SPOT ONCE, SWITCH AREAS BETWEEN HUNTS RATHER THAN GOING BACK OUT OF HABIT.
