DAYAN

ENTITY • EVIDENCE: EMF • ORBS • SPIRIT BOX

← BACK

THE DAYAN REACTS TO THE NEAREST PLAYER WITHIN A 10-METER RADIUS: IF THAT PLAYER IS MOVING, IT MOVES AT A FIXED SPEED OF 2.25 M/S AND ITS HUNT THRESHOLD RISES TO 65%; IF THEY STAY STILL, IT SLOWS TO A FIXED 1.2 M/S AND ITS THRESHOLD DROPS TO 45% — THESE VALUES IGNORE THE USUAL GRADUAL ACCELERATION AND STANDARD 50% THRESHOLD. THE MOST RELIABLE TEST: DURING A HUNT, STAY STILL NEAR IT THEN SUDDENLY MOVE — IF ITS SPEED NEARLY DOUBLES INSTANTLY, IT'S A DAYAN. THE KORMOS ALSO REACTS TO PLAYER MOVEMENT BUT THROUGH A DIFFERENT MECHANISM (LISTENING) — DON'T MIX THEM UP.

HOW TO IDENTIFY IT

PRIORITY

DURING A HUNT, STAY STILL NEAR IT THEN MOVE: AN ALMOST INSTANT DOUBLING OF ITS SPEED CONFIRMS A DAYAN
STAYING STILL NEAR IT ALSO REDUCES ITS HUNT CHANCE (45% THRESHOLD INSTEAD OF 65% IF YOU MOVE)
IF IT SPEEDS UP WITHOUT ANY NEARBY PLAYER MOVING, SUSPECT AN OBAMBO OR A GALLU INSTEAD
CONFIRM WITH EMF LEVEL 5, GHOST ORB, AND SPIRIT BOX

HUNTING BEHAVIOR

REACTS TO THE NEAREST PLAYER WITHIN A 10-METER RADIUS (IF THERE ARE SEVERAL, ONLY THE CLOSEST ONE COUNTS)
IF THAT PLAYER IS MOVING: FIXED SPEED OF 2.25 M/S AND A 65% HUNT THRESHOLD
IF THAT PLAYER STAYS STILL: FIXED SPEED OF 1.2 M/S AND A 45% HUNT THRESHOLD
WITH NO PLAYER NEARBY, IT FOLLOWS STANDARD BEHAVIOR (50% THRESHOLD, GRADUAL ACCELERATION)

SPECIAL MECHANICS

ITS SPEED IS DIRECTLY TIED TO THE NEAREST PLAYER'S MOVEMENT — IT'S NOT THE ONLY ENTITY LIKE THIS: THE KORMOS ALSO REACTS TO PLAYER MOVEMENT (BY LISTENING TO THEIR FOOTSTEPS), BUT THROUGH A DIFFERENT MECHANISM
ITS HUNT THRESHOLD FOLLOWS THE SAME LOGIC AS ITS SPEED: 65% IF THE NEARBY PLAYER IS MOVING, 45% IF STILL, 50% WITH NO PLAYER WITHIN 10 M
THESE FIXED SPEEDS IGNORE THE USUAL GRADUAL ACCELERATION TIED TO EYE CONTACT
THE DAYAN IS ALWAYS A FEMALE ENTITY

STRATEGY

IF A HUNT STARTS NEAR YOU, STAY STILL RATHER THAN PANICKING AND RUNNING: THIS SLOWS IT TO 1.2 M/S AND REDUCES ITS HUNT CHANCE (45% THRESHOLD INSTEAD OF 65%). ONLY MOVE IF YOU ARE SURE YOU CAN REACH A HIDING SPOT IN A SINGLE QUICK MOVE.

HUNT THRESHOLD AND SPEED (BASED ON NEAREST PLAYER)

NEARBY PLAYER MOVING: 65% THRESHOLD - FIXED 2.25 M/SNEARBY PLAYER STILL: 45% THRESHOLD - FIXED 1.2 M/SNO PLAYER WITHIN 10M: 50% THRESHOLD - STANDARD SPEED
