DEILDEGAST

ENTITY • EVIDENCE: EMF • WRITING • DOTS

← BACK

THE DEILDEGAST HAS THE FASTEST BASE SPEED IN THE GAME (3.0 M/S) BUT HAS NO LINE-OF-SIGHT ACCELERATION AT ALL — ITS SPEED STAYS FIXED EVEN WHEN IT SPOTS YOU, MAKING IT PREDICTABLE ONCE YOU KNOW THAT. UNIQUE QUIRK: ITS SPEED DROPS BY 0.1 M/S FOR EACH UNIQUE OBJECT THE TEAM INTERACTS WITH OUTSIDE OF HUNTS (SWITCHES, BREAKER BOX, FAUCETS, THROWABLE OBJECTS...) — IT REACHES STANDARD SPEED (1.7 M/S) AFTER ABOUT 13 INTERACTIONS, AND ITS MINIMUM (0.4 M/S) AFTER ABOUT 26. DELIBERATELY INTERACTING WITH AS MANY OBJECTS AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THE FIRST HUNT WILL CONCRETELY SLOW IT DOWN — BUT ITS SPEED RESETS TO 3.0 M/S AS SOON AS A HUNT ENDS OR A CRUCIFIX IS BURNED.

HOW TO IDENTIFY IT

PRIORITY

EARLY IN THE GAME, BEFORE ANY OBJECT INTERACTIONS, IT HUNTS AT A BLISTERING SPEED OF 3.0 M/S
DELIBERATELY INTERACT WITH MANY OBJECTS (SWITCHES, FAUCETS, THROWABLE OBJECTS) TO SLOW IT DOWN BEFORE THE NEXT HUNT
IF ITS SPEED NEVER CHANGES WITH LINE OF SIGHT FROM ONE HUNT TO THE NEXT, THAT CONFIRMS THE DEILDEGAST'S LACK OF ACCELERATION

HUNTING BEHAVIOR

CAN HUNT AT 50% AVERAGE SANITY
MOVES AT A BASE SPEED OF 3.0 M/S, THE FASTEST OF ALL ENTITIES
HAS NO LINE-OF-SIGHT ACCELERATION AT ALL — ITS SPEED STAYS FIXED EVEN WHEN SPOTTED

SPECIAL MECHANICS

ITS SPEED DECREASES BY 0.1 M/S FOR EACH UNIQUE OBJECT PLAYERS INTERACT WITH OUTSIDE OF HUNTS (THROWABLE OBJECTS, SWITCHES, BREAKER BOX, FAUCETS...)
INTERACTIONS FROM ALREADY-DEAD PLAYERS COUNT TOO — IT IS THE ONLY ENTITY WHERE THIS WORKS
DO NOT COUNT: CURSED OBJECTS, DOORS, AND EQUIPMENT
REACHES THE STANDARD SPEED OF 1.7 M/S AFTER ABOUT 13 OBJECT INTERACTIONS
REACHES ITS MINIMUM SPEED OF 0.4 M/S AFTER ABOUT 26 INTERACTIONS
ITS SPEED RESETS TO 3.0 M/S AS SOON AS A HUNT ENDS, OR AS SOON AS A CRUCIFIX IS CONSUMED (BURNED)

STRATEGY

DELIBERATELY INTERACT WITH AS MANY OBJECTS AS POSSIBLE BEFORE EACH HUNT TO SLOW IT DOWN, EVEN INTERACTIONS FROM ALREADY-DEAD PLAYERS COUNT. ONCE SLOWED, ITS SPEED STAYS FIXED WITH NO LINE-OF-SIGHT ACCELERATION, SO YOU CAN CALCULATE YOUR ESCAPE MARGIN PRECISELY INSTEAD OF PANICKING.
