DEMON

ENTITY • EVIDENCE: UV • WRITING • FREEZING

THE DEMON IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS ENTITIES: THANKS TO ITS ABILITY, IT CAN TRIGGER A HUNT AT ANY SANITY PERCENTAGE, OFTEN WITHOUT WARNING AND EARLIER THAN MOST OTHER ENTITIES. INCENSE IS STILL USEFUL BUT LESS EFFECTIVE AGAINST IT (1 MINUTE OF RELIEF INSTEAD OF 1 MINUTE 30), WHILE CRUCIFIXES GAIN 50% EXTRA RANGE — PLACE ONE AS A PRIORITY IF YOU SUSPECT IT. ANOTHER CLUE: ITS MINIMUM COOLDOWN BETWEEN TWO HUNTS DROPS TO 20 SECONDS INSTEAD OF 25.

HOW TO IDENTIFY IT

PRIORITY

DURING A HUNT, USING INCENSE WILL PREVENT IT FROM HUNTING FOR 1 MINUTE INSTEAD OF 1 MINUTE 30
WATCH WHETHER THE DEMON HUNTS WITH A MINIMUM COOLDOWN OF 20 SECONDS BETWEEN HUNTS INSTEAD OF 25 SECONDS
CRUCIFIXES HAVE A 50% INCREASED RANGE AGAINST THE DEMON, MEANING THEY CAN PREVENT A HUNT OVER A WIDER AREA
IF A CRUCIFIX IS USED AND THE DEMON DOESN'T HUNT IN THAT AREA, THAT CAN HELP CONFIRM ITS IDENTITY

HUNTING BEHAVIOR

CAN HUNT AT 70% AVERAGE SANITY
CAN HUNT AT ANY TIME VIA ITS ABILITY
MOVES AT AN INITIAL SPEED OF 1.7 M/S
MOVES AT A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 2.8 M/S

SPECIAL MECHANICS

IT CAN HUNT AT ANY SANITY PERCENTAGE
THE DEMON IS KNOWN FOR STARTING ITS HUNTS EARLIER THAN MOST OTHER ENTITIES, OFTEN WITHOUT WARNING
USING INCENSE PREVENTS THE DEMON FROM HUNTING FOR 1 MINUTE

STRATEGY

PLACE CRUCIFIXES AS A PRIORITY IF YOU SUSPECT IT: THEIR 50% INCREASED RANGE AGAINST IT MAKES THEM YOUR BEST DEFENSE. ALSO KEEP IN MIND ITS ABILITY CAN TRIGGER A HUNT AT ANY MOMENT, EVEN AT FULL SANITY - NEVER FULLY LET YOUR GUARD DOWN, NOT EVEN EARLY IN THE CONTRACT.
