KORMOS

ENTITY • EVIDENCE: ORBS • UV • SPIRIT BOX

← BACK

THE KORMOS IS NEARLY BLIND: IT ONLY SEES PLAYERS WITHIN 5 METERS WITH NO OBSTACLE, AND MOSTLY REACTS TO SOUND — FOOTSTEPS, VOICES, POWERED-ON EQUIPMENT. IT DETECTS A CROUCHING PLAYER UP TO 10 METERS AWAY, A STANDING ONE UP TO 15, AND A SPRINTING ONE UP TO 30 METERS: STAYING STILL AND SILENT DURING A HUNT CAN LITERALLY MAKE IT WALK RIGHT PAST YOU WITHOUT NOTICING. WATCH OUT: SPRINTING IN ITS ROOM RAISES ITS HUNT THRESHOLD TO 70% INSTEAD OF 50%. ANOTHER CLUE: IT NEVER TRIGGERS THE MIST FORM EVENT, UNLIKE MOST OTHER ENTITIES.

HOW TO IDENTIFY IT

PRIORITY

LINE OF SIGHT DOESN'T MATTER TO IT AT ALL, ONLY SOUND COUNTS (FOOTSTEPS, VOICES, POWERED-ON EQUIPMENT)
STAYING STILL AND SILENT DURING A HUNT CAN MAKE IT PASS RIGHT BY YOU WITHOUT NOTICING YOU
IF YOU SPRINT IN ITS ROOM, IT CAN HUNT AT 70% SANITY INSTEAD OF 50%

HUNTING BEHAVIOR

CAN HUNT AT 50% AVERAGE SANITY, UP TO 70% IF A PLAYER SPRINTS IN ITS ROOM
MOVES AT AN INITIAL SPEED OF 1.7 M/S
REACHES 2.21 M/S WHEN IT DETECTS A PLAYER BY SOUND
CAN REACH A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 3.65 M/S

SPECIAL MECHANICS

THE KORMOS IS NEARLY BLIND: IT ONLY SEES PLAYERS WITHIN 5 M WITH NO OBSTACLE, AND MOSTLY REACTS TO SOUND
DETECTS CROUCHING PLAYERS UP TO 10 METERS AWAY, STANDING PLAYERS UP TO 15 METERS, AND SPRINTING PLAYERS UP TO 30 METERS
NEVER TRIGGERS A MIST FORM EVENT
KILLS INSTANTLY AT 0.5 M (INSTEAD OF 1.1 M) AND WITH A 1-SECOND DELAY AT 0.6 M (INSTEAD OF 1.5 M) FOR OTHER ENTITIES

STRATEGY

STAY STILL AND SILENT DURING A HUNT, BUT DO NOT ASSUME YOU ARE INVISIBLE UP CLOSE: IT CAN STILL SEE YOU WITHIN 5 METERS WITH NO OBSTACLE. ITS KILL RANGE IS ALSO SHORTER THAN OTHER ENTITIES (0.5 M), WHICH LEAVES A SLIGHTLY BIGGER MARGIN FOR ERROR IF IT SPOTS YOU.
