MARE

ENTITY • EVIDENCE: ORBS • WRITING • SPIRIT BOX

← BACK

THE MARE HAS A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH LIGHT: IT CAN NEVER TURN LIGHTS ON BUT CAN TURN THEM OFF, AND ITS HUNT THRESHOLD CHANGES DEPENDING ON THE LIGHTING — 60% AVERAGE SANITY IF THE LIGHTS ARE OFF, ONLY 40% IF THEY'RE ON. KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON THEREFORE CONCRETELY REDUCES ITS CHANCES OF HUNTING. IT HAS A 10-SECOND COOLDOWN BETWEEN TURNING OFF LIGHTS: IF A LIGHT GOES OUT ALMOST AS SOON AS YOU TURN IT BACK ON, THAT'S A VERY GOOD SIGN.

HOW TO IDENTIFY IT

PRIORITY

IF LIGHTS TURN OFF IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING SWITCHED ON, THAT CAN INDICATE ITS PRESENCE
IT HAS A 10-SECOND COOLDOWN BEFORE IT CAN TURN OFF A LIGHT AGAIN
IF IT OFTEN MOVES THROUGH UNLIT ROOMS, THAT SUGGESTS IT'S ACTIVE AND LOOKING TO HUNT

HUNTING BEHAVIOR

CAN HUNT AT 60% AVERAGE SANITY IF THE LIGHTS ARE OFF
CAN HUNT AT 40% AVERAGE SANITY IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON
MOVES AT AN INITIAL SPEED OF 1.7 M/S
MOVES AT A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 2.8 M/S

SPECIAL MECHANICS

IT HATES LIGHT. IT CANNOT TURN LIGHTS ON, BUT IT CAN TURN THEM OFF
IT IS MORE POWERFUL IN THE DARK, WHICH INCREASES ITS CHANCES OF STARTING A HUNT
ITS ABILITY TO HUNT IS REDUCED IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON

STRATEGY

KEEP AS MANY LIGHTS ON AS POSSIBLE IN THE ROOMS YOU INVESTIGATE, EVEN IF IT COMPLICATES SOME EVIDENCE: THIS DROPS ITS HUNT THRESHOLD FROM 60% TO 40%, CLEARLY REDUCING ITS CHANCES OF STARTING A HUNT. DO NOT PANIC IF A LIGHT GOES OUT BY ITSELF, YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS BEFORE IT CAN DO IT AGAIN.
