Template:InfoKiller Elliot Spencer or "The Cenobite", also known as "Pinhead", is one of 35 Template:IconLink currently featured in Template:IconLink.

He was introduced as the Killer of CHAPTER XXI: Hellraiser, a Chapter DLC released on 7 September 2021.

He originates from the 1987 Horror Movie franchise, Hellraiser.


Overview

K25 storeBackground

The Cenobite is a summoning Killer, able to possess Chain Projectiles and use the Lament Configuration to torture every Survivor at once.

His personal Perks, Template:IconLink, Template:IconLink, and Template:IconLink, allow him to slow Generator Progression and continue to torment Survivor who have experienced his sweet suffering.

Difficulty rating: Hard

(based on the amount of time and effort that is required to properly learn to play him and use his Power effectively)


Lore

Pinhead Lore1

A demon to some, an angel to others. Pinhead is an explorer in the further regions of experience, indulging in the limitless thrill of pleasure and pain. When the puzzle box known as the Lament Configuration — a key to another dimension — was found in The Entity's Realm, it was only a matter of time before it fell into curious hands. Once opened, he arrived. What came next was sweet suffering that spilled over the Realm.


The Cenobite's Perks

These are Perks which start off only appearing in The Cenobite's Template:IconLink. After achieving Level 30, Teachable versions of these Perks can be found:

  • Deadlock - Level 30
  • Hex: Plaything - Level 35
  • Scourge Hook: Gift of Pain - Level 40

Once obtained, other Killers will be able to find The Cenobite's Perks in their respective Bloodwebs from that point onwards. Template:Char Perks

Power: Summons of Pain

FulliconPowers summonsOfPain
Quotes left An extradimensional gateway that leads to pleasure and pain so great it will tear your soul apart. Quotes right


SUMMONS OF PAIN: Atl Hud PB CreateGateway
The Cenobite can create a gateway from which to summon a Possessed Chain.


SPECIAL ATTACK: POSSESSED CHAIN: Atl Hud AB SummonChain
Press the Power button to create a gateway and release the button to open it.
Once opened, tap the Ability button to summon forth a Possessed Chain under your control.

Directing the Possessed Chain into a Survivor will bind them with an uncontrolled Chain.


Chains:
A Survivor bound with a regular Chain is unable to sprint, suffers from the IncapacitatedIconStatusEffects incapacitated Status Effect, and cannot leave through the Exit GateIconHelp exitGates.
If the Chain is not broken, a second and eventually a third Chain will appear and bind them as well, each applying a stack-able Movement Speed penalty to the Survivor.

The Exit-Gate-Blocker lingers for 5 seconds after the Chains are removed.


Breaking Chains: Atl Hud Icon BreakChains
Bound Survivors can perform the Break Free action to break free from the Chains.
Each Chain needs to be broken separately.

If the bound Survivor brings any environmental object between them and a Chain's Gateway, the Chain will break immediately.
However, this action causes a replacement Chain to spawn and attempt to rebind the Survivor.

If other Survivors, or The Cenobite himself, walk through a Chain, the Chain will also break immediately, without spawning a replacement Chain.


SPECIAL INTERACTION: THE LAMENT CONFIGURATION: Icons Hud Icon Solve
Upon starting the Trial, the Lament Configuration spawns in a random location in the Trial Grounds, and does so after each time it has been interacted with.

Survivors can see the AuraIconHelp auras of the Lament Configuration, which is white when idle and yellow during an on-going Chain Hunt.

Any Survivor can pick-up the Lament Configuration and carry it with them, but not without experiencing some suffering.

  • The Survivor suffers permanently from the ObliviousIconStatusEffects oblivious Status Effect.
  • The Survivor is intermittently attacked with Chains summoned by the Lament Configuration.

The Lament Configuration cannot be dropped, it must be solved to remove it from their possession.
Solving the Lament Configuration will indicate the Survivor's location to the The Cenobite through Killer Instinct.


SPECIAL ABILITY: TELEPORTATION: Atl Hud AB Teleport
While the Lament Configuration is being solved, The Cenobite can choose to teleport to that Survivor's location.
This causes the Lament Configuration to open and bind the Survivor with three small Chains while The Cenobite completes the teleportation.


SPECIAL ABILITY: CHAIN HUNT:
If left to its own devices, the Lament Configuration eventually initiates a Chain Hunt.
During a Chain Hunt, the Lament Configuration continuously summons Chains that pursue and attempt to bind every Survivor, until any Survivor picks up the Lament Configuration, which ends the Chain Hunt.

The Cenobite can pick up the Lament Configuration himself, which will immediately start a Chain Hunt.
Additionally, all Survivors are instantly bound by Chains, causing them to scream and reveal their respective locations.

Trivia

  • With the release of Chapter 21, all of The Cenobite voice lines have been removed from the game.
    • Official stance on their removal is - "The Cenobite's voice over lines have been removed due to complications with the audio files."
    • The Chatterer, however, has audio lines of his teeth clicks.
  • His animations and gestures are nods to his stature in the Hellraiser movies as he held himself with a graceful attitude.

PTB Trivia

  • The Cenobite was the fourth Killer in the Game to speak:
    • When teleporting to a Survivor solving the Lament Configuration, he said either of four lines:
      • "You opened the Box, I came!" (twice in different tones of voice and emphasis)
      • "The Box, you opened it! I came!"
      • "The Box, you opened it! And I came!"
    • Performing his Memento Mori, he utters the following line:
      • "I shall tear your soul apart!"
    • All of these are slightly altered versions of voice lines from the first Hellraiser movie.
