Bear Trap

A large foothold trap made of steel. Bear Traps are found lying around throughout the Trial Grounds, waiting to be picked up and set anywhere.

BEAR TRAP:
The Trapper starts the Trial with 2 Bear Traps equipped, with 6 Bear Traps spawned randomly throughout the Trial Grounds.
The Trapper sees the Auras of every Bear Trap at all times.

Collecting Bear Traps:
Press the Interaction button while standing near a disarmed Bear Trap to collect it.
The Trapper can carry 2 Bear Traps at a time.

Setting Bear Traps:
Press and hold the Power button to set and arm a Bear Trap in a valid location in front of The Trapper.

An armed Bear Trap will trap and immobilise any Survivor who steps into it.
If the Survivor was healthy, they will be put into the Injured State .
An armed Bear Trap will also trap The Trapper, if he steps into it.
This temporarily immobilises him while he frees his foot and resets the Bear Trap.
If he was carrying a Survivor, that Survivor will escape from his shoulder.
A trapped Survivor can attempt to free themselves from the Bear Trap or have another Survivor rescue them.

Catching Survivors in Bear Traps:
Press the Interaction button on a trapped Survivor to lift them out of the Bear Trap and onto The Trapper's shoulder.

Resetting Bear Traps:

Press and hold it again to uncloak, granting a short Lunge forward for 1 second upon re-appearing.
The Wailing Bell can be heard up to 24 metres away, and the accompanying *Wooosh* noise up to 40 metres away.

Cloak:

Grants near total invisibility when moving and total invisibility while standing still for a moment.
The Wraith is completely invisible from farther than 20 metres away.
Grants increased Movement speed (6.0 m/s).
Grants the Undetectable Status Effect.
The Wraith is unable to attack, but can interact with environmental objects.

Light Vulnerability:
Interacting with the Spirit World causes The Wraith to suffer from Lightburn, which leaves him vulnerable to bright lights:

When he is cloaked, shining Flashlights directly at The Wraith or detonating Firecrackers or Flash Grenades near him will stun him and force him to uncloak.

Chainsaw

A hulking and deadly Chainsaw of terrifying strength. Grinds through flesh, bone, and soul. Once revved up, sends its user into a violent frenzy.

CHAINSAW:
Press and hold the Power button to break into a Chainsaw Sprint, moving at twice your regular Movement speed (9.2 m/s).
Survivors hit during a Chainsaw Sprint are put into the Dying State .

Each Chainsaw action (starting, revving, and sprinting) will cause the Overheat meter to fill.
When the Overheat meter is filled, the Chainsaw cannot be used until its fully cooled down.
- Reaching the Overheat limit will not interrupt an ongoing Chainsaw Sprint.
The Overheat meter decreases when the Chainsaw is not in use.

Detention

Detention is an unused Killer Power for an unused Killer.

This Power's icon, along with those of the Item Trapple

and the Perk Underperform

were added sometime in July or August 2016, before The Nurse's release, which fuelled speculations about the then upcoming new Killer being teacher-themed.

Spencer's Last Breath

A powerful and violent last breath snatched from Crotus Prenn Asylum Warden Patrick Spencer.
Channelling its energy allows The Nurse to pierce and jump through the Spirit World in a blink multiple times in a row. Doing so leaves her in a state of fatigue.

SPENCER'S LAST BREATH:
Press and hold the Power button to charge a Blink:

Blink for up to 20 metres upon activation.
- During the ensuing Chain Blink Window, charge again to initiate a Chain Blink of up to 12 metres upon activation.
- After either the Chain Blink Window closed or the final Chain Blink elapsed, enter a state of Fatigue (2-3 seconds*).
Grants 1 Chain Blink.

Light Vulnerability:
Interacting with the Spirit World causes The Nurse to suffer from Lightburn, which leaves her vulnerable to bright lights:

Shining Flashlights directly at The Nurse prevents her from charging a Blink for as long as the light is shining at her.
When she is already charging a Blink, shining Flashlights directly at The Nurse or detonating Firecrackers or Flash Grenades near her will stun her, causing her to abort the Blink and go into Fatigue.

Evil Within

The darkness inside feeds his determination to take the life of his prey.

EVIL WITHIN:

Stalking Survivors builds up your progress through Evil Within Tiers.

"I met him, fifteen years ago; I was told there was nothing left; no reason, no conscience, no understanding; and even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong.
I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes... the devil's eyes.
I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up, because I realised that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil." — Dr Sam Loomis

Blackened Catalyst

The Source of The Hag's power, a blackened finger used as a catalyst for her terrible power.
The Hag bends and shapes mud to her will. With simple ritualistic drawings, she creates deceitful duplicates of herself, made from mud and decay, which she can use for various effects.

BLACKENED CATALYST:
Press the Power button to bend down and draw a muddy Phantasm Trap sign:

The Hag can maintain up to 10 Phantasm Traps.
- Each subsequently drawn Phantasm Trap will replace the oldest one.

Phantasm Traps:
Survivors entering the Phantasm Trap's Area of Effect will trip the trap, spawning a Mud Phantasm:

The Mud Phantasm will yank the Survivor's camera towards it, disorienting them.
The Mud Phantasm will emit a fake, short-ranged Terror Radius and keep its sight trained on the Survivor disappearing.

Survivors can prevent tripping a Phantasm Trap by either crouching within or interacting with Props within its Area of Effect.

Light Vulnerability:
Phantasm Traps are vulnerable to bright lights:

Shining Flashlights near Phantasm Traps will reveal their Aura to the Survivor.
Shining Flashlights directly at Phantasm Traps or detonating Firecrackers or Flash Grenades near them will destroy them.
Destroying a Phantasm Trap notifies The Hag with a Loud Noise Notification.

SPECIAL ABILITY: Teleport

Press the Active Ability button to teleport to a tripped Phantasm Trap located within a range of 40 metres, taking the place of the Mud Phantasm.

Carter's Spark

Is it a gift, or a curse?
The Entity has ignited a corrupted and inexhaustible spark in The Doctor's heart which allows him to generate electroconvulsive power at will.
His insidious treatment corrupts the minds of those it touches.
Victims shocked by the corrupt spark begin to lose their grip on reality and, with repeated exposure, inevitably succumb to madness.

CARTER'S SPARK:
Successfully striking Survivors with The Doctor's special abilities, Shock Therapy and Static Blast, increases the Survivors' Madness, eventually afflicting them with the Madness Status Effect and triggering increasingly potent effects:

Causes Survivors to scream once, revealing their location to The Doctor.
Slight chance to trigger Madness Skill Checks (33 %).

Succeeding Snap Out of It will return Survivors back to Madness I.

SPECIAL ABILITY: Shock Therapy

Tantrum
The Tantrum meter slowly fills when revving Bubba's Chainsaw.
Once the meter is full, or after hitting an obstacle during a Chainsaw Sweep, The Cannibal unleashes a Tantrum, wildly slashing out and damaging any Survivors in close proximity, putting them into the Dying State .

Tantrum duration increases by 1 second for each Charge that was consumed.
Lose any remaining Charges.
Tremendously decreased (set to: 0.46 m/s; 11.5 %) Movement speed.

The Tantrum meter decreases when Bubba's Chainsaw is not in use and completely depletes during a Chainsaw Sweep.

Dream Demon

Death won't accept him and thus he remains, a calamity, indisputable master of his victims' nightmares.

DREAM DEMON:
Dream Demon cloaks The Nightmare from awake Survivors, causing them to hear his Terror Radius , but only seeing him fully when he is within 16 metres, and only intermittently from 16 to 32 metres.
The Nightmare is invisible to Survivors when he is farther than 32 metres away.

Micro-Sleep:
The Nightmare's presence in the Trial Grounds induces micro-sleep, passively causing Survivors to fall asleep over 60 seconds, after which they enter the Dream World.

Dream World:
Once inside the Dream World, Survivors suffer from the Oblivious Status Effect:

Survivors only hear The Nightmare's non-directional Lullaby.
Survivors can see and be affected by Dream Traps placed by The Nightmare.

Successful Basic Attacks immediately pull Survivors into the Dream World, unless they recently woke up using an Alarm Clock .

Waking Up:
Survivors have several ways to wake up and leave the Dream World:

Failing Skill Checks
Have an awake Survivor perform the Wake Up action on them.
Each successive Wake Up action will take twice as long to perform.

This includes being pulled into the Dream World by successful Basic Attacks.

SPECIAL ABILITY: Dream Snare
Press and hold the Power button to place a Dream Snare on the ground directly in front of The Nightmare.

A Dream Pallet dropped by a Survivor will be destroyed immediately and not stun The Nightmare.

Press and hold the Active Ability button to perform a Dream Projection and teleport to a Generator in view.
Releasing the button early will cancel the action.

For each Survivor in the Dream World, the cool-down of using Dream Projection is reduced by a stack-able 15 %.

"You have nothing to worry about. This won't hurt one... little... bit." — Freddy Krueger

Jigsaw's Baptism

Forever devoted to her master's cause, she punished the ungrateful and the guilty with slyness and murderous puzzles.
The Pig can move stealthily, dash in Ambush Attacks and put deadly Reverse Bear Traps on Survivors' heads.

The Pig starts the Trial with 4 Reverse Bear Traps.

Inactive Reverse Bear Traps:
While standing over a Survivor who is in the Dying State , press the Active Ability button to place an Inactive Reverse Bear Trap on that Survivor's head.

Survivors may attempt to free themselves from an Inactive Reverse Bear Trap by searching Jigsaw Boxes for the key.
Jigsaw Boxes are located around the environment.

Active Reverse Bear Traps:
Whenever a Generator is completed, all currently Inactive Reverse Bear Trap will activate:

Active Reverse Bear Traps initiate the Death timer, a countdown timer displayed on the Survivor's Status icon that expires after 150 seconds.
Once the Death timer expires, the Active Reverse Bear Traps snaps open, automatically killing the Survivor.
A Survivor attempting to leave the Trial Grounds through an Exit Gate with an Active Reverse Bear Traps immediately trips the Reverse Bear Trap.
- The trap will beep rapidly warning the Survivor of the active nature, even with the timer paused due to chase or downed.
- The tripping occurs halfway between the gate and the exit.

The Spirit emits an audible, directional cue while Phase Walking within 24 metres of her ethereal form.
When ending a Phase-Walk, The Spirit retains her Movement Speed boost for a brief moment and her Husk fades away.

Husk:

The Husk emits The Spirit's regular Terror Radius .
Survivors may disperse the Husk by shining a Flashlight on it.

Each successful Feral Slash will further increase The Legion's Movement speed in Feral Frenzy by +0.2 m/s, up to a maximum of +0.8 m/s after four successful Feral Slashes.
Attacking a Survivor with a fifth Feral Slash will immediately put them into the Dying State and end Feral Frenzy.

Hitting a Survivor already suffering from the Deep Wound Status Effect or if The Legion misses the attack will immediately end Feral Frenzy.

Vile Purge

While controlling Charlotte, Victor will trigger Killer Instinct on any walking or running Survivors within his Shriek range, revealing their outlines to Charlotte.

When Victor is idle, Survivors can perform the Crush action on him, crushing him in the process and forcing him to re-grow on Charlotte's after 6 seconds.

If a Survivor is already Contaminated, a Tentacle Strike will damage them. It also will increase your Mutation Rate by the same amount as hitting a zombie.

Contamination:
Survivors who become Contaminated suffer briefly from the Hindered Status Effect.

Survivors can cure Contamination by using a Vaccine on themselves or other Survivors.
Vaccines can be found in Supply Cases located throughout the environment, but their number is limited to 4 Supply Cases.

After using a Vaccine, the Survivor's location is briefly revealed by Killer Instinct.

Mutation Rate 1:

No special benefits.

Mutation Rate 2:

Tentacle Strike can destroy Breakable Walls and Pallets .

Mutation Rate 3:

Slightly increases (+1 metre) Tentacle Strike range.
Slightly increases (4.0 m/s (set new value)) Movement speed while charging Tentacle Strike.

SPECIAL ENEMY: Zombies
T-Virus causes 2 Zombies to spawn and roam about the Trial Grounds.

When a Zombie attacks a Survivor, they inflict Contamination.
If a Survivor is already Contaminated, they receive damage.

Zombies can be destroyed with a Tentacle Strike to increase The Nemesis' Mutation Rate, doing so with a Basic Attack will not do so.

Survivors have limited options to interact with Zombies:

Blinding them to lose line-of-sight using Flashlights , Firecrackers , or Flash Grenades .
Destroying them to force a respawn using Pallets .

Zombies destroyed by The Nemesis respawn after 12 seconds.
Zombies destroyed by Survivors respawn after 45 seconds.

Summons of Pain

An extradimensional gateway that leads to pleasure and pain so great it will tear your soul apart.

SUMMONS OF PAIN:
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.

Possessed Chain:
Directing a 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 Incapacitated Status Effect, and cannot leave through the Exit Gate .
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.

Breaking Chains:
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.

Lament Configuration:
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 Aura 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 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.

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.

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.

Birds of Torment

From a wellspring of eternal agony comes a swarm of darkness, a wild and ferocious murder of ink black crows.

BIRDS OF TORMENT
Press the Power button to charge Birds of Torment.
Once fully charged, tap the Attack button to summon a Dire Crow.
This action can be repeated in quick succession by continuously holding the Power button and tapping the Attack button again.

Dire Crow:
When at least one Dire Crow is summoned, it stays idle for a limited amount of time.
Spawning a new Dire Crow will extend the time the previously spawned Dire Crow stays idle.

Tap the Ability button to propel all Idle Dire Crows into flight, following their indicated Flight Path.

Flight Path:
Dire Crows inflict damage to Survivors while still on their Flight Path, which is indicated to The Artist.

Once Dire Crows continue past their individual Flight Paths or fly through an obstacle within it, they turn into a Swarm, able to pass through any obstacles while flying on through the environment.

Swarm:
While a Swarm continues in a straight line throughout the environment, it will reveal any nearby Survivors through Killer Instinct.

If a Swarm collides with a Survivor, it will start to swarm them with a Murder of Crows.
The Aura of the Swarm is revealed to The Artist in white at all times, except for when it is being repelled.

If a Swarm collides with an already Swarmed Survivor, it will inflict damage.

Repel:
Swarmed Survivors can repel the Swarm either by completing the Repel action or by entering a Locker .
During this time, the Swarm's Aura is not revealed to The Artist.

Colliding with an idle Dire Crow while repelling the Swarm, will reset the Repel action.

Light Vulnerability:
Both Idle Dire Crows and Swarms are vulnerable to bright lights:

Shining Flashlights directly at them or detonating Firecrackers or Flash Grenades near them will destroy them.

Deluge of Fear

Through the medium of a mysterious videotape, Sadako spreads her curse to unwitting viewers and causes their untimely deaths.

Before Manifesting, The Onryō gains the Undetectable Status Effect and is invisible to Survivors, but becomes intermittently visible when within 24 metres of them.

SPECIAL ABILITY: MANIFESTATION
The Onryō must physically manifest to attack Survivors.
Press and hold the Power button to Manifest into material form in your current location.

For a brief duration after Manifesting, The Onryō will continue to be intermittently visible to Survivors when within 24 metres.
Afterwards, she will be fully visible within 24 metres for as long as she remains Manifested.

The Onryō can Demanifest by pressing and holding the Power button again.

SPECIAL ABILITY: PROJECTION
The Onryō can also take material form by Projecting herself through a TV .
Press the Ability button while looking at a powered TV to Project into it, shutting off the TV in the process and automatically Manifesting yourself.

All Survivors within 16 metres of the TV gain Condemned progress.

SPECIAL ABILITY: INEXORABLE STARE
A fully Condemned Survivor is revealed by Killer Instinct for 6 seconds and can be killed with the Inexorable Stare when in the Dying State .

SPECIAL INTERACTION: RETRIEVE TAPE / TURN-OFF TV
Survivors can walk up to any TV to retrieve its VHS Tape , which turns off that TV temporarily.
Holding a VHS Tape, they can walk up to any other TV and turn it off temporarily too.
These interactions, however, come at the cost of adding Condemned progress to the Survivor.
Survivors also passively gain Condemned progress over time when holding a VHS Tape.

Retrieving the VHS Tape procs a Loud Noise Notification, revealing the location of a TV, whose Aura

is highlighted to the Survivor.
This TV allows the Survivor to spread The Onryō's message by inserting the VHS Tape into it.
Doing so removes some Condemned progress.

Reign of Darkness

Like a dark thought, The Dredge is difficult to shake.
And when night falls, it is nearly impossible.

REIGN OF DARKNESS:
Start the Trial with 3 Tokens.
Press and hold the Power button to activate The Gloaming.

SPECIAL ABILITY: THE GLOAMING:
Once activated, The Dredge leaves a Remnant behind.
In this state, The Dredge is free to roam the Trial Grounds, albeit at a slower pace.

Aim at a Locker and press the Ability button to teleport into it or press the Attack button to return to the Remnant.
The Remnant is disabled when teleporting to a Locker or when a Survivor touches it.
While in a Locker, aim at any other Locker and press the Ability button to teleport again.
Each teleportation consumes 1 Token.
Exiting the Locker or returning to the Remnant will activate The Gloaming's cool-down of 12 seconds, after which all Tokens are replenished.

SPECIAL INTERACTION: GRABBING SURVIVORS
If The Dredge teleports into a Locker that happens to have a Survivor hiding inside it or is in the process of entering it, The Dredge will automatically grab them and leave the Locker with the Survivor on its shoulder.

SPECIAL INTERACTION: LOCKING LOCKERS
At the start of the Trial, every Locker spawns with an open latch on its doors.
Survivors can walk up to any Locker and close that latch, locking it for The Dredge, but also for other Survivors.
This can be done once per Trial for every Locker.
The latch cannot be closed when another Survivor is hiding inside the Locker.

When The Dredge teleports into a locked Locker, it will slow it down while exiting it.
After breaking free, the lock breaks.
The Dredge can break the latch of locked Lockers from the outside by walking up to it and performing a Basic Attack.

Attempting to lock the Locker The Dredge is currently inside of will cause The Dredge to immediately grab the Survivor.
The same applies when attempting to enter that Locker or generally interacting with it in any way.

SPECIAL ABILITY: NIGHTFALL
Whenever a healthy Survivor is injured, a Survivor is hooked, or The Dredge uses its teleportation power, the Nightfall Meter builds.
The Nightfall Meter fills faster for each Survivor in the Injured State .

Once the Nightfall Meter is full, Nightfall begins automatically, forcing Survivors to navigate in near-total darkness.
Nightfall ends after 60 seconds.
Survivors destroying the Remnant will reduce that time.

During Nightfall, The Dredge benefits from the following effects:

Teleportation to and between Lockers is faster and with a shorter cool-down of 4 seconds.
Grants the Undetectable Status Effect.
