Nectar Vial
The Nectar Vial acts as a meter, which is filled by interacting with the Event Objectives. A filled Nectar Vial will grant the Player 1 Putrid Serum.
The Vial has 3 Markers on it, which are only important for Survivors as they can lose Putrid Nectar upon death. They mark 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3 of a Nectar Vial. Any amount of Nectar that doesn't fill the Vial to the nearest upper Marker will be lost. Any Nectar that already fills a Marker, however, will be save.
Putrid Serum
The Putrid Serum acts as a currency, which is obtained by filling Nectar Vials. It is exclusive to the The Hallowed Blight Event and will expire shortly after it ends.
It is used to purchase parts out of the The Hallowed Blight cosmetics.
The maximum amount of obtainable Putrid Serum are 60 Vials, enough to unlock 2 entire outfits or 6 cosmetic pieces to your choice. In order to obtain 60 Vials, one must play equal parts Survivor and Killer as either side is capped at obtaining only 30 Vials.
The Cosmetic Rewards will remain on the regular shop after the Event and remain purchasable with Template:IconLink.
Challenge
The Event features personal Challenges that require the Player to fill Nectar Vials in order to unlock Putrid Serum with which they can buy the Cosmetic Rewards.
Each Map spawns with 2 Visceral Cankers and 2 Cankerous Hooks by default.
The Player can find and burn a new Offering called the Pustula Petals, calling upon The Template:IconLink for additional Cankers and Hooks, up to a total of 7 Cankers and Hooks.
The Player fills the Nectar Vial when they harvest Visceral Cankers or hook Survivors for the first time on Cankerous Hooks to extract Putrid Nectar. They also gain bonus Template:IconLink for doing so. All bonus Bloodpoints are awarded post-trial during the tally screen and only if the Player had burnt a Template:IconLink Offering. Survivors will lose any Nectar that isn't filling the Vial up to the nearest Marker upon death. Any Nectar that does is safe however. Survivors who burnt the Offering will receive the bonus Bloodpoints from harvesting a Visceral Canker even if it was harvested by another Survivor.
The Player needs to fill as many Nectar Vials as possible, which will then be turned into Putrid Serums with which one can unlock the The Hallowed Blight up to 3 outfit pieces.
The Hallowed Blight Lore
Each Event-day featured a unique piece of Lore from Benedict Baker's Journal:
28 October - At Last
Based on Vigo's calculations, tonight is my last chance. I filled a syringe with the last drops of serum and injected it into my arm. |
29 October - The End
I did everything right⦠and failed. I am stuck in this infernal place with no serum and nowhere to hide. |
31 October - Pray
Soon, very soon, I will be at peace. The cold claws of death are drawing near. |
It's here. The Entity is here. It has found me. |
Trivia
- As can be seen in the second short film of the Event, the Putrid Serum, causes Killers to mutate if they are injected with it.
- Each The Hallowed Blight Cosmetic has a syringe full of Serum stuck into the Killer's flesh.
- Originally, the Event only lasted until Halloween and only 1 outfit or 3 cosmetic pieces could be obtained with Putrid Serum, however, a lot of negative and disappointed feedback from the Community eventually prompted the Developers to increase the obtainable cosmetics to 2 outfits/6 cosmetic pieces and extend the Event until the 2nd of November.
- Half-way through the Event, following another flood of negative feedback regarding long queue times for Killer Lobbies, the Developers decided to remove the constraint of having to play both sides to obtain all 60 Vials and allowed people to get 60 Vials with either side.
