The Hallowed Blight is a (potentially recurring) Event in Template:IconLink.
It originally took place between 19 October and 2 November 2018 and will possibly make a rerun this year.
Overview
The Hallowed Blight is a Halloween-themed version of the Scorching Summer BBQ Event.
It was originally teased by the The Hallowed Blight Teaser on the Developers' Instagram on 1 October 2018 and another Teaser on 9 October 2018.
The original Event added a considerable amount of new Lore to the Game regarding The Template:IconLink, Benedict Baker and Vigo.

Nectar Vial
The Nectar Vial acted as a meter, which was filled by interacting with the Event Objectives. A filled Nectar Vial would grant the Player 1 Putrid Serum.
The Vial had 3 Markers on it, which were only important for Survivors as they could lose partially collected Nectar upon death. The Markers were set at one third, two thirds, and full. Any amount of Nectar that did not fill the Vial to the nearest upper Marker would be lost. Any Nectar that already filled a Marker, however, would be safe.
Putrid Serum
The Putrid Serum acted as a currency, which was obtained by filling Nectar Vials. It was exclusive to the The Hallowed Blight Event and would expire shortly after it ended.
It could be used to purchase Cosmetic pieces of the new Event Outfits.
The maximum amount of obtainable Putrid Serum were 60 Vials, enough to unlock 2 complete outfits or 6 individual pieces to your choice. In order to obtain 60 Vials, Players originally had to play equal parts Survivor and Killer as either side was capped at obtaining only 30 Vials. This was eventually opened after many complaints of atrocious Killer queue times, making it nearly impossible to obtain enough Vials within the Event time frame.
The Cosmetic Rewards are still part of the regular shop and remain purchasable with Template:IconLink.
Challenge
The Event featured personal Challenges that required the Player to fill Nectar Vials in order to unlock Putrid Serum with which they could then buy the Cosmetic Rewards.
Each Map spawned with 2 Visceral Cankers and 2 Cankerous Hooks by default.
The Player could 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 filled the Nectar Vial when they harvested Visceral Cankers or hooked Survivors for the first time on Cankerous Hooks to extract Putrid Nectar. They also gained bonus Template:IconLink for doing so. All bonus Bloodpoints were awarded post-trial during the tally screen and only if the Player had burnt a Template:IconLink Offering. Survivors would lose any Nectar that was not filling the Vial up to the nearest Marker upon death. Any Nectar that did was safe, however. Survivors who burnt the Offering would receive the bonus Bloodpoints from harvesting a Visceral Canker even if it was harvested by another Survivor.
Event Offering
The 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 original Event, the Putrid Serum caused Killers to mutate if they were injected with it.
- Each The Hallowed Blight Cosmetic has a syringe full of Serum stuck into the Killer's flesh.
- Originally, the 2018 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 original Event, following another flood of negative feedback regarding long queue times for Killer Lobbies, the Developers decided to remove the constraints of having to play both sides to obtain all 60 Vials and allowed people to get 60 Vials with either side.
