IconHelpLoading totem

Totems are Props and a Game Mechanic that were added to Template:IconLink with Patch 1.3.0.


Overview

There are two types of Totems: Dull Totems and Hex Totems.
Each Map spawns 5 Totems at the beginning of a Trial.

Template:IconLink can walk up to a Totem and cleanse it, which will destroy it and in case of a Hex Totem, deactivate its associated Hex Perk.
This action also rewards them with Template:IconLink in the Boldness Category.

The cleansing action takes 14 seconds to complete by default and resets if the Survivor interrupts it.
The Killer can increase this time by using the Perk Template:IconLink and Template:IconLink.


Dull Totems

Dull Totems are unlit Totems found in random locations throughout the Trial Grounds.

Unless the Killer uses any Hex Perk, or just Template:IconLink prior to its activation, all five Totems will be dull ones.

Cleansing a Dull Totem will reward the Survivor with 1,000 Bloodpoints.


Hex Totems

Hex Totems are a special kind of Totem, identifiable, and differing from Dull Totems, by the lit candles underneath them.

If the Killer uses any of the 15 available Hex Perks equipped (with the exception of Template:IconLink that will not light its potential Totem until its activation), a randomly chosen Dull Totem will become a Hex Totem at the start of the Trial.
Each Hex Perk is tied to its own Hex Totem. Neither the Killer nor the Survivors have any means to discern, which Hex is associated with which Hex Totem.

Cleansing a Hex Totem will reward the Survivor with 1,500 Bloodpoints and disable the associated Hex Perk for the remainder of the Trial.

The only exception to this is when the Killer is using Template:IconLink, in which case the cleansed Hex, including any acquired Tokens, will be transferred to Undying's Totem and replace it.
Cleansing a Hex Totem will trigger a map-wide sound cue, akin to a strike of thunder.

Boon Totems

Boon Totems are a version of the Hex Totem that is exclusive to Survivors.

They were announced during the 5th Anniversary live stream on May 25th, 2021, with no further details provided. They are distinguished by blue fire as opposed to the normal fire of the Hex Perks.

Trivia

  • In the Game files, Hex Totems are referred to as "Hex Bags".
  • In rare cases and due to bugs, it has occurred that some iterations of the largest Maps spawned an additional sixth Totem.
