Demon Ability

[IHaveNoMercy]

Just started 42 Edgefield Road on Professional in a group of 3. First guy ran into the car port to turn on the power, and the Demon hunted instantly and killed him.... How is that a thing.

Demons have a hidden ability to hunt at any sanity- Even up at 100% average. One of the many things to keep you on your toes, Always make sure to look for a hiding spot along the way to the breaker just in case, Or enter with incense and lighter.

Uh, that's a thing because it's designed that way.

You even described it as the "Demon ability".

It's not rocket science.

Thanks for the decent response unlike Noelle. Yeah that makes sense I guess, we also figured maybe carrying the crucifix in and putting it in the room might not be a bad idea as a fail safe when 1 player runs for the power immediately.

Obviously I stated that its the Demon's Ability, because I know it is. I wonder why having something that can end your game in the first 10 seconds of entering the room and switching on the power, when its already so hard to out run it, is so hard lol. Maybe the guy can carry incense to give them a chance if it does hunt like that. I just dont see how someone made that a feature and said yeah were gonna go with the 10 second kill thing.

Don't worry, Yokai can do the same if you talk next to it.

This is a once in a thousand games thing though. We've had a couple of demons recently and they didn't attack right away.

Yeah that is true, even as my friend put it, its like 1 in 27 Ghosts are gonna straight up do this to you on this difficulty, what are the chances. I just dont like the idea of it, I dont see why its apart of the game, it takes away from the purpose of the game play to just die.

if you don't want that to happen, that's what the setup time is for to give you some space to search for hiding spots. Other than that, if you don't want to tank your multiplier, then your best reaction is to learn how to loop, as that should make it possible to still survive like 9 out of 10 instant demon hunts.

false. Yokai can only hunt at 80% sanity or lower when talking near, and it's pretty much the rarest ability in the game. Literally hundreds of yokai and I've never had it hunt from voice ever.

If i get hunted at 80% sanity i think it much less the same. I died to a Yokai before after freshly entering the house.

Happens to me constantly when I encounter Demons, happens so much that I decide to go back to the truck to get the Crucifixes when I find the Ghost Room. Got my crap kicked in too many times due to Demon's desire to hunt me early.

My last game was a Demon. Once I realized the 3rd evidence was Ghost Writing, I zoomed back to the truck for those precious Crucifixes. And I kid you not, a few seconds after laying them down, one of them warded off a hunt.

Demons are no joke; they ruined many runs early for me.

[Quineloe]

If you find the ghost room without being hunted, it literally did not happen to you. We're talking about opening the door and immediately being hunted.

The fundamental flaw in your argument is that you think "hunt" = "someone dies".

You know what you do when the Demon hunts at 100% sanity? You run and hide. Just like whenever any other ghost in the game starts hunting.

That's the downside of playing every single game on Tanglewood. A hunting demon has a roughly 40% chance to manifest right next to you from one of those many rooms right next to the entrance.

Er, ok. Except the OP was said they were playing on Edgefield.
