Can D.O.T.S kill you?

No, kind of seems like it rolled for a hunt right after it rolled for DOTS so it killed you mid DOTS. Just got unlucky is all. Used to be a bug where if it hunted while in DOTS state it would be fully invisible except for under DOTS during the entire hunt. That was not a fun time

This looks like the DOTs hunt bug, since you can see the ghost in the DOTs state (looks like it's going into the storage room, then it shows up in a different place and stops moving (hunt setup time) and then it starts blinking and moving towards you (normal ghost hunting behavior), but while only visible in DOTs (or showing up as if in DOTs state).
Classic. Good thing you had DOTs fully covering the room. Weird you didn't get any audio cues though.
For once on this forum, actual proof of a bug!

i m now curious, what would happen if a Goryo does the DOTs hunt glitch?

would you see the hunt without the glitch with your bare eyes but glitched through cameras, as for goryo dots dont appear to the bare eye?
or would it just have the same DOTs glitched hunt behaviour as other dots ghosts...
or does it not have the DOTs glitch at all?

I wonder if you could rule out Goryo if you see a DOTs hunt

I've been killed once by a DOTS ghost. The DOTS figure appeared and started walking towards me and then I suddenly died. I was so confused cause I have never seen or heard of this before

On what difficulty did u played. Did the grace period been set on 0?

In this case, it does look like it's the DOTS bug, which we're hoping will get a permanent fix in the next patch.

For future reference, once you get a positive DOTS interaction, it's best to take them down to help avoid this particular issue until then ><

Should be a 3 second grace period as can be heard in the clip. The ghost entered hunting mode, but was simply still visible due to the mentioned bug, while OP pretty much ignored the hunting sound.

Yes, if you have heart attack

[NightWolf]

I have no idea. It happened to me months ago. I usually play Pro or Nightmare. Sometimes I will do a custom setting of 4-5X multiplier with 0-1 second grace period. I say leave it in the game and add an achievement for getting killed by a DOTS ghost lol

[NightWolf]

I do remember I was playing with some friends and we play Pro and Nightmare the most. It had to be one of those difficulties

[Andy Mil]

As far as I watching pro playing nightmare goes. Ghost can straight up spawn on where u are and u only have bout 2 sec to escape which they didnt. Get spawn kill right after enter the house

2 seconds is more than enough for good players to get into a safe spot on most maps. And sure, getting an unlucky demon ability right a t the start can happen, but it's so rare, that you've to play hundreds of hours to get it even once due to how many things need to happen together.

I've legit grinded out the Doom Slayed achievement for several hours and still haven't gotten it. Even had a Demon that refused to hunt for 12 minutes before using its ability.

Imagine finally getting the demon ability within the first minute and it turns out to be a mimic :P

would be so funny


Edit:
unless... i wonder if that would count, as the achievment just says it needs to be the demon ability, it doesnt say it has to be a demon as well

I know (seen on a stream) that a mimic revenant will still trigger the revenant achievement if you survive, so I would assume it would work with mimic demon as well.

DOTs glitch appears to be that the ghost gets stuck in DOTs mode during a hunt (as in, it's in DOTs mode, revealed by DOTs, and decides to hunt). This usually means the ghost is completely invisible unless it's in a DOTs field, at which point it shows up like normal DOTs silhouette, but with hunting behaviors (blinking, moving in not a straight line, following the player, etc). Presumably a Goryo would be completely invisible unless it's in a DOTs field, but then would only show up on camera because Goryo.
