Demon Fast hunting

[Kelsoren]

Alright - This is getting excessive -- I've had NUMEROUS games now where DEMONS spawn RIGHT at the jump and kill someone within a few seconds.... I get you're pushing your new achievement, but this is getting REALLY excessive.........

Sounds like bad luck on your part. Numbers weren't adjusted because they wanted people to max out their achievements. If that was the case the Apocalypse ones would have been nerfed by now so more people could knock them out.

You can switch on the setup time in the custom difficulties, which will prevent these kind of things.

Just the other day I had a Demon and he didn't hunt even with us at 50. We were able to get all evidences and get out without a single hunt.

Demon instant hunts are not that bad. The chance of an instant hunt(within like the first minute) are fairly low. Also there is a high chance the demon will not spawn near you, since it is a random where it is. Which means when a demon does instant hunt, there is a decent chance you will survive if you realize it. Yes some times you might still die and there isn't much you can do but it is rare.

Like 1 in a 1000+ games type rare.

Far more common are early demon hunts where it is hunting at like 80% sanity. While not instant, it can really catch people off guard a lot. That is why I typically carry a cross in with me when I go into a house. As soon as I find the ghost room I throw the cross down and that avoids most issues with early hunts.

After an update in the summer I had 3 demons in a row, all of them started hunting immediately. It was a "great" experience... not really. :-)

Can I please get some of that early hunt luck? Just until I get the achievement. Then you can have it back.

I'd like to know what sort of settings you're playing on. Difficulty, custom settings, map, etc. Did you confirm demon at the end of game screen?

If you're getting demons that actually use their ability to hunt within the first minute or so, I'd consider yourself very lucky. Start taking smudges in first.

So that's why Demons never instant hunt me, they are busy doing it to literally EVERYONE else... I just want the last achievement man.

It's one of four I don't have and I do not want it. Getting munched the instant you walk in is rough

Can you share your demons? Because i have done over 100+ trying to get the achievement with no luck. Died in 13 seconds to one but not its ability which I had the sanity over its threshold but whatevs. I have only had the 1 in 100+
