Crucifix failed

[DerpyDoo]

We found the ghost room, placed a crucifix, 3 players in the room and one in the van. Hunt activated, ghost walked over crucifix which broke off a piece and made the crucifix glow orange, then it killed me anyway.

We were very confused and thought there may have been a ghost that could break and cancel crucifixes. So my friends placed another one in the room, another hunt happened, crucifix broke and another player died.

Very confused as to what happened.

Each crucifix can only stop two hunts; First hunt breaks off an arm and makes the area broke off glow orange ish, The second hunt will make the whole crucifix glow bright orange, And then after that, the crucifix no longer has any effect and the ghost can hunt freely.

Once a piece breaks off, You know to be wary, Once the whole thing lights up like a beacon, it's time to run.


Also, The crucifix will only prevent hunts within a 3m area around itself (5m vs banshees specifically); If the ghost attempts to hunt from literally anywhere else in the building that isn't in range of a crucifix, it'll be able to. The crucifix can only stop hunts that begin in range of it (and only stops 2 hunts.)

It's hard to say for certain whether it was the ghost room, we fully believed it was and she always spawned right by the door so I think it was the ghost room but it may have been the hallway outside I suppose.

If it was the ghost room them something must have glitched because there were 2 haunts and 2 crucifixes. The crucifixes got damaged for each haunt but the ghost still killed regardless. The first haunt happened shortly after I placed the crucifix, a piece broke off and started to glow orange, the ghost walked over and killed me anyway.

2nd haunt happened after we replaced the crucifix, ghost spawned, the crucifix broke again and she killed the second player.

After that we declared it was bugged and told the 3rd player to leave the level.

the crucifix does not stop the ghost from killing you, it only prevent the start of the hunt, if the crucifix burn (up to 2 times) it means the ghost wanted to hunt but got cancel by the crucifix, note that once the hunt got prevented by the crucifix it takes only 5sec for the ghost to start another hunt

Sounds like you're saying the crucifix was broken AFTER it started hunting? Yea that's definitely a bug.
If you're saying it broke the crucifix, then immediately started hunting AFTER it broke, then no its not a bug. There is no time limit after a crucifix breaks, so the ghost can hunt immediately after it broke a crucifix if it then moves far enough away from it.

I'm finding this hard to explain properly for some reason.
So it went like this:
Crucifix placed -> Hunt starts -> crucifix breaks -> hunt doesn't end -> death.
And that happened twice, at the end of the game it said there were 2 hunts, so for some reason in this game the crucifix was triggered but it didn't end the hunt for some reason.

If the crucifix can break even if it's not in the ghost room then this could be the case, as it was either the bedroom or the hallway outside as the ghost spawned in the doorway both times.

I wish I got it on video.
