The Hallowed Blight lore

Hello guys!

In this guide I am going to write up the lore which developers publish everyday about this event. This way we will always have a place where we can read it and remember the old times.

I hope you enjoy it!

First cutscene

The Night - October 19th

It is impossible to describe the horrifying scenes I have witnessed... death and misery, in every shape of terror, rule this place.

I can no longer recall how I have come to this place. All I remember is the opaque, milky fumes of opium in the murky den hazing a sweet, welcoming abyss.

I awoke to dreadful screams in this endless night, at the feet of an old tree that leaked foul-smelling fluids. I know not how to reach those poor souls, nor do I want to. Keeping a record is all I can do to make sense of it.

Vigo - October 20th

I discovered a hidden laboratory while running away from a monster. Its stocks are uncommonly plentiful. I observed shelves of alkaloids, crates of silver syringes, piles of protective clothes and a journal signed "Vigo." Its pages are filled with notes on an ancient force that controls the nature of this place--that shapes it. I also noted a few drawings of the growing cankers I've seen on the trees.

The Blight - October 21st

I have been obsessively deciphering Vigo's journal. His work is elegant but erratic, drawing obscure conclusions from disjointed fields.

Most entries mention a powerful force, The Entity, which undergoes a purge that occurs once a year. During this period, The Entity is infested with blight. According to Vigo, cankers bloom into "Pustulas", a type of flower that spurts putrid nectar--the thick fluid I saw oozing from the trees. The last pages of the journal mention a serum distilled from the nectar, but the pages detailing its effects and preparation were torn out.

Wounded - October 22nd

I'm hiding in a dense strip of forest. I'm desperate to erase the distressful images engraved in my mind. Last night, a disfigured man barged into the laboratory with a gruesome, machanical mouth and shred the walls into splinters. I barely escaped with my life--and wounded my arm in process.

I have no options left; these monsters find me no matter where I go. All I have is a journal filled with obscure promises of escape.

I will return to the laboratory.

Experiment - October 23rd

I'm close to death, I can feel it.

When I returned to the laboratory, I started experimenting with the putrid nectar and distilled it into a foul serum. But I made a terrible mistake. I injected the serum into a dead rodent, whose pupils dilated, and its body shook. I tried to restrain it, but the creature bit into my arm, ripping my wound open.

I stopped the bleeding, but I fear the damage is done.

Experiment II - October 24th

I awoke to a terrible cry booming from the cellar and a violent bout of nausea. Through the vile ordeal, I started to recollect what had happened.

Tainted with the foul serum, my wound had swollen with lymph, at which point my assailant returned. Most of our fight was a blur, but I can recall red tears trickling down his gruesome cheeks as I clawed at his face. And some moment later when I kicked him, sending him crashing into a brick wall. The power I felt then... there are no words for it. I now know that there is truth to Vigo's methods.

Another cry. My assailant, now chained in the cellar, must be getting restless.

This is just the beginning.

Second cutscene

The Peak - October 25th

I should have foreseen his escape, given the potent dosage I administered him, but I needed to see results.

Pustula flowers are now blooming on the path leading to the laboratory. According to Vigo's journal, this rapid spread is a sign that the blight is at its peak.

Soon, there will be no more putrid nectar to extract.

Exhausted - October 26th

I slept very little. The acute throbbing in my wound sent me on a restless, agitated drowse. I have no strength left to be patient, and my distress fosters brutal methods.

There are no lines I will not cross.

Restless - October 27th

I limited my rest to only a few minutes here and there--I cannot afford wasting time. Pustulas, once lush with nectar, were withering away at the roots of cankerous trees. I could only extract droplets from a few frail flowers.

I'm running out of time.

At last - October 28th

Based on Vigo's calculations, tonight is my last chance.

I filled a syringe with the last drops of serum and injected it into my arm.

The end - October 29th

I did everything right... and failed.

I am stuck in this infernal place with no serum and nowhere to hide.

Third cutscene

Vigo - October 30th

I looked for Vigo. I shouted his name with no concern for the monsters lurking about. I need to find him... I picture the scene, etching a canvas of wild lines in my mind, focusing on the moon and I know--something is off.

I fed the dead rodent under my pillow.

Pray - October 31st

Soon, very soon, I will be at peace.

The cold claws of death are drawing near.

Pray - October 31st

Soon, very soon, I will be at peace.

The cold claws of death are drawing near.

[WildCloud73]

I don't think so. We have been waiting for Benedict as a killer/survivor for two years @Your local survivor main

[Ching Billing]

Oh why do I feel like the Vigo will be the next survivor while the person that is leaving these documents will be the killer? I know that is unlikely, but man, it would be such a build up for the chapters lore

[WildCloud73]

I got the full Hillbilly set and the full Dwight set @William

[nebby]

@William there are also skins for Claudette and Dwight, but more for the killers. I got the full huntress set, the wraith minus his weapon, and hillbilly torso

[Reverse]

Are the only things you can get with the serum monster skins? If so, which did you guys get?
