[mono no aware]

just collect only bandages and large medicines in your inventory. you should be in hiding spot for no more than 20 seconds during the whole trial. you don't even have to survive as i remember, can be incapacitated multiple times. I recommend kill the snitch trial, it's shorter than the others

[Luc1f3r]

Complete a Winter kills trials without using hiding spots for mo than 20 seconds - I can't do it.

[Luc1f3r]

There are not enough descriptions of what needs to be done in some non-obvious Tasks.

[mono no aware]

as far as I remember, all the rewards that were not included in the Geister catalog were also given for tasks.

[mono no aware]

yes, I forgot to add this cosmetic to "other rewards". it's given for completing part 1 or part 2 tasks in random order.

[Cheaple]

I have the fat suit cosmetic that says merry christmas in it that I unlocked last year, is that a 2023 exclusive and was there something like that for geister 2.0?
