The Ghoul's Info

Drawn into The Fog, Ken Kaneki’s ghoulish nature ran rampant, fuelled by dark urges and insatiable hunger.
If you see a black and scarlet eye blazing above a grotesque grin, it’s already too late…

SPECIAL ABILITY: ONE-EYED TERROR
The Ghoul starts the Trial with 2 Tokens.

SPECIAL ABILITY: KAGUNE LEAP
Press and hold the Power button to charge a Kagune Leap, while aiming the reticule at any vertical surface or Survivor within 14 metres.
Press the Attack button to initiate a Kagune Leap, consuming -1 Token, or release the Power button to cancel it:

  • Attaches the tentacles to the target and quickly pulls The Ghoul forwards.
  • Grants the ability to leap over WindowsIconHelp window.pngIconHelp window.pngIconHelp window.png or dropped PalletsIconHelp pullDown.pngIconHelp pullDown.pngIconHelp pullDown.png.

After performing a Kagune Leap, if there is still a Power Token available, a window of opportunity opens for 5 seconds:

  • Press the Attack button to initiate another Kagune Leap.
  • Press the Secondary Power button to cancel the Power.
    • The button may also already be pressed at any point during the Leap to instantly cancel it upon landing.

Kagune Leap automatically enters its cool-down after any of the following:

  • The last Power Token has been consumed.
  • The window of opportunity has elapsed.
  • A Vaulting action has been performed.
  • A Survivor has been grabbed.

During the cool-down, Kagune Leap recharges all consumed Power Tokens at a speed of 4 seconds per Token.
The Power only becomes available again after fully recharging all Tokens.

If Kagune Leap is not already on cool-down, breaking a Pallet causes it to enter a forced cool-down equivalent to 1 Power Token.

SPECIAL INTERACTION: TARGETING SURVIVORS & SURVIVOR COLLISION
Targeting a Survivor directly or colliding with them at any point during a Kagune Leap has multiple possible effects and interactions:

  • If it is the first Leap, indicated by the reticule showing a closed mouth, the Survivor will remain unharmed.
  • If it is the second Leap, indicated by the reticule showing an open mouth, grants the ability to perform a Grab-Attack.
  • Colliding with a Survivor vaulting or standing on the other side of a Window or dropped Pallet during a Kagune Leap damages them.


SPECIAL ATTACK: GRAB-ATTACK
While the Grab-Attack occurs automatically when the conditions are met, it features an optional button prompt QTE:

  • Swiftly press the Attack button to perfectly time the attack, extending the subsequent Countdown.
  • Missing the button prompt will apply the regular Countdown.

The Grab-Attack applies the following effects to the targeted Survivor:

  • Applies the Injured StateIconHelp injured.pngIconHelp injured.pngIconHelp injured.png when healthy.
  • Causes them to suffer from the Deep WoundIconStatusEffects deepWound.png Status Effect.
  • Applies the Kagune Mark.

After performing a Grab-Attack, The Ghoul enters Enraged Mode.

SPECIAL AFFLICTION: KAGUNE MARK
Fully Mending or entering the Dying StateIconHelp dying.pngIconHelp dying.pngIconHelp dying.png removes the Kagune Mark for that Survivor.

Marked Survivors cannot be injured by Grab-Attacks, but still suffer its other effects.

SPECIAL MODE: ENRAGED MODE
While in this mode, The Ghoul is granted these following effects:

  • Increases the number of Power Tokens to 3.
  • Reduces the Power Recharge time to 2.5 seconds per Token.
  • Reduces the Vaulting time while targeting a Survivor located across it.
  • Increases the Pallet-breaking penalty to 2 Power Tokens.

Enraged Mode remains active for as long as there is at least one Survivor with the Kagune Mark or if the Countdown is active.

SPECIAL INTERACTION: COUNTDOWN
Once the last marked Survivor removes their Kagune Mark, the Countdown triggers and is indicated on their HUD Portrait.

The Countdown lasts for 40 seconds, after which Enraged Mode ends.
Performing a perfectly timed Grab-Attack increases its duration to 50 seconds.
