For each Rekindled Totem, Hex: Pentimento gains +1 Token, up to a maximum of 5 Tokens:
  • 1 Token: Reduces the Action speeds for Healing and Repairing by -20 %.
  • 2 to 5 Tokens: Increase the strength of the Action Speed penalty by a stackable 1/2/3 % per Token, up to a maximum of 24/28/32 %.
  • Survivors cursed by Hex: Pentimento see the Auras of Rekindled Totems within 16 metres.
Once Hex: Pentimento has reached its limit of 5 Tokens, it calls upon The Entity for the following effect:
  • Blocks all Rekindled Totems for the remainder of the Trial.
Totems may only be rekindled once per Trial, with The Entity consuming the remains of Rekindled Totems once they are cleansed.

All effects of the Hex Perk persist until its Hex TotemIconStatusEffects cursed.pngIconStatusEffects cursed.pngIconStatusEffects cursed.png is cleansed or blessed.

"Though a pentimento is an inherently concealed piece of art, there is something to be said of the desire to discover that which is beyond." — A Guide to Art & Process (1961)

Change Log

Patch 8.7.0

    • Buff: moved the Healing effect to the first Token.
    • Buff: each Token increases the strength of the effect by an additional 1/2/3 %.
    • Nerf: reduced and modified the starting value from a variable 20/25/30 % to a fixed -20 % across all Tiers.
    • Nerf: no longer affects the Action speeds for Gate-Opening and Recovery.
    • Nerf: the Auras of Rekindled Totems are now revealed to Survivors within 16 metres.


Trivia

  • Boon Totems that were destroyed with Shattered HopeIconPerks shatteredHope.pngIconPerks shatteredHope.pngIconPerks shatteredHope.png can be immediately rekindled with Hex: Pentimento.
  • Survivors are unable to bless a Rekindled Totem, the only available interaction for them is cleansing it.
  • By rekindling cleansed Hex Totems, Killers humour the meaning of a "Pentimento", as they essentially paint over the original Hex's effect with a new one from Hex: Pentimento, offering it new meaning.
