Scourge Hook: Monstrous Shrine is a General Perk

available to all Killers

.
History
At the start of the Trial, the
4 Hooks located inside the
Basement and an additional
4 Hooks located throughout the Trial Grounds are all changed into
Scourge Hooks:
- The Auras of Scourge Hooks are highlighted to you in white.
Whenever you are farther than #distance from a Survivor hooked onto a Scourge Hook, the following effect applies:
- Accelerates their Sacrifice Process by 10/15/20 %.
The
4 Hooks located inside the
Basement possess the following benefits:
- Accelerate the Sacrifice Process by 3/6/9 %.
- Reduce the chances to successfully perform a Self-Unhook by 5/10/15 %.
- Increase the penalty incurred when failing a Self-Unhook attempt by 3/6/9 %.
Change Log
- Rework: changed Monstrous Shrine into Scourge Hook: Monstrous Shrine.
- Buff: now also converts 4 random Hooks in the environment in addition to the Basement Hooks.
- Buff: increased the Sacrifice-Process acceleration from 3/6/9 % to 10/15/20 %.
- Nerf: removed the secondary and tertiary effects of making Self-Unhooks more difficult to achieve and more punishing to attempt.
- Nerf: added a distance-stipulation to the primary effect.
Calculations
Hook Stages are analogous to a reservoir of 70 Charges, with each Survivor starting the Trial with 2 of them, for a total amount of 140 Charges.
Whenever a Survivor is hooked, the Hook drains those Charges at a rate of -1 c/s (i.e. the Sacrifice Process).
Scourge Hook: Monstrous Shrine accelerates the Sacrifice Process by increasing that Depletion rate to -1.1/-1.15/-1.2 c/s:

Trivia
